We will begin with some stretching, this is the most important thing which helps circulate blood to your muscles and notifies your brain and body about this activity.

You should begin with –

• Arm Stretches
• Hip Rotations
• Neck Stretches
• Shoulder Rotation
• Cat Pose
• And more…

I personally feel pre and post-workout stretching is most necessary as it will keep you away from muscle injury and help gain more flexibility during the exercises you perform.

Note: Always perform 10 minutes of Pre-workout and Post-workout without fail. And see some amazing results in the coming weeks

Coming to the main workout Schedule –

Every day, we will start with 20 * 5 sets of Push-ups and Pull-ups too.

This will work on your Chest and Back muscles.

While if you are on an intermediate level, start with 25 * 4 sets minimum of Push-ups. You can mix it up with Incline & Decline ( Using a Table ). This will pump up your muscles.

Following up with 20 * 5 sets of –

• Squats / Seated Squats for Beginners
• Lunges
• Dumbbell Tricep Kickback
• Burpees

This will focus on your leg muscles and Glutes.

Next, we will do some jumping jacks(Aerobic Exercise), Slow Climbers, Cross Chops, Side Plank, Flutter Kicks, and Plank.

This should be enough for Day 1.

Challenges of Home Workout!

Working out at home is really a challenge, remember I mentioned the same earlier. I am sure you feel the same.

Firstly, comes the environment, which is definitely not conducive to help workout. But, we can do some small things to make it right –

• Playing some music in the background
• Following some videos E.g.Cure.fit
• Working out at a dedicated space in the Balcony or room
• Wearing some attire and shows to get you in the mood
• Keeping a napkin, water bottle handy
• Avoiding social interactions like calls and responding to messages while working out

Still seems too daunting or an uphill task, well the Benefits of Regular Exercise are enormous!

We can keep going on and on on how the Home Workout can help immensely, but we have listed down some small points –

• Saves Time
• No monthly fees required
• Convenience

How will Home Workout help further?

There’s a big misconception that Workout helps you build muscles and once you leave working out you gain weight.

Technically, yes!

Working out is a lifestyle, not a prison.

While working out your body breaks a sweat and you lose energy. To replenish this lost energy, if you have the right food and follow a simple diet where you have lots of fruits and veggies, you can have a healthy life ahead.

Further benefits with regular workout are –

• Helps build bone density and bone health

Finally, after all the hard work don’t forget to cool down your body after all the hard work put in during this hour.

Note: I can’t stress more enough on stretching, it really helps in unimaginable ways. Will keep you away from muscle injury and reduce muscle pain and cramps after workout.

Are Home Workouts effective?

The answer according to me is YES! You will just need to be ready to put in a little time and effort to make it effective.

Don’t lose hope in a couple of days, if you are not seeing any results. Keep grinding, our bodies are a complex structure.

Also, it takes one person himself at least 4 Weeks to see your body changing. And 8 weeks for your Family & Friends. While 12 weeks for the rest of the world.

So, it’s better to continue on your journey, as I personally don’t give a shit what others think of me. I keep on continuing on my fitness journey lifestyle.

Finally, don’t do it for others. It is you who will find it super beneficial in the long-run one future ahead.

Also, do note that Coronavirus is being fought successfully by people who have a strong immune system. So it’s the right time to keep your body in shape by home workout and having a balanced diet to fight this and any other
