In this video I'll show you a bunch of exercises that you can do without any equipment.
You can do these at home, at a hotel if you are traveling, outside or maybe even at your work.
In The next few videos in the fit at home series I will start added some equipment, such as resistance bands, pull-bar, kettlebells and so on. I'll also show you alternatives to equipment, that you should be able to find or make at your home.
General tips on getting fit at home
food matters - find out which kind of dieting fits you best, then stick to it
Keep a log of all you eat - write down every meal and snack
Make sure stay hydrated, drink lots of water
Start with simple exercises at home and then slowly invest in equipment - if you have a gym membership, then do some training at home and some at the gym.
You'll quickly find out which exercises you can do at home, and which that requires the equipment that's available in the gym.
Buy only equipment that you know for sure that you'll be using often.
Example, if you're not that much into cardio, then don't go out buying a rower or treadmill - I did that, I bought an expensive Concept2 rower that I probably used once a month or so.
Commitment is important
Keep a log of all your training, that way it's easier to see your improvements.
Plan your meals and training ahead
Prep food for many days - if your food is always ready for you, it's much easier to stay on a diet
Same goes for training, plan your training a few days ahead
Do 5-10 of these exercises for 3-5 rounds pr. workout
The amount of repetitions you should do and how often depends on the exercise and your fitness level.
I would usually recommend
Sit-ups 10-20 reps
Russian twist 20-60 reps
Mountain climbers 40-100 reps
Push-ups 10-20 reps
Air squat 10-40 reps
Static air squat 20-60 seconds or until failure
Wall-sit 20-60 seconds or until failure
Jumping squats 10-40 reps
Cossack squats 10-20 reps
Calf raises 20-40 reps
Lunges 10-20 reps
Walking lunges 10-20 reps or a similar distance
Squat thrusts 20-40 reps
Burpees 10-40 reps
Jumping jacks 20-80 reps
You could also do high intensity training styles such as
tabata - do 20 seconds of work at full speed then rest for 10 seconds do 8 rounds or more of that with 2-4 exercises
amrap - as many reps as possible for set time, this could be anything from 1-10 or more minutes depending on your fitness level and how many exercises you choose.
emom - Every minute on the minute, do a specific amount of reps of one or a few exercises that you can complete withing 40-50 seconds - do this for 5-15 minutes
Remember to log all your workouts - strive to get better each time.
