I have made a list of 5 home workouts that will help busy moms to stay fit and active. All these home workouts are practical and very simple, and the best part is it saves your time traveling to the gym.
Here are some simple home workout exercises with no equipment required to incorporate into your busy schedule with kids.
1. Squat Exercise
Squats help increase core strength and lower body; it’s an effective exercise for the buttocks and legs. When performing squats, your feet should be width apart, lower your body sit back like you are sitting on a chair that is not there, and finally come back to your starting position — complete three sets of 20 reps.
2. Lunge Exercise
Lunges help promote functional movement; it’s also a practical exercise in strengthening glutes and legs. Start with your feet shoulder-width apart, take a step forward, lowering your hips towards the floor with both knees bent to an almost 90-degree angle. Your back knee should be almost to the floor but not touching the floor.
3. Plank Exercise
Planks are an effective way to target both your abdominal muscles and your whole body. Plank is adequate to make your core strength without straining your back. Start in a pushup position with your hand and toes planted on the ground, your back straight, and your core tight. Take deep breaths while doing planks. Complete 3–4 sets of 40-second holds to start.
4. Push-ups Exercise
Push-ups help in building strength in your chest muscles. Start to push up in plank position, keep your core tight, bend your elbows, and lower your body to the floor. If you can’t perform push up in good form, you can also drop down on your knees. This exercise will help you in building overall body strength.
5. Lastly, Stretching
Stretching is a good exercise for any part of the body. You can stretch your arms and back by sweeping your arms up overhead while taking deep breaths. Take some time out from your routine to stretch your arms, back, and legs.
In a recent article shared in Shape Magazine, “Stretching can lead to better posture, fewer aches and pains, greater confidence, and a cheerier outlook on life.” Stretching also increases blood flow and circulation.
