By Rosetta Drake


People today are becoming more conscious about their health. Everyone is trying to get more fit by exercising and going to the gym regularly. If you want to stay fit as well, you can also do the same without leaving your house. There are various types of in home workouts you can do by yourself.

Your home is also a great place to exercise and get fit. If you want to be alone when doing routines, staying inside the house is a great idea. You may or may not have equipment but the important thing is that you exercise regularly. As this involves your fitness, only you have the control. You can reach your goals if you have the discipline and will.

One kind of exercise you can do is a push up. This one is an oldie but a goodie. You can exercise your arms and muscles by a few on the floor depending on how much your body is capable of. The intensity can be modified by changing hand placements on the floor. There is also the bent knee push up which is a good option if the full push up is hard for you.

Crunches are also very common exercises. These can strengthen abdominal muscles and make this area firm. When doing crunches, you do not have to hurry yourself in getting your head up. Your muscles need a bit of time to stretch until you can fully raise your head. Reverse crunches can also be done lying on your back.

Squat jumps are also great to exercise the whole body and your heart. These focus on total body movement as you jump and lower your body repeatedly. You can exercise your legs, knees, and buttocks on this one. If you want to focus on your legs, there is the forward lunge. This exercises your thighs and knees.

Walking is also a kind of exercise that people often forget as it happens naturally. It may not seem like it but you are exercising when you walk in the house or when you down or up the stairs. Another simple routine you can do is to jog in place. You can watch your favorite TV show or listen to music while doing this.

If you have a set of equipment for personal use, now is a good time to let them out. You can also buy some equipment that can be used at home. Some commonly personal exercise equipment are dumbbells and treadmills. Dumbbells are used to increase muscle strength. A treadmill also lets you run in place for several minutes.

At present, you can find numerous exercise videos to use. There are a lot of exercise DVDs which are becoming very popular among fitness buffs. An instructor on screen can show you the routines and you can follow along. You can also access videos online and choose routines that are easy for your level.

It would be good if you can start early with your in home workouts. The sooner you start, the more time you have to make improvements. You can go a long way if you start early. When doing exercises, you also have to remember that this is better combined with healthy eating and a change in lifestyle.
