No Gym Required: How to Get Fit at Home
These workout tips can help burn calories and build muscle without the need for heavy dumbbells or cardio machines
According to one report, 80% of people aren’t getting enough exercise for optimal health. The main reason being lack of time, which 42% of people say is their primary reason for failing to exercise. Life can undoubtedly be hectic, which can understandably make it hard to find time to workout, and when you add the COVID-19 pandemic into the mix, more people are avoiding the gym than ever before.
But who says you need bulky exercise machines, heavy dumbbells, and fancy cardio treadmills to get in shape?
Although using gym equipment has its advantages, it isn’t required for you to get into shape or stay fit. At-home workouts can be just as effective in scorching calories, burning fat, and building muscle — and have several advantages over going to the gym, which includes:
- No monthly gym fees. You save money.
- Saves you time by eliminating travel to and from the gym.
- Convenience — you can workout at any time when you feel like it.
- Easier to do — exercise machines at the gym can be confusing and also intimidating.
