HOME FITNESS WORKOUT

If you are busy, unable to get up early in the morning or have no time for gym, you can stay physically fit just by following this home fitness workout. I use it every now and then and noticed that I feel a lot better whenever I exercise this way than when I don’t.

1) Jog: in one place for 3 minutes

2) Straddle swing: 25 repeats
Stand with your feet spread apart, then bend forward with your arms stretching sideways and swing your arms with left hand touching right toe and right hand touching left toe on each swing.

3) Neck swing: 20 repeats

Stand akimbo. Swing your head round in a circle ten times first in a clockwise direction and then again ten times in anti-clockwise direction.

4) Crunches: 20 repeats

Lie flat on your back. Place your hands behind your head with elbows pointing outwards. Support your neck with your hands. Raise yourself ten times into a sitting position without moving your legs and lower yourself back again until the back of your shoulders touches the mat. Repeat this another ten times, but this time raising your legs from flat to vertical position and lowering them back again without moving your hands.

5) Press up: 10 repeats
Lie facedown and rest on your hands in a prostrate position. Lower your body down and then back up without allowing your belly touch the ground.

6) Squat arm twist: 10 repeats
Stand up straight and position yourself as if sitting on a chair with your hands on your sides. Clench your fists and swing them up as though placing your hands on arm rests. Swing your fists face up and jerk your elbows to your ribs then raise your hands until your fists reach above your head. Retrace the steps back to standing position.

7) Waste winding: 10 repeats
Stand at akimbo and wind your waste in circular motion five times clockwise and five times anti-clockwise.

8) Wrist flap: 1 minute
Put your hands in normal position when standing and flap your fingers. Stretch your hands forward and repeat finger flapping until your wrists feel good.

9) Jump: 15 repeats
Stand in a spot and jump up stretching your hands up and legs sideways. For the next jump, stretch your hands upwards while your legs still move sideways.

Cool down by walking around, till your heart rate starts getting back to normal. A minutes rest is needed in between exercises. Do not hold your breath during the exercise. By now, you should feel like taking a shower and facing up to the day’s task, thanks to the home fitness workout.
