It doesn’t matter where you work out, as long as you do it. Here, some tips for tuning your home into a gym. Try for three sets of ten repetitions unless otherwise noted.
Water-weights: Fill empty plastic bottles with water to a weight that you can handle. Do biceps curls, shoulder raises and other arm-slimming moves.
Pull up a chair: Sit on the edge of a sturdy kitchen chair with your hands on the edge of the seat. To strengthen triceps, move forwards and lower yourself with your arms, bending at the elbows. Then stand up in front of the chair and do squats (be sure not to sit completely) for hamstrings and quads.
Ottoman action: To firm your buttocks, lie on the floor and place calves on an ottoman/foot stool. Lift your hips off the floor while squeezing your buttocks together.
Become a stair master: Walk up and down the stairs eight to ten minutes to increase heart rate.
Make a deal: Take 15 playing cards and place them in a pile in front of you. To strengthen legs, lunge towards each card, right foot in front, to pick it up. Repeat with left leg. Repeat whole exercise.
Have a ball: Sit up, feet on the floor, knees bent at a 45 degree angle, and lean back slightly. Hold a foot ball in front of you and move it from side to side, rotating your torso, no target your obliques. Next, lie down, knees bent. Place the ball between your knees and squeeze, to work your inner thighs.
