Not everybody can go to the gym and that, too, on a daily basis. Not being able to take out enough time and brave through the traffic, especially in the evening after office, costly personal trainers and an expensive gym membership, are some common excuses for not going to the gym.
However, that should not be an excuse for not doing any exercise. While going to the gym may sound fancy, most exercises can be done at home — at least the basic ones, which keep you fit — unless you want some specific ones for specific reasons.
To work out at home you do not necessarily need heavy gym equipment. No matter how luxurious it looks to have state-of-the-art machines and weights at home, for some people the sight of it might be as tiring as the idea of going to the gym itself. To get fit all you need is motivation along with some knowledge of simple or basic exercises and your workout can be far more convenient, hassle-free and rewarding than any other claims out there for fitness.
No time for the gym? Do a set or two or basic exercises to get your system in the calorie-burning mode
The secret behind a smart and healthy body while exercising at home is to maintain a constant high heart rate. The key is to keep moving your body; shifting from one workout routine to another for at least 15-20 minutes. Exercise reduces extra fat in the body and helps develop lean muscles. The more exercises you do in a loop, the better will be the results, since this burns calories a lot faster.
Here are a few of the most simple and stress-free exercises that can be done at home; they may seem easy at first, but they are quite effective. The key to achieve promised results is to keep up the pace and focus on bringing your body back in shape. The following exercises are as good as the ones at the gym, since the same set of muscles are worked as those in the gym workout.
