1. Too Late to Go to the Gym?

Then work out at home and use items to add additional weighted resistance to your routines. For example, books in a backpack serve as a great practical way to add weight to your squats. Water-filled laundry detergent containers work well as a substitute for a kettlebell, and a towel on a hard surface works well in place of sliding disks. Adding weight to your routine helps you build lean muscle, which is great for a toned look and good for boosting your metabolism.

2. Boost Your Angles

Changing the angle of an exercise can help to place additional stress on targeted muscles. As an example, performing a push-up with your feet elevated places more stress on the chest muscles. The same is true for making exercises easier for beginners: doing a push-up using a table or placing hands on a wall to keep the feet below the chest will reduce the gravity and make an exercise easier.

3. Try Free, Online Workouts

Performing exercise in combination with balanced nutrition will improve your overall sense of wellbeing, improve your body composition, and positively impact your body confidence. Workout for free online and give yourself the flexibility to fit in fitness when it is most convenient.

4. Listen To New Music

There’s nothing quite like fun, new music to give you that boost to get off the couch, run that extra mile, or push through a heavy lifting session. Download new tunes, trade playlists with a friend, or reshuffle your existing library to keep your workouts interesting.

5. Try Mini Stretch Bands

Inexpensive mini stretch bands, which come in various resistance levels, can be your best buddy for warming up hips, glutes, shoulders, and back, or use them for a fast and effective resistance routine.

6. Jump Rope

Jumping rope is a good old-fashioned way to warm up and get your heart rate going. Warming up for 10 minutes can also help prevent injury. You can use an interval-style training method and use your jump rope for your entire routine.
