Home Workout | The Cold Hard Facts
Home Workout | The Cold Hard Facts
The truth of it is in fact there is not a single muscle you can’t exercise in a home workout that you can in a gym. Everything from hamstrings to forearms can be given the necessary attention it needs to be able to grow, strengthen and improve functionality. All it depends on is the time you can invest, (about 2 hours and 15 minutes a week) and your motivation to meet or even exceed your goals. When you workout, keep a little voice in your head saying “not much longer”. Because of the nature of the home workout, it honestly wont seem much longer until you can rest for the rest of the day, and then take a day off. Also you can be rest assured that on your next workout you wont have to exert yourself for a long period of time. This is good framework of a nice home workout for around 40-45 minutes. (with rest in between sets)
Home Workout | Safety First
When engaging in a new home workout, I would advise you to meet with your doctor to figure out if this kind of training is right for you. No matter what kind of workout you are starting, make sure to talk to a medical professional before beginning any diet and exercise regimen. It is important that you push yourself but you have to be careful. If you push yourself too far you could get seriously injured.
Home Workout | Avoiding Injury
One of the best ways to avoid an array of injuries is to stretch and warm-up. When you stretch before entering into a home workout It has many benefits. The most important benefit is that you will in time improve your range of motion and lessen the chance of pulling a muscle. The warm-up is just as important in a home workout. The warm up gets the blood flowing so the muscles you are exercising aren’t so stiff. The warm-up heats the muscles up so when you exercise, you lessen the chance of a serious injury. For a good warm up do 3 low intensity bodyweight exercises.
Home Workout | Simple… Effective Exercises
To give you a little taste of what you should be looking for in a home workout, I’m going to give you an example of what a home workout might look like. This is just an example. For this example we will pick 2 upper body workouts and 2 lower body workouts with 1 total body workout. The workout routines look something like this.
A1)UB) Push-up 8-10
A2)LB) Lunges 8-10
B1)UB) Diamond Push-up 8-10
B2)LB) Bodyweight Squat 8-10
C1)TB) Burpee 10-15
For this home workout you would do each exercise one after the other without rest( A1-A2 Rest and so on). Then you would rest for a minute and repeat the circuit 3 – 5 more times. This is a good example of a simple and effective home workout. In your search for a quality home workout you should look for a guide with a lot of routines similar to this.
