Home Exercises That Work For You

I was curious about the different exercises you guys have come up with at home. I'm talking about exercises that don't involve exercise equipment and are just something that you found online/ heard of from a friend/ invented yourself that seem to work for you personally even if many people don't see a difference from it.

well, if i feel like staying inside rather than exercising outdoors, i tend to just look up workout videos online. try searching "fitnessblender" on youtube. i love them because they show what's going to happen next and also how many calories you're burning DURING the workout.. most of their workouts don't require equipment and best of all, it's free ! x0

Okay thanks guys; I'll look at both of them. :happy:0

I don't know if kettlebells fall under your definition of exercise equipment or not.....but you can get a phenomenal workout with them in your home0

Find yourself a HIIT workout on YouTube!0

Dancing! I dance a LOT ... I basically move as creatively as I can, relaxing and keeping a pace toward my goal (either cardio or just flexibility, or a combination), making sure I stretch muscles and FEEL it in my body. It makes it a much more relaxing activity too!
Also, playing with my dog. We play tug-of-war, chase, ball fetch — it's not high level cardio, but it gives me a good little mini-workout to keep my metabolism cranking and my muscles moving.0 -

You Are Your Own Gym. Just get the app for your pad or phone. If you can do all that stuff, you are very fit indeed.0

Weight loss yoga, Zumba, dance, etc. There's a ton on youtube.0

Hardbody Yoga by Tari Rose. I have it memorized now and it is always my go to routine when I just want to stay home.0
-
I enjoy most of Jillian Michael's videos - Boost Metabolism, Banish Fat and Ripped in 30, the You Are Your Own Gym app, and I am really loving the Sworkit Pro app right now. But to be honest I am doing much better working out with a group, it seems more fun and I keep really pushing myself.0
-
I'm loving Sworkit Pro as well. Completely worth the price, if not, more.

Nike Training Club - free app loaded with awesome workouts. Some use dumbbells, but many are just body weight exercises. Lots to choose from and the workouts are 15-45 minutes long. Good stuff.0

I'm pretty sure convict conditioning doesn't require any equipment.0
-
You Are Your Own Gym, Nerdfitness and Convict Conditioning don't require equipment. Neither does running/jogging.
Things I have done or do that don't require equipment -
Crunches - regular, doubles, obliques, reverse and bicycles
Pull ups, Chin ups, Hanging Leg Raises (well, these do require a bar but it's only $28)
Push ups - walls, inclines, half, full, divebombers, wide, triceps, and declines
(Other variations - handstands, supermans, and spider crawls)
Jumping jacks
Jump squats
Burpees
Squats - wall, walking and bodyweight
Lunges - forward, reverse and walking
Bulgarian squats, pistol squats, and split squats
Glute Bridges0 -
Convict Conditioning is a pretty badass body weight program, I highly recommend it.0
-
Convict conditioning is a terrible bodyweight program (some of the progressions are fine, the programming is awful). You are your own gym is better, as are overcoming gravity and building the gymnast body.
Really though you just need to learn to program for yourself because they all suck to some degree. Between youtube and some good ol google searching, you can find all that you'll ever need.
I do all my work at home; my equipment collection built up over the years consists of a doorway pullup bar, a set of cheap rings to hang from it, a mat, some homemade pvc parallettes, a weight vest, and sets of 15, 25, and 35 lb hex DB's. The only piece of equipment that is absolutely essential is a pullup bar.0 -
Another nod for Burpees.
You'll thank us later:)0 -
Waldo is spot on.
I have used BodyRock.TV (also TheDailyHIIT.com) same same- although I hate the new dailyhiit- it's rubbish. but it's a great place to start- great tutorials on form.
LovingFit.com
angrytrainerfitness.com
nerdfitness.com
bloglates on youtube
zuzkalight on youtube.
all have GREAT workouts.
the night thing about body weight- is there are ways to modify- and ways to make it crazy hard with a little ingenuity or elevation (elevated mountain climbers- say waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)0 -
I've been a big fan of Beach Body programs they work well for me. I like the DVD's I can follow easily, little or no equipment or what needed came with the program. I mainly use them for cross training along with my running and biking. I have no desire to ever join a gym, so these programs work for me.0

Try programs from Polish trainner EWA CHODAKOWSKA .
You can find them on Youtube . They're amazing and results are spectacular . In Poland she is very famous because of that trainings .0 -
As stated above, exercise videos on youtube, bodyweight exercises, and running0
-
Lunges! Burpees! Inch Worms! SQUATS. Wall Sits. Pushups. Situps. Etc... such a variety.
Burpees for the win0 -
Insanity, great in home DVD with zero equipment.0
-
Burpees suck. I still do them, but they SUCK.
I love the Skimble Workout Trainer and Sworkit applications that are available on smartphones, and the Gain Fitness Apps that are only available on the iPhone (boooo, I don't have one but the developers are working on one for android phones- yay!)0
