Workout you can do at home

It's can sometimes be really difficult to find motivation to workout at home by yourself and you can offer wonder if there is any point if you don't have any weights or workout equipment. I'm here to tell you that you can still build up a sweat and get your heart rate up without fancy equipment. There are many things that can be used around the house to make the exercises a little bit harder. Bottles of water or cans of tomatoes can be used for weights or even a child if they want to help you out with your workout, mine always does. 

Today's workout we will start with 5 minutes of brisk walking followed by 5 different exercises completed for a 40 seconds each time with a 20 second break in between each exercise and going for 4 rounds (20 minutes all up), then a 5 minute cool down walk (30 minutes all up)

Exercises are:
Push ups - these can be done on your knees, toes or if you are just starting out even against the wall



Renegade rows - I am using weights in these pictures but you could use tins or jars from your cupboard



Jump squats - imagine getting your bum down on a chair and jumping high into the air. This exercise should give you a nice burn in your legs 



Bicycles - this is a great core exercise and you will quickly feel the burn. Make sure to keep your feet from touching the ground as you complete the exercise. Try not to strain your neck throughout this exercise



Toe reaches - In this picture I am using a 10kg weight but you don't need to use a weight at all or could substitute for a bottle of water or anything you have lying around the house to add an extra little bit of weight. Make sure to keep your arms and legs as straight as possible throughout the exercise
