You can keep
in shape with exercise movements that you can do at home without equipment.
We guess you
missed training in the gym like all of us.
However, these days when we stay at
home, there are some basic movements you can do by using your own body weight
to keep you in shape. These home exercise moves, which you can do without
equipment, using just a mat, are perfect for burning fat, shaping your muscles, and improving your fitness.
So, what
should you follow while doing exercise movements at home? You should do these
basic movements, which we will list for you, in the form of a circular workout.
You must repeat each exercise as many times as we have told you, and complete
all five movements in one full set without rest. When the set is over, rest for
about two minutes, then repeat the whole set one or two more times, depending
on your condition.
Spread your
feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and stand as straight as
possible. Keep your arms straight in front of your body at shoulder level so
your arms are parallel to the floor. Throughout the entire movement, your waist
should be slightly bent and as straight as possible from your upper body. Using
support from the abdominal muscles, push your hips back and lower your body as
much as possible by bending your knees. After a little pause in this position,
return to your starting position. This was a repeat. You should do your Squat between
15 and 20 reps in a set.
Home Fitness Movements: Inclined
Push-ups:
Take a
push-up position, but with your hands on a high surface, such as a box, a coffee
table, or a chair, rather than the floor. Remember, the higher the surface on
which you place your hands, the easier the exercise will be. The body should
form a straight line from the ankles to the head. Lower your body without
bending until your upper arms are below your elbows. Pause in this position and
push yourself back to the starting position as soon as possible. Do 12 to 15
repetitions.
Home Sports Moves: Hip Raise
Place your
arms at your sides at a 45-degree angle. Now try to inhale your stomach as much
as possible and continue breathing normally. Keeping your core muscles tight,
squeeze your hips and lift them off the floor. Let the body form a straight
line from the shoulders to the knees. Continue to squeeze your hips, pause for
five seconds, and then bring your torso to the starting position. Do 10 reps.
Home Sports Moves: Side Plank
Lie on the
mat on your right side with your knees straight. Support your upper body with
your right elbow and forearm under your right shoulder. Place your left hand on
your left hip. Inhale your stomach and hold it that way while breathing
normally. Then lift your hips until your body forms a straight line from your
ankles to your shoulders. When your core muscles are fully tight, hold the
position for 30 seconds. Then repeat the same movement with your left side.
If the side
plank is difficult for you, you can hold the movement for five seconds and rest
for five seconds for a total of 30 seconds. Another easy alternative would be
to do the movement by bending your knees 90 degrees and supporting your lower
legs that you lean on the ground.
Home Sports Movements: Y-T-I Raise
Movements
This is a
combination of three similar movements. You should do each raise between 8 and
12 repetitions, without rest, and one after the other. In other words, you
should Y-raises for 8 to 12 times, then T-raises for 8 to 12 times immediately,
and then 8 to 12 repetitions.
Y Raise:
Extend your
arms straight on the ground at a 30-degree angle to your body. So your body
will form a letter Y. Your palms should be facing each other, while in this
position, raise your arms up as far as you can.
T Raise:
This
movement is very similar to a Y raise, except that it should stand at a right
angle to your body with your arms and thumbs pointing up. So the body will look
like a T letter. Then raise your arms as high as possible.
I Raise:
This time,
stretch your arms straight forward in a straight line from the feet of the body
to the tips of the toes. Your palms should be facing each other with the thumbs
of your hand facing up. Then raise your arms as high as possible.

All these moves help you hit your health and fitness goals. These moves do not need any equipment to purchase.you can do these movements by occupying a small patch of floor.i hope these physical activities helps you a lot.
We
all know that regular exercise has very positive effects and benefits on
health. It improves not only our physical health (body) but also psychological
health (mind) regardless of age and gender. Some people are afraid of physical
activity. people hear about exercise and took the meaning of the gym and
lots of hard work. you did not need to put much effort in start.you can take start with a walk, run,
and even dance, these are great physical activities. You wonder by knowing the
positive effects of exercise. According to a survey in UK regular physical
activity reduced the risk of hip fracture by 68% in an individual and diabetes
(type 2) by 40%.
If
you are scrolling for positive effects you are at the right place it’s never
too late. Some of the benefits of exercise are:
1. Regular exercise improves mental health and memory:
Exercise is the most important factor in improving health. Exercise is effective for seven out of ten, the most common chronic
diseases in America. Aerobic activity increases heart rate; so, blood flow
provides more oxygen to our brain. On the other hand, brain cells grow fast
when exercise promotes the release of hormones.
Hippocampus is the part of the
brain that is responsible for long-term memory. When a person starts running
it enhances the growth of hippocampus cells.
The research also showed that
exercise works as antidepressant drugs.2. Exercise reduces depression and stress:
When
you face depression or feeling stress; exercise is the thing that can
overcome
these feelings. Psychological studies show that 10 minutes walk is as effective
as 45 minutes’ hard work- out. When you get motivated to start exercise then
you are far away from negative thoughts. Depression badly affects the
nerves of the brain that cause laziness and fatigue; exercise is the miracle
that overcomes that fatigue and makes us tension free.
3. Physical activities bring happiness:
Every type of exercise such as walking,
running, jogging, swimming, cycling, and many others bring happiness in life.
Exercise stimulates the release of chemicals in the brain that relieve pain,
make mood happy, and drop sad factors. These chemicals are dopamine, serotonin,
and endorphins.
4. Boost-up self- confidence:
Exercise is the best way to trigger the feeling
of self-liking. If you have no confidence don’t worry, start doing simple
physical activities and you fall in love with yourself. It boosts your
confidence and you will be an inspiration for others.
5. Regular physical activities cut down the risk of diseases:
Regular exercise
reduces the risk of cardiac diseases and blood pressure. In the past it was
declared that people having the risk of stroke, type 2-diabetes and heart
failure to avoid physical activities, but recently an analysis of almost 300 clinical
trials showed that exercise has positive effects on such patients and helps
them in recovery.It
reduces the risk of
- High blood pressure
- Type 2 diabetes
- Different types of cancer (bladder, breast, lungs, and kidneys, etc.)
- Alzheimer disease
- Liver disease
6. Improve sleep :
Exercise
stimulates or regulates circadian rhythm which leads to quality sleep. Studies show that physical activities
promote quality sleep up to a high level.it found that in one-week physical
activity of 150 minutes improve sleep quality up-to 65%. People having sleep
disorders need to do exercise regularly to get rid of this. During exercise
body temperature increases which aids quality sleep.
7. Fast weight loss:
Laziness
and inactivity are the main sources of weight gain or obesity. Regular physical
activity promotes the burning of calories if these activities are not done; fat
stores in the belly in the form of adipose tissues which leads to obesity, heart
disease, and hypertension. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are sources of
energy.
During exercise, our cardiovascular system works strongly to give
oxygen for the break down of these compounds then fat cells of the
body shrink. So, due to the high metabolic rate extra calories burnt really fast. In women during pregnancy, it reduces fat and gestational
diabetes.
8. Support the skeletal system:
Exercise
plays a very important role in building body muscles both in kids and adults. In a
mature person, Weight-lifting and enough protein are the factors that make
connective tissues strong. During exercise, muscles do great work and become stronger. The Strong skeletal system prevents the body from injuries in every
part of life.
9. Extend the life span:
In present days heart diseases, cancer, and many other
diseases are causes of mortality and early death. Regular physical activities
add years in life. Due to exercise life span expand up to a high level. Study
shows that a low- intensity exercise increases life span.
If someone does 10
minutes simple exercise he feels great changes and never grows aged early as
compared to a lazy person, who has not only 10 minutes for doing exercise to
maintain health.
People who perform physical activities in their leisure time
for 10 to 59 minutes per week reduced early death by up to 18%. They have 12%
fewer chances to die with cardiovascular diseases and 14 % with cancer. It found
that 3 hours per day physical exercise reduces the risk of early death 46%.so,
work out of just a few minutes can extend an individual’s life span greatly.
10. Improve sexual life and flexibility:
Exercise
improves sexual activity and sexual pleasure; it builds muscles and effectively
enhances flexibility. It found that women have a disability of ovary, felt
reasonable improvement through exercise.
10. conclusion:
Every type of exercise or physical activity is beneficial for health.it keeps you away from chronic diseases.it also improves the visibility of skin. Exercise makes people feel happy to avoid anxiety and depression. Exercise always keeps a person fresh and away from negativity. When a person undergoes through disappointments; exercise is the only miracle left behind. The need of the time is just to get started from some point and believe in yourself.
