Workouts You Can Do Really Well at Home

There’s a few workouts you can do really well at home.

I know during lockdown we were forced to do a lot of things at home, but training was difficult. A lack of equipment, space and the right training environment meant that there was an element of ‘going through the motions’ with exercise.

Despite that though, there are workouts that lend themselves well to being done at home.

With the abundance of online resources and a bit of space, you can effectively perform a variety of workouts. Here are five excellent workouts you can do really well at home.

Yoga

Yoga is an excellent workout that you can easily perform in your living room.

The internet is teeming with yoga instructors who film their classes and upload them to platforms like YouTube. This means you can follow a guided practice without leaving the comfort of your home.

Equipment requirements are minimal – a yoga mat is typically all you need to get started. Some may also use blocks or straps, but these are optional and inexpensive. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced yogi, there's a wealth of online content to suit your level and style preference.

Pilates

Much like yoga, Pilates is another fantastic home workout that doesn't demand much equipment.

For mat-based Pilates, all you really need is a mat and enough space to move comfortably. If you wish to incorporate additional tools like a Pilates ball or resistance bands, they are generally affordable and easy to store.

Many Pilates instructors have embraced online platforms, offering classes that guide you through various exercises aimed at strengthening your core, improving flexibility, and enhancing overall body awareness. With these resources, you can enjoy a high quality and effective Pilates workout at home.

Skipping

Skipping, or jump rope, has seen a resurgence in popularity thanks to a few influential online personalities. It’s a highly effective cardiovascular workout that you can do at home with minimal equipment – just a jump rope and enough space to skip safely.

Skipping is great for improving coordination, agility, and endurance. There are plenty of tutorials and workout routines available online, making it easy to learn new techniques and keep your workouts varied and challenging. This simple yet effective exercise can be a fun addition to your home fitness regimen.

Stretching and Mobility

If yoga isn't quite your thing but you still want to work on your flexibility and mobility, stretching and mobility exercises are perfect for home workouts. Simply roll out your mat, grab any mobility tools you might have – such as a foam roller, resistance bands, or massage balls – and get to work.

There are numerous guided classes available on YouTube that can lead you through a variety of stretches and mobility drills designed to improve your range of motion, reduce muscle stiffness, and enhance overall movement quality. This type of workout is ideal for maintaining your body's functionality and preventing injuries.

Bodyweight Strength Training

Bodyweight strength training is an excellent way to build muscle and increase strength without the need for weights or machines. Exercises like push-ups, squats, lunges, planks, and burpees can be performed anywhere in your home with enough space.

Many fitness trainers offer online classes or workout routines that can guide you through proper form and progressively challenging exercises. By incorporating bodyweight strength training into your home workout routine, you can effectively improve your fitness levels using nothing more than your own body weight.

Staying fit at home is both feasible and convenient with the plethora of online resources and minimal equipment required. Whether you prefer yoga, Pilates, skipping, stretching and mobility exercises, or bodyweight strength training, there are plenty of options to keep you active and healthy in the comfort of your own home.
