If you are like me, you may prefer to exercise at home rather than belonging to a health club or gym. And, there are many exercises that you can perform at home to keep yourself healthy and fit.
If you have the room and money, you could purchase equipment for less than $1000 like the Weider Home Gym. But, you can also get a good workout at home using things that you may already have or you can purchase some inexpensive dumbbells and exercise bars that fit in your door frame.
Here at some examples using a folding chair. A sturdy coffee table or an inexpensive exercise bench would also work:
- Toe Stands to work those calf muscles
- Concentration Curls for your biceps
- Reverse Fly for your upper back muscles
- Single Arm Row
- Overhead Press
- Triceps Extension
- Kickbacks
- Hamstring Stretch
- Neck Lateral Flexion
- Triceps Stretch
- Quadriceps Stretch
- Hamstring Bench Curls
- Hamstring Standing Curls
- Heel Stands
- Hip Flexions
- Step Ups
- Dips for your triceps
Of course, most of the Core Exercises can be done on the floor or on an exercise mat.
And the Captain's Chair Abdominal Exercise can be done using an inexpensive exercise bar with ab straps as illustrated at Captain's Chair Ab Workout Alternative.
