  • No equipment? No problem!

    No equipment? No problem!

    While everyone is still advised to stay at home, working out can be a challenge especially for fitness enthusiasts, (and couch potatoes), who need to stretch those muscles but has no equipment.

    For others, buying online can be a great option but, honestly, having these tools can be heavy on the budget. So, why not try these easy, no equipment workouts to get you moving and sweating?

    Sante Fitness Lab (SFL), a premier one-stop fitness center that offers holistic training programs, lists five clever ways you can turn your home space into a homemade gym that you can do every day and squeeze in your tight schedule.

    Stair Cardio

    This is an obvious one. When you’re at home, some house chores end being procrastinated since walking up and down the stairs can be bothersome, but it is the chance for people at home to get back on track with their cardio workouts. So, get your heart pumping and walk or run up and down the stairs, and get your cardio back on track.

    Work With Space You Have

    People tend to overcomplicate getting fit and think that the only to workout is with treadmills, workout benches, and other gym equipment. Sometimes, however, all you need is enough space to do simple workouts.

    Bodyweight workouts are some of the best routines you can do at home since it only needs your bodyweight. Push-ups, sit-ups, squats, and plenty more workouts are available for you to do with only enough space.

    Weights In Disguise

    Don’t single out barbells and dumbbells as the only weights to help you get buff, because there are plenty of other perfect alternatives for it.

    For instance, a 2-gallon water bottle is equivalent to a 17-pound dumbbell making it perfect for an arm workout. So, don’t pass up the chance to lift heavy sacks of rice or packs of groceries and get the strength workouts you need.

    Find Your Balance in the Bedroom

    Did you know that you can also use your bed for yoga? Your bed has enough space and good cushioning, just like your mat, making it perfect for yoga. The springs in the mattress can make it harder to balance but, that adds a little challenge to the routine.

    The Workout Chair

    Your chair can also help you in working out at home. You can do lower body moves like step-ups, Bulgarian split squats, and, if you’re feeling brave, box jumps. These workouts are best executed using a bench or a simple chair at home.

    For the upper body, you can do core moves like v-sits, chair dips, or seated shoulder press using your bench. Don’t forget to grab your two-gallon water bottle as your weights.

    Take It to the Next Level

    If you want to have an even better approach for your home workout, try SFL’s “Live More, Do More 30-Day Program,” a total wellness solution that features an expertly designed athletic training-inspired fitness program plus the immune-system boosting benefits of Sante Pure Barley.

    The program lives up to SFL’s mission to help everyone become Champions In Life starting with adopting the right fitness regimen and proper nutrition.
