At home work out

This week on fit with chris I would like to talk about a work out that you can do at home. So many people say that they do not have time to go to the gym and in a way that is true. Something that you will learn early on is you will never find time to go to the gym, you need to make time. To get a decent work out you do not need a fancy gym or lots of weights or even a treadmill. All you need is the proper knowledge of different exercises and the drive to make time to do them.

                Before you start you always stretch, 10 minutes of stretching is better than 10 weeks recovering from a pulled muscle. After stretching it is good to get blood pumping so start with doing burpees. You start by dropping down and doing a pushup and then get up and reach above your head and jump. Do these consistently for a minute, or as close to a minute as you can for five minutes resting for 10 to 15 seconds in between minute sets. This should help you get pumped up and ready for more exercise.

                You can then move into doing five to six sets of 25 to 50 repetitions (reps) of classic pushups. Make sure that your form is good and your back is straight when you go down and come back up. After doing those sets you can move to doing diamond pushups. With these you bring your hands close together touching your thumbs and go down and up like a pushup. This will work more of your triceps then your chest. If you are not able to do these then try just sliding your hands a little farther apart till you can and over time work up to the proper form. Just like the pushups try to do five to six sets of 25 to 50 reps focusing on form.

                Legs are the next step in this home work out. Start out with doing goblin squats, no weights. Goblin squats are very similar to normal squats but you usually hold a dumbbell up by your chest with both hands for extra weight. Try to do four or five sets of 20 to 25 reps and focus on going down to the point when your thighs are parallel to the floor. The next thing to do is Donkey kicks, you kneel on the floor and kick back on leg at a time working your glutes or butt. Do four sets of 20 reps on each leg, make sure you feel that squeeze when you lift your leg up.

                And the finisher for this at home work out is doing lunges. Give yourself plenty of space and room so that you are able to do 10 to 15 lunges in a row. Do this four to five times or until you are unable to do a lunge, it is up to you. That’s it for this week’s fit with chris. Thank you for reading and please feel free to comment below. Stay tune for next week’ fit with chris post.
