]]> Are you looking to jumpstart your day with a morning workout? Starting your day with some physical activity can provide a boost of energy and set the tone for a productive day. If that seems like something you’d like to do, here are three workouts that are perfect for the morning.

Yoga

Yoga is a great way to wake up your body and mind. Practicing yoga in the morning can help increase flexibility, improve posture, and reduce stress levels. A gentle flow or a few sun salutations can be a great way to start your day on a calm and positive note.

Cardio

A quick cardio session can get your heart rate up and provide a burst of energy to start your day. This can be a brisk walk or jog around the block, a few minutes on the stationary bike or elliptical, or even a quick dance party to your favorite upbeat tunes.

Bodyweight Reps

Bodyweight exercises such as squats, lunges, and push-ups can be done anywhere and are a great way to build strength and get your blood flowing in the morning. These exercises can be modified to suit your fitness level, and you can gradually increase the intensity as you get stronger.

]]> Country singer Carrie Underwood is in awesome shape, and she even has her own fitness app called Food52. That’s exactly why most of us are interested in finding out more about her fitness routine. Thanks to POPSUGAR, we can now work out and stay in shape with Underwood and her long-time trainer Eve Overland.

This bodyweight workout routine is very short but intense, so get ready to work hard. In only six minutes you’ll manage to activate your core and leg muscles with exercises like lunges, squats, push-ups, planks, burpees, and flutter kicks.

The best thing about this quick workout is that you don’t need any equipment to complete it. Just five minutes of free time and a yoga mat is enough to burn major calories and tone your muscles. It’s also perfect for busy people or moms who don’t have a whole hour to exercise.

The workout is suitable for all fitness levels and if you want to make it even harder you can always repeat the routine two or three times or increase the number of repetitions.

]]> Christmas is a wonderful time of year, full of joyful friends and family. Unfortunately, it’s not a great time for our fitness goals. While it is important that we take a break from our routines every now and again, it’s also vital that we don’t completely let them go. Otherwise, all that hard work we put in throughout the year can get lost in the sedentary Christmas lifestyle. So if you’re home for Christmas and can’t get to the gym, here are some effective home workouts for you to try out.

Push Ups

Bodyweight exercises can in fact be more effective at strengthening arms than lifting weights. Push-ups are one of the most common workouts for a reason. Do 3 sets of 10 daily, and enjoy the results.

Pull Ups

A very similar kind of workout to push-ups, pull-ups require you to pull yourself up on a horizontal poll or suspended surface. This uses your bodyweight to strengthen those arm muscles. Training with push-ups and pull-ups allows your arms to grow in proportion to the rest of your body. In this way, one could argue that they have a unique advantage over weight training.

Swimming

Few exercises surpass swimming for sheer effectiveness. If you swim 2-3 times a week, you will see massive changes to the power of your arms. Front crawl and breast stroke are particularly effective at working out the whole arms in conjunction with the core.

Exercise Bands

Simple, practical and effective, exercise bands allow you to work out your arms at any time and any place.

Climbing

Wall or rock climbing is very effective for strengthening the arms. It also works on your bodyweight, the same as push-ups and pull-ups do.

]]> Many people think that the most effective way to build muscle strength is to use gym machines. While they can be effective, bodyweight exercises are perhaps a superior way to develop your fitness and build up muscle strength. Here are five reasons why.

Free

A good advantage of bodyweight exercises is that you don’t have to pay for gym equipment. All you need is a healthy body and the willingness to work out.

Whole Body Workout

While gym equipment tends to target specific parts of the body, bodyweight exercises engage muscles from all over the body.

Strong Core

As you hold yourself in position, you have to use your foundational core muscles to hold yourself up. These include the abs, back, and shoulders.

Improves Agility

In contrast to gym equipment where you are generally sitting or standing in stiff positions, bodyweight exercises improve your all-round agility and fitness. This can be especially useful at priming your body for sports or acrobatics.

Enhances Balance

As you hold the positions your balance improves at the same time that the joints and ligaments strengthen. This also helps build up your agility and flexibility, transforming you into a superior sportsperson.

]]> While working out at home, we’ve become used to bodyweight exercises. But, over time our body has adapted and the exercises have gotten to easy. Besides for adding more repetitions to each set or increasing the sets or decreasing the amount of rest you take, how can you up the intensity?

Use Isometrics

Isometric exercises involve holding a static position for a set period of time. They include planks and wall sits and you can add them to any exercise to make it more challenging. Perform several reps of a movement and when you start to feel tired, hold the movement in the mid-range for 10-30 seconds.

I am my own competition! 🙅🏻‍♀️ One has to understand that everybody, rather every-body is different. When you compete against other people, you judge yourself based on their values and metrics. The problem with this is even if you win, you only do something that’s important to them, not you. One has to understand, everyone is on their own path, and we all do what’s right for ourselves, in our own time and pace! For some Yoga works, so does Zumba. Likewise, Keto works for some, intermediate fasting works for someone else but what works for others might not work for you! So rather than looking to follow others or pulling them down, plan to test your own boundaries! In the end, being a winner doesn’t mean crossing the finish line first, but giving everything you’ve got to reach your goal. 💪 . . . . #StayHome #StayFit #FitnessJourney #Workout #StrengthTraining #Plank #NigamPrernaFitness #Healthy #Fitness #FitGirls #IndianBlogger #India #DelhiBlogger #Exercise #Delhi #Workout #HomeWorkout #StrengthTraining #Training #HomeWorkout #Motivate #Inspire #Instacool #Instagram

Change the Angle

Adjusting your body position can change how much bodyweight your muscles are responsible for moving during an exercise. For pushups, increase the load on your chest by performing your reps with your feet elevated on a chair behind you or if you’re doing inverted rows, perform them from a lower anchor point so your body is closer to the floor.

Use Compound Sets

For bodyweight workouts, get a faster burn by combining two exercises back-to-back that work the same muscles group. You can do squats and then imminently do lunges.

Add Explosiveness

By introducing a plyometric element, you’re making things harder. For squats, add a jump or for push-ups, drive your body off the ground quicker.

Decrease Stability

When you’re off balance, you have to use stabilizer muscles to complete an exercise which requires more core strength. You can try to put your feet closer together while doing squats or lunges or lift one leg for pushups, planks, and deadlifts. Or you could try doing single-leg deadlifts, single-leg hip bridges, or single-arm pushups.

]]> When we think of building muscle, most of us think of slogging away at gym equipment. While weights are a good way to build muscle, there are also several advantages to the bodyweight method. Bodyweight training uses your own bodyweight to build muscle instead of lifting other objects. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of bodyweight training.

Uses the Whole Body

One big advantage of bodyweight exercise is that it uses muscles all over the body while gym equipment typically focuses on one area. In this respect, bodyweight training leads to a stronger all-around frame.

Strengthens the Core

When you support your body’s weight you have to employ your core muscles. Whether you’re suspended from a bar or lifting yourself from the ground, those foundations are always engaged and always getting stronger.

Free

One crucial advantage of bodyweight training is that it is totally free. You already have all the natural resources you need to build muscle today.

You Can Do it Anywhere

With bodyweight exercises, no gym is required and the great outdoors can become your gym. This is especially useful if you don’t like going to the gym or if you travel around a lot.

]]> Bodyweight training is one of the most accessible and cheapest ways to get into exercise. All you need is a yoga mat and a training program. Bodyweight does not mean you are working against no-weight, you are using the weight of your body for each exercise, which is great for beginners who have never worked out before.

Here are some great bodyweight exercises for you to try at home.

Tempo Air Squat

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Take a deep breath in and push your butt back and drive your knees out, lowering into a squat to the count of 3. Push through the feet to come up and squeeze the butt at the end to the count of 1.

Reverse Lunge

Stand with your feet together. Step back with your left leg in a reverse lunge, bring the foot back (without dragging it) and then repeat the movement on the other side.

View this post on Instagram

Forward Lunge 🆚 Reverse Lunge All types of #lunges work your #thighs & #butt. There is a subtle difference between the two ✅Whilst they both target the same #muscles – glutes & quads – the reverse lunge tends to hit the glutes & high hamstrings a little more & takes pressure off the knees ✅A forward Lunge can offer more of a challenge to your stabilising muscles as it requires you to shift your weight into the leg stepping out ✅Good News is they're both a quality #compoundmovement ✅KNEE INJURIES – GO FOR REVERSE LUNGES👍 Do you do both lunges❓ What are your thoughts❓ #exercise #lunges #reverselunges #quads #glutes #butt #hamstrings #knee #injury #movebetter #peaketraining #rehabilitation

Bird Dog

On your hands and knees with your core engaged extend your left arm out in front of you and straighten the right leg behind you. Controlled, bring the arm and leg back down to starting position and repeat on the other side. Make sure you keep a neutral spine by tucking your chin in.

]]> Going to the gym is a great pastime, but we can all agree that it’s not for everyone. Some people like the benefits of an at-home workout routine or just working out in the open. In that case, nothing beats a good bodyweight exercise.  

This type of exercise has many upsides since they can be performed everywhere and are pretty easy to learn. With most of them, the risk of injury is really low especially compared to weightlifting exercises, making this type of workouts really beginner-friendly.  

Finally, maybe one of the biggest upsides of bodyweight workouts is the fact that they are completely free and don’t require expensive monthly and yearly memberships. Since this type of workout has been around for a long time there is a pretty large number of different exercises that can really confuse a newbie. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz53J29h1a7/?utm_source=ig_embed

Because of that, we comprised a list of what we consider are the top 10 bodyweight workouts that everyone should try: 

  1. Pushups 
  2. Rollouts with an ab wheel  
  3. Burpees 
  4. Pull-ups  
  5. Bulgarian split squat 
  6. Squats  
  7. Planking 
  8. Slap pushups 
  9. Star planks 
  10. Dips

]]> Many people think that the most effective way to build muscle strength is to use gym machines. While they can be effective, bodyweight exercises are perhaps a superior way to develop your fitness and build up muscle strength. Here are five reasons why.

Free

A good advantage of bodyweight exercises is that you don’t have to pay for gym equipment. All you need is a healthy body and the willingness to work out.

Whole Body Workout

While gym equipment tends to target specific parts of the body, bodyweight exercises engage muscles from all over the body.

Strong Core

As you hold yourself in position, you have to use your foundational core muscles to hold yourself up. These include the abs, back, and shoulders.

Improves Agility

In contrast to gym equipment where you are generally sitting or standing in stiff positions, bodyweight exercises improve your all-round agility and fitness. This can be especially useful at priming your body for sports or acrobatics.

Enhances Balance

As you hold the positions your balance improves at the same time that the joints and ligaments strengthen. This also helps build up your agility and flexibility, transforming you into a superior sportsperson.

]]> While working out at home, we’ve become used to bodyweight exercises. But, over time our body has adapted and the exercises have gotten to easy. Besides for adding more repetitions to each set or increasing the sets or decreasing the amount of rest you take, how can you up the intensity?

Use Isometrics

Isometric exercises involve holding a static position for a set period of time. They include planks and wall sits and you can add them to any exercise to make it more challenging. Perform several reps of a movement and when you start to feel tired, hold the movement in the mid-range for 10-30 seconds.

I am my own competition! 🙅🏻‍♀️ One has to understand that everybody, rather every-body is different. When you compete against other people, you judge yourself based on their values and metrics. The problem with this is even if you win, you only do something that’s important to them, not you. One has to understand, everyone is on their own path, and we all do what’s right for ourselves, in our own time and pace! For some Yoga works, so does Zumba. Likewise, Keto works for some, intermediate fasting works for someone else but what works for others might not work for you! So rather than looking to follow others or pulling them down, plan to test your own boundaries! In the end, being a winner doesn’t mean crossing the finish line first, but giving everything you’ve got to reach your goal. 💪 . . . . #StayHome #StayFit #FitnessJourney #Workout #StrengthTraining #Plank #NigamPrernaFitness #Healthy #Fitness #FitGirls #IndianBlogger #India #DelhiBlogger #Exercise #Delhi #Workout #HomeWorkout #StrengthTraining #Training #HomeWorkout #Motivate #Inspire #Instacool #Instagram

Change the Angle

Adjusting your body position can change how much bodyweight your muscles are responsible for moving during an exercise. For pushups, increase the load on your chest by performing your reps with your feet elevated on a chair behind you or if you’re doing inverted rows, perform them from a lower anchor point so your body is closer to the floor.

Use Compound Sets

For bodyweight workouts, get a faster burn by combining two exercises back-to-back that work the same muscles group. You can do squats and then imminently do lunges.

Add Explosiveness

By introducing a plyometric element, you’re making things harder. For squats, add a jump or for push-ups, drive your body off the ground quicker.

Decrease Stability

When you’re off balance, you have to use stabilizer muscles to complete an exercise which requires more core strength. You can try to put your feet closer together while doing squats or lunges or lift one leg for pushups, planks, and deadlifts. Or you could try doing single-leg deadlifts, single-leg hip bridges, or single-arm pushups.

]]> When we think of building muscle, most of us think of slogging away at gym equipment. While weights are a good way to build muscle, there are also several advantages to the bodyweight method. Bodyweight training uses your own bodyweight to build muscle instead of lifting other objects. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of bodyweight training.

Uses the Whole Body

One big advantage of bodyweight exercise is that it uses muscles all over the body while gym equipment typically focuses on one area. In this respect, bodyweight training leads to a stronger all-around frame.

Strengthens the Core

When you support your body’s weight you have to employ your core muscles. Whether you’re suspended from a bar or lifting yourself from the ground, those foundations are always engaged and always getting stronger.

Free

One crucial advantage of bodyweight training is that it is totally free. You already have all the natural resources you need to build muscle today.

You Can Do it Anywhere

With bodyweight exercises, no gym is required and the great outdoors can become your gym. This is especially useful if you don’t like going to the gym or if you travel around a lot.

]]> Bodyweight training is one of the most accessible and cheapest ways to get into exercise. All you need is a yoga mat and a training program. Bodyweight does not mean you are working against no-weight, you are using the weight of your body for each exercise, which is great for beginners who have never worked out before.

Here are some great bodyweight exercises for you to try at home.

Tempo Air Squat

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Take a deep breath in and push your butt back and drive your knees out, lowering into a squat to the count of 3. Push through the feet to come up and squeeze the butt at the end to the count of 1.

Reverse Lunge

Stand with your feet together. Step back with your left leg in a reverse lunge, bring the foot back (without dragging it) and then repeat the movement on the other side.

Forward Lunge 🆚 Reverse Lunge All types of #lunges work your #thighs & #butt. There is a subtle difference between the two ✅Whilst they both target the same #muscles – glutes & quads – the reverse lunge tends to hit the glutes & high hamstrings a little more & takes pressure off the knees ✅A forward Lunge can offer more of a challenge to your stabilising muscles as it requires you to shift your weight into the leg stepping out ✅Good News is they're both a quality #compoundmovement ✅KNEE INJURIES – GO FOR REVERSE LUNGES👍 Do you do both lunges❓ What are your thoughts❓ #exercise #lunges #reverselunges #quads #glutes #butt #hamstrings #knee #injury #movebetter #peaketraining #rehabilitation

Bird Dog

On your hands and knees with your core engaged extend your left arm out in front of you and straighten the right leg behind you. Controlled, bring the arm and leg back down to starting position and repeat on the other side. Make sure you keep a neutral spine by tucking your chin in.

]]> Going to the gym is a great pastime, but we can all agree that it’s not for everyone. Some people like the benefits of an at-home workout routine or just working out in the open. In that case, nothing beats a good bodyweight exercise.  

This type of exercise has many upsides since they can be performed everywhere and are pretty easy to learn. With most of them, the risk of injury is really low especially compared to weightlifting exercises, making this type of workouts really beginner-friendly.  

Finally, maybe one of the biggest upsides of bodyweight workouts is the fact that they are completely free and don’t require expensive monthly and yearly memberships. Since this type of workout has been around for a long time there is a pretty large number of different exercises that can really confuse a newbie. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz53J29h1a7/?utm_source=ig_embed

Because of that, we comprised a list of what we consider are the top 10 bodyweight workouts that everyone should try: 

  1. Pushups 
  2. Rollouts with an ab wheel  
  3. Burpees 
  4. Pull-ups  
  5. Bulgarian split squat 
  6. Squats  
  7. Planking 
  8. Slap pushups 
  9. Star planks 
  10. Dips
