Working out at home has become increasingly popular, and it’s easy to see why. With busy schedules, traveling to and from a gym can be time-consuming and inconvenient. Fortunately, there are numerous simple and effective exercises you can do in the comfort of your own home, requiring minimal equipment.

A great place to start is with bodyweight exercises. These are exercises that use your own body weight as resistance, and they can be incredibly versatile and adaptable. Squats, for example, are a fantastic lower-body workout that targets your quads, hamstrings, and glutes. Start with your feet hip-width apart and lower down as if you were about to sit back in a chair. Keep your knees over your ankles, and press back up through your heels. For an added challenge, try doing squat pulses, where you hold a squat position and pulse up and down a few inches.

Lunges are another excellent lower-body exercise. Take a big step forward with one foot, bend both knees, and lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the floor. Make sure your knee doesn’t extend past your toes, and keep your torso upright. You can also try reverse lunges, where you step backward instead of forward, or add a twist by holding your arms out to the sides and twisting your upper body from side to side as you lunge.

Planks are a highly effective exercise to target your core. Get into a push-up position, but instead of lowering your body, hold your body in a straight line, resting on your forearms. Engage your core and glutes to stabilize your body, and remember to breathe! For an easier modification, you can rest on your knees instead of your feet.

Push-ups are a classic exercise that work your arms, chest, and shoulders. Start in a plank position and lower your body until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle, then push back up. If you’re a beginner, you can modify the exercise by resting on your knees instead of your toes. For an added challenge, try clapping your hands between each rep or doing a decline push-up, where your feet are elevated on a chair or step.

Don’t forget to work your back! One simple exercise is the wall angel. Stand with your back against a wall, and move your arms so your elbows are at shoulder height and your forearms are resting against the wall in a “W” position. Keeping your forearms and back of your hands against the wall, slide your arms up overhead, bringing your biceps by your ears, then back down into the “W” position.

To work your triceps, try dips. Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight out in front of you, then bend your knees and place your palms on the floor behind you, with your fingers facing forward. Straighten your arms to lift your body off the floor, then bend your elbows to lower yourself back down. If this is too challenging, start in a modified position with your feet flat on the floor in front of you.

Lastly, make sure to incorporate some cardio into your at-home workouts. Jumping jacks are a classic cardio exercise – simply jump and spread your legs and arms out to the sides, then jump back to the starting position. Try doing these for 30 seconds, then resting for 30 seconds, and repeat for a total of 10 minutes.
