I know for a fact that I’m not the only one slaving away at my job for 6-8 hours daily. Likewise, I know how tough it can be to make “going to the gym” a normal routine. Featured below is an easy 30 minute workout one can do at home that doesn’t require virtually anything but you and your body weight.
1. Mountain Climbers- Starting on your hands and knees, bring your right foot forward directly under the chest while straightening the left leg. While keeping your hands on the ground and keeping your core very tight, jump and switch legs.
2. Plyometric Push-ups- For this exercise you are going to want to position yourself on a carpet. Complete a traditional push-up, afterwards explode upward and try to come off the ground (air) while still in the push-up position. Once you are back on the ground you will go straight into the next repetition.
3. The Bear Crawl- Starting on your hands and knees, tighten your core as you rise up on to your toes, and then slowly reach forward with your left arm and left knee. Followed by your right arm and right knee. Continue this for 10 repetitions on each side.
4. Plank into Push-up– For this one, you are going to start in the plank position. From here you will lift one arm at a time while getting into the push-up position. Do a push-up and then get back into the plank position. Repeat this for twenty reps and make sure to squeeze your core the entire time.
5. The Wall Sit- this one it is actually quite simple; put your back up against the wall and act like you’re sitting in a chair, but without an actual chair present. Squat on the wall for about a minute or two, if you can, but make sure your legs are always at a 90 degree angle and your chest is always up.
If you repeat these five exercises for three sets, it should only take thirty minutes and you can do it at the convenience of your own home. Just try to make this simple body work out and the many more too come in your day to day routine. You’ll feel fresher and alive throughout the day than if you weren’t doing any exercising at all.
