In today’s fast-paced world, finding time to hit the gym can be a challenge. But what if you could get a full-body workout without leaving your home? As an NSCA Certified Personal Trainer, I’m here to tell you that it’s not only possible, but it can also be incredibly effective. In this blog post, I’ll share some of the best workouts you can do at home with minimal to no equipment. And the best part? Complete video workouts that can be done at home with minimal to no equipment are included in our Platinum and above memberships.
Understanding Your Body
Before we dive into the workouts, it’s crucial to understand how your body functions. That’s why I offer a 12-module course called Onboard 101. This course empowers you with a basic foundation of knowledge about your body. Once you understand this, you can see how all other elements of your lifestyle tie into your overall health and wellbeing. From sleep patterns to stress management, every aspect of your life impacts your fitness journey.
The Workouts
Now, let’s get into the heart of the matter – the workouts. Here are some of the best exercises you can do at home:
Bodyweight Squats: This exercise targets your lower body. It’s simple, effective, and requires no equipment. Start with your feet shoulder-width apart, bend your knees and lower your body as far as you can. Push back to the starting position and repeat.
Push-ups: Push-ups are great for your upper body. They target your chest, shoulders, and triceps. Start in a high plank position, lower your body until your chest almost touches the floor. Push back to the starting position and repeat.
Planks: Planks are an excellent exercise for your core. They also help improve your posture and balance. Start in a forearm plank position, keep your body straight and hold the position as long as you can.
Jumping Jacks: This is a great cardio exercise that you can do anywhere. Start standing, jump and spread your legs while swinging your arms above your head, then jump back to the starting position and repeat.
Lunges: Lunges are another great lower body exercise. They target your quads, hamstrings, and glutes. Start standing, step forward with one foot and lower your body until your front knee is at a 90-degree angle. Push back to the starting position and repeat with the other leg.
Remember, the key to effective workouts is consistency. Try to incorporate these exercises into your routine at least three times a week.
Nutrition and Meal Plans
Of course, exercise is just one part of the equation. Proper nutrition is equally important. That’s why I offer meal plans written by Registered Dietitians. These meal plans are included in your membership and are accessible through our mobile app. They are designed to provide you with the right balance of macronutrients to fuel your workouts and aid in recovery.
