This at-home cardio workout will challenge you while offering the convenience of getting your daily aerobic exercise without leaving the house!
Aren’t we blessed that we have so many options for working out at home?
Whether it be fitness websites, YouTube videos, DVDs, TikTok shorts, and if you are like me, you may even have a VHS player that still works.
There are so many benefits to working out at home that I want to list them:
- Being able to choose the time that works best for you (no schedule).
- Working at your own pace without judgment.
- Choosing the format, length, and intensity of your workout
- No worries of outfits to wear, just what is comfortable for you.
- Eliminating travel time to and from the gym.
- Money saved on gym memberships as well as gas to the facility.
- You can take it with you on vacations and travel.
- Being able to use your own equipment rather than having to pack it up and carry it to the gym.
If you are working out at home, here is a list of tips to make your workout successful.
1. Do your best to use proper form per the instructor and never work in pain.
2. Try to avoid distractions so you can achieve the recommended time for your session, aiming for 20 to 30 minutes of aerobics most days, 15 to 20 minutes approximately for weight-bearing exercises twice a week, and 20 to 40 minutes for stretching–not necessarily all of these in one day.
3. Don’t overdo it. Staying strong and healthy is not a race but more a marathon. Consistency is key.
4. Don’t let it become a job! Look for routines and music that you enjoy and be sure to give yourself a day or two off to rebuild and reset.
5. Mix it up to avoid boredom and to challenge your muscles as well as stimulate the brain.
