Let’s Workout- At Home Workouts

Now, is definitely not the time to start giving up on yourself and the healthy you that you worked so hard for. It’s time to buckle down and continue to give it your all despite not having the gym or workout classes that you are used to having. It’s really unfortunate situation and time we are in, however let’s use our resources (technology) wisely and keep getting that sweat on.

Getting a sweat and workout on doesn’t have to be hard. You don’t have to go for a run, bike or do your stereotypical cardio just to maintain or loose weight. In face diversifying your workouts and adding weights and different body weight exercises in to your daily routines helps so much!

Benefits of Exercise

• Boosts your mood
• Keeps you healthy
• Boosts your energy
• Helps with weight management
• Can help protect against certain health conditions

There are so many more benefits to exercise than listed here, but since the list could go on for days these are the 5 I will stick with. I can hear numerous of you saying, “I understand it’s beneficial Jessica, but I don’t have the resources.” Let me tell you; you do. All you need is your body; no equipment required.

Exercise Programs & Apps

• Nike Training: A fabulous app that I have had for years. There are numerous workouts that are free. They do have a premium version, which is free to use right now. Even without the free premium I would recommend this app. I have found it perfect when I am on the road traveling or we are staying with family.
• Peloton: I personally haven’t tried this app, but numerous of my family members have. Peloton is offering their classes for free right now. My sister actually has sworn by them. She says she has woken up sore most days from the workouts.

Additional Ideas

• Pinterest: All you have to do is search for exercise or even fitness on Pinterest and numerous exercises pull up. Better yet, you want abdominal exercises, type that in. The search options are endless.
• Make Your Own: I have started making my own at home workouts. To keep myself accountable I have written these workouts, out. My motivation and ideas for the workouts have come from working out over the years and Pinterest as well.
• Get Outside: Take a run in the park, ride your bike around the block, go for a walk. You not only are doing yourself good by working out, but the sunshine and fresh air is good for your physical and mental health.

Working Out

Working out doesn’t have to be hard or cost boat loads of money. Staying healthy and being fit isn’t just for some; it’s for all. Invest in yourself and your health, both mental and physical. Take the time for you and I promise you won’t regret it.
