=========================
It's easy to see why many individuals would be interested
in home exercise routines. You can get great results
exercising at home, as long as you know what you are doing.
All it takes to get results at home is an exercise mat,
some free weights (dumbbells) and exercise tubings. Even if
you don't have all these tools, there are several exercises
you can do around the house. You can always try exercises
that use your own body weight. The secret to success is to
exercise the right way without hurting yourself.
At home, you can train at your own time. You are unaffected
by the timings of your gym or your trainer. This is an
excellent solution for stay-at-home moms, individuals who
work from home, and individuals with an erratic work
schedule. It's nice not to have to pay for a gym membership.
Personally, I enjoy exercising at home, because that's how
I started. It's fun and convenient. I have a treadmill that
faces a large TV, some dumbbells and a never-say-die
attitude. That's all it takes. With the number of tools
available today, it is simple to set up a gym atmosphere in
the comforts of your own home. I train most of my clients
in their own home. To get results at home, you need
self-motivation and discipline, since you are going to be
on your own. It's not as hard as you think and can be
enjoyable and beneficial. When you are committed mentally
to pursue a leaner, energized and dynamic fitness level,
changes happen much faster.
There are some reasons that home exercise can fail. It's
likely your hectic schedule or a long commute discourages
you from exercise. Sometimes, an individual can get
intimidated by the social atmosphere of a health club.
After all, if a club is a place where people flirt more and
exercise less, you might find yourself less inclined to go!
It could also be crowded, and many people do not like
waiting in line for the equipment. With home exercise,
there is not waiting period. Despite the popularity of
health clubs, many individuals are now exercising at home.
In fact, the Journal of the American Medical Association
reported a study conducted by Stanford University. The
study said exercising at home is just as beneficial as
working out at a health club. Interestingly, the study also
found people who trained at home were more likely to stick
with their program than those who exercised at a club.
The advantages of working out at home include convenience,
cost effectiveness and control over the atmosphere and
timing. You don't have to wait in line for any equipment,
and can pace yourself. There is no fear of embarrassment,
or feeling of incompetence On the other hand, there may be
some minor drawbacks to home exercise. Working out in
solitude may affect your long-term compliance, it's easy to
get distracted, bored or lackluster in your efforts. If you
follow the same routine for each and every workout, chances
are you will give up at some point. The body adjusts to an
exercise routine very quickly. It's important to change up
your routine every 3-4 weeks. If you don't know what you
are doing, you may get injured.
Strength Training Exercises At Home For The Upper Body and
Abdominals.
For best results, warm up for 10-15 minutes with light
aerobic exercise (walking, cycling, jogging). Deep
breathing and stretching for 3-5 minutes before you begin
strength training helps the muscles relax and rejuvenate.
The following exercises do not require any equipment, other
than a pair of dumbbells. This is a unique method that I
have developed on my own, and it has helped thousands of
clients get results.
Push-ups, seated rows, triceps dips, shoulder raises,
overhead shoulder presses, lateral shoulder raises, biceps
curls, regular abdominal crunches. reverse abdominal
crunches, standing trunk twists.
