need home exercise ideas

[countryrider13]

I don't have money for a gym or DVDs at the moment. What are some things I can do at home during the winter to lose weight?

Buy a jump rope...they are inexpensive and are an excellent cardio workout. Also, get your running shoes out and start running. If you have to start off power walking, do that until you build up to jogging, then train yourself to run a little bit, walk, jog, until you feel you can run a couple of miles without stopping. Get outside...running in the cold won't kill people. I do it al the time in blustery cold weather and have even ran through snow.

Good luck and let us know how your efforts go,

If your glued to being indoors then boxing!

 

a punch bag you can get for £35 and speedball is what £13.

Boxing conditioning, IMHO, its the 1# way to get the quickest results...IF you do it right - don't just tap the bag, practice in slow motion so every single movement of your arm is precise and follow the punch through with your shoulder. Its important to put power into the punch but don't compromise technique.

The thing is you need to make sure your keep moving for as the entire time or "round" if you like, you have to have to have to keep bouncing on your toes constantly.

... say something like:

Week 1 (about 3/4 times a week)-

Box 3 mins, rest 3 mins x3

Week 2 -

Box 3 mins, rest 3 mins x3

Week 3 -

Box 3 mins, rest 3 mins x4

Week 4 -

Box 4 mins, rest 2 mins x3

Week 5 -

Box 5 mins, rest 3 mins x3

 

Just keep playing with the numbers, throw in some push ups, sit ups, pull ups and you'll see results.

1. Walk up and down stairs or go to the high school football field and run the bleachers.

 

2. Tyson squats. Get a deck of cards and lay out 10 cards on the floor in a row. Squat down and pick up the first then come back up. Move to the second card. Squat down and place the 1st card on top of it and come back up. Then squat down and pick up both cards one at a time. Do this and squat once for each card placed and picked up and you will do 400 squats. Work your way up to more cards each time you do this challenge.

 

3. Lunges, burpees, planks, and pushups.

 

4. Just freaking dance to your favorite music.

 

5. Look up bodyweight exercises for a whole lot of options. There are bodyweight exercises for every single muscle group.

 

6. And if all these sound boring, you can always Prancercise!

If you don't have time to exercise you will have to eat less.

 

There are plenty of DVDs where you can exercise for half an hour. Or get an hour long workout and split it up.

Who needs DVDs? You have an internet connection. Google. Youtube. Just do it.

The only free site with enough variety of quality videos I can think of is fitnessblender. Hope this is not deemed as spam.

Exercising can cause you to gain weight. Muscle is far denser than fat.

 

 

Control your diet. That's the key to fat loss. You can avoid a ton of workout time by avoiding excess calories. And make the calories you consume count. Eat natural foods that have a lot of nutritional value. Processed foods are evil.

 

 

Beyond that, 30 minutes of cardio each day is all that it takes. Jump rope, run in place, do calisthenics, or buy a couple of ten pound dumb bells [or whatever you can lift] and do complete range of motion exercises with those.

Body weight exercise, high volume resistance workouts, boxing/shadow boxing.

 

Air squats, Dead-lifts with light dumbbells, Pushups, Planks, etc. Youtube is your friend. With a few used (light) weights, an internet connection, you have easy access to all that is mention in this thread. Very good advice.

 

Also, MYfitnesspal.com is a good way to monitor your intake. You can track your sugar intake, as well as carbs, etc. Half hour a day, 6 days a week, plus monitoring your food intake WILL make you lose fat and gain muscle. Don't just weigh yourself, look also in the mirror. Best combo is resistance workout (weights, etc) plus a cardio exercise every other day. Sleep and water is very, very important also.

Excellent advice. Perfect cardio as well. Got a bag in my house as well, get rid of negative energy while performing intensive cardio and upper body workout. Very satisfying workout.
