Fitness trends are constantly changing.
Since the covid pandemic started the state of fitness has seen a shift to more home based fitness approaches. The pandemic taught us that there is no need to fork out money for gym subscriptions to achieve your goals as there are plenty of ways to achieve your summer body at the comfort of your own home.
A great way to make use of home based workouts is by following along to a youtube workout tutorial. It can be quite daunting to choose a workout tutorial that suits your needs as there are so many different workout choices which cater to all fitness levels. If you are simply starting out or perhaps getting back into working out you could start with low impact workouts. There are many low impact workouts for beginners that vary to specific needs whether you are looking to target a specific area such as abs, arms or legs or whether you are looking for a full body workout.
If you do not own a fitness mat you could make use of some towels or alternatively you could search for standing workouts. The great thing about home based workouts is that all you need to do is show up and follow along to a tutorial of your choice. You could also add your favourite music to keep you motivated and add some fun into your workout.
The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) states that regular physical activity is the most important thing we can do for our health and one of the ways we can start is by walking. Now walking could mean going out for a stroll or deciding to use the stairs instead of the elevator but you could also walk in the comfort of your own home. Youtube channel Growth provides weekly tutorials that include walking exercises that anyone is able to follow along to. This is a great low intensity exercise training to do on the spot.
Another great way to stay on top of your fitness goals is by buying a jumping rope. Jumping ropes are inexpensive and a great way to improve your cardio and endurance levels if you are unable to go for a run. This is a high intensity workout that you are able to do in a matter of minutes and it is a great way to add some fun into your workout
