I know I probably sound like a broken record but moving SUCKS! As exciting as having a new house, plus the excitement of renovating it and watching your plans become a reality is. Its also very stressful and it has taken over my life. I had a pretty set schedule where no matter what I always took an hour and went to the gym and worked out. I've never had a problem committing to exercising I actually find I feel, think and obviously look better. Nowadays my day start around 7am and I don't go to sleep until midnight or sometimes even later. The only guaranteed time I have to myself is when I jump in the shower. I love the exercises below because I can do them anywhere in the house and they are quick and easy but you really feel them working. I rotate and always do at-least two every night before I jump in the shower. Do you have any favorite exercise you like to do from home?
Good Luck, Xxx
Classic kick backs:
While on your hands and knees, place one leg in the air with your knees bent 90 degrees. Thrust the leg upward with your foot parallel to the ceiling and contract your glut, then lower your leg back down. Repeat for 50 counts on the right leg, then 50 counts on the left leg. I do this every night before I sleep, it literally takes 5 minutes.
Plie Squat:
Wall PushUp:
Place your hands shoulder-width apart on a sturdy wall in front of you, feet slightly apart, abs engaged, back and legs straight. Lift your heels to balance on your toes and lean forward slightly so most of your weight is on your arms. Inhale as you bend your elbows and lean your body farther toward the wall, maintaining a long, straight line from head to toe.
Bridge:
Lie on your back with your arms at your sides, feet flat and hip-width apart, knees bent, abs engaged and back straight. Exhale as you squeeze your glutes and press your hips toward the ceiling while keeping your back straight. Inhale as you slowly release your hips to the floor and complete I do about 50 of these.
Chair Squat:
Stand in front of chair, feet hip-distance apart, toes forward. Lean chest slightly forward. Bend knees, tap (don't sit!) bottom on chair, then stand up. Keep your weight in your heels and keep knees over toes.
Side Plank:
Lie on your right side with your legs straight. Prop yourself up with your right forearm so your body forms a diagonal line. Rest your left hand on your hip. Brace your abs and hold for 60 seconds. If you can't make it to 60 seconds, hold for 5 to 10 seconds and rest for 5; continue for 1 minute. Be sure your hips and knees stay off the floor.
