Home Exercises

pearson114

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been done to death in the past, however - can anyone recommend any exercises to do at home, with little or no equipment?

With work and family life (kids are at some activity or other nearly every night) - can anyone recommend a good workout plan for home, short and sweet. say 30-40 minutes that doesn't require lots of equipment?

Or, alternatively, does anyone use an app for their exercise routine? And what apps are the best?

Thanks in advance.

Housework is a good calorie burner

Yep for the guys T25 would be short and sweet and requires no equipment... 25 mins a day!

sworkit app! And check out blogilates. I'm going through some of her 30 day challenges and she's got a workout calendar you can follow too.

I recently got a hula hoop. It's fun and is a decent cardio workout.

skipping rope and you are set to go. I presume you can spare a few measly bucks for a jump rope?

An example workout from the web:
How it works: Do the circuit twice, resting for up to 2 minutes in between

JUMP ROPE WORKOUT:
1. 1 minute jump roping with both feet together
2. 20 lunges (10 per side)
3. 1 minute alternate-foot jump roping (as if you were running in place)
4. 10 pushups
5. 1 minute jump roping with both feet together
6. 30-second plank
7. 1 minute alternate-foot jump roping

It's not about the money, more the space in the house

Thanks all, much appreciated, I'll have a good look through the links when I get home tonight.

Get a doorway pull up bar. About thirty bucks and you can put it in the closet when your not exercising.

You Are Your Own Gym phone app or book/dvd. highly recommend!

I use the "7 minute workout" app on my phone...its free and you can do it more than once for a longer workout

All good, plus when my kids were little I would run or walk while they were at ballet or soccer or whatever. I used to run laps around the soccer field so I was close. Sometimes the coach needed an extra hand and I had offered to help and would chase balls or field kicks, etc. THe other parents were just standing around talking and watching.
