If followed swiftly and as guided, Home workout could be just as fruitful as  leg workout, abs workout at a gym.

Before diving into the details of the workout routine at home, we shall understand the benefits accrued from it :

BENEFITS OF HOME WORKOUT

  • Home Workout could be performed at any time i.e., no fixed daily schedule which means you can literally perform it at any time of the day and anywhere
  • You can avoid all the eyes that will be potentially watching you struggle at the gym
  • Home workout cuts the time that is consumed in traveling to and from the gym
  • One of the essential benefits of Working out at your place is that there are no gym or trainer fees involved

Now without further ado, let’s begin with the Home workout plan.

BEGINNER WORKOUT

Home workout
Start slow as a beginner

If you are an absolute beginner, then going all-out from day 1 is a recipe for trouble. So, if you are a newbie, you should follow the following home workout plan in the same sequence:

  • Warm-up – (Full body stretch, Wrist spin, Neck spin)
  • Body-weight squats – These are your ordinary squats. They involve complete knee bend to touch your thighs and calves. This will be very helpful for Legs workout at home. (20 Reps)
  • Push-ups – (10 Reps)
  • Walking lunges (10 Reps – Each leg)
  • Jumping Jacks (30 Reps)
  • Dumbbell Rows (Use a gallon of milk if no dumbbell) (10 – Each arm)
  • Plank (15-20 secs.)

Do this again and again until you can no more, but remember not to hurt your muscles doing it. One thing that should be kept in mind that sufficient rest is just as vital as the workout. Do not do these more than five times a week.

Once you feel that this beginner workout has become easy for you, you can switch to the advanced home workout plan that naturally is more tiring and more fruitful.

Before going into the advanced home workout plan, a few things are needed to be understood. During the home workout plan, you’ll have to work out in a completely different manner. On the one hand, it is impossible to target specific muscles perfectly.

On the other hand, you’ll enjoy both the thrill and the benefits of compound exercises. If you are serious about weight loss, burning belly fat, and improving your general fitness, there is hardly a better option than working out using body weight and the forces of gravity. Also, you must focus on your post-workout diet to achieve maximum results.

ADVANCED HOME WORKOUT ROUTINE

While the beginner regime must be done at least 4-5 times a week for 20 minutes a day, this regime needs to be performed on only three days courtesy of the extreme nature of this workout. We recommend doing this on Monday, Wednesday & Friday.
