You can always do sit-ups and push-ups. You could do jumping jacks, yoga, and pilates. You could also buy a home gym, like a Bowflex, which you can rent instead of buy.
1. Cardio exercise – which works on your heart and lungs so you’ve fit and strong heart & lungs and have lower risk of heart & lung diseases.
It also speeds up your metabolism so you’ve higher fat-burning capacity, to burn off fat (and excess fat) in your body, to lose weight (if you’re bent on losing weight, that is….)
2. Weight training – which promotes muscle growth. Since muscle is metabolically active (meaning it burns calories even when you’re at a rest state).
The more muscle you’ve, the higher your metabolism and the more calories you burn.
By the way, having muscle doesn’t mean you’ve all those bulky muscles like the body builder…..This is lean muscle mass that pack into your body to make you look sleek, slim and compact as muscle is dense and takes up less space.
Make sure keep your body moving to get some cardio in as well – trying putting on your favorite music and racing through your chores or cleaning or jogging in place. Using household items such as soup cans instead of weights or doing tricep dips on kitchen chairs makes it easy and almost like a game to see where you can fit in exercises.
