Easy Daily Exercises You Can do at Home
by Cascade Ice on September 1, 2020
When it comes to exercise, it’s important to be consistent to get results and maintain a healthy lifestyle. But exercise does NOT need to be complicated or strenuous to be effective. The best way to guarantee that you’ll be able to stick with a routine is to make small changes each day that simply put your body in motion.
Luckily, there are lots of easy at home workouts that can be done quickly, with little equipment, and with little space. We’ve compiled a quick list of simple exercises you can do anywhere – even your living room! And of course, don’t forget to hydrate each day to help give you energy to power you through your day, and your workouts. If regular water is too boring, try one of our different lines of zero-calorie, sugar-free sparkling water.
Crunches – This “mini” version of traditional sit-ups actually isolates your ab muscles for a deeper, more intentional movement. Make a goal to do 3 sets of 15 each with a small break in between.
Jumping Jacks – Raise your arms all the way up at the same time you jump up and spread your legs apart. As your arms come back down, jump with your feet coming back together. This simple movement can get your heart rate up and get your blood flowing. Strive to work your way up to a full minute of movement.
Squats – Squats are one of the most effective exercises that utilize almost all of your major muscle groups. Use a seat, bench or couch that comes up to knee height, and slowly lower down into a sitting position with your back straight. Perform two sets of 10.
Push-Ups – These are super effective, and can easily be adjusted by dropping down to your knees if needed. Let your child sit on your back for a bigger challenge!
Dips – Find a steady chair or bench and suspend yourself off the front with your arms bent behind you. Bend your elbows slowly and lower your hips toward the floor. Aim for two sets of 10 total dips.
