so you want to start working out but you
don't want to leave the house no problem
in this video we show you the top 10
exercises to get fit at home with all
the pros and cons we didn't include
exercises that require equipment besides
your own Furniture so bye-bye
pull-ups also make sure to watch the
video Until the End because we included
a full body workout routine with these
exercises all right let's start with the
first exercise jumping J Jack jumping
jacks are a full body movement with a
strong focus on coordination and
endurance depending on your goals and
level you can do it as a part of your
warmup or in your regular training there
are also different versions to vary The
Challenge and difficulty of this
exercise the next exercise are pike
walks this exercise is great for working
your shoulders and core and also builds
the foundation for any upcoming
handstand
training to work yourself up start doing
them on the ground and place your feet
higher when you get comfortable with the
movement don't worry if you can't open
your shoulders in the beginning it's not
a problem and will get better over
time if tight hamstrings are a limiting
factor for you it's also possible to do
it with bent knees
the third exercise are push-ups and of
course this is a
no-brainer push-ups belong in every
serious body weight training program and
are crucial to train your chest
shoulders and
triceps there are so many ways and
progressions to do them that they are
suitable for
beginners
intermediates and experts
the next exercise on our list are side
plank raises this exercise is great to
Target the often neglected obliques and
also use your hip abductors and
adductors to support the movement as a
beginner try them on your knees first
and progress to the regular version
later you can do this exercise on your
forearm or on your
hand and you can switch the placement of
your
[Music]
legs next we got knee raises this
exercise combines abdominal with support
strength work which mostly targets your
triceps shoulders and the lower traps
it's best done with two chairs because
it gives you enough space to move your
legs up and down sure you can also do it
on the ground but this requires way more
Mobility and strength so if you can't
lift up your body at all use two books
with the same height to slightly
increase the distance between your butt
and the
ground if you still can't do it just
push your arms into the ground and do
the knee rise without lifting your
butt the sixth exercise are row and here
you need some kind of
furniture there are many different
options and ways to do this exercise
but always make sure to avoid
unnecessary risks and put safety
first if you got the right Furniture
this exercise is a must do because rows
are a great if not the most
comprehensive back exercise with
benefits for your arms as
well if you got no options to do rows
you could try rear dead presses on the
ground if they are too hard you should
stick to the next exercise which are
swimmers swimmers Target your back as
well with the exception of the lats it's
still a great exercise to not only work
your back but also the glutes and
hamstrings to some
degree in addition it also has some
benefits for your posture by
counteracting against the typical
hunched over Desk position
if you got a desk job or just there at a
monitor all day in general you could
also benefit from this modified swimmer
version just do it as a short break in
between your work to com at your desk
job
posture the next exercise is the easy or
reverse plank
Bridge similar to swimmers it nearly
Works your entire posterior chain so the
backside of your body in addition it
also improves your shoulder Mobility by
stretching the pecs biceps and front
delts if you are a beginner don't worry
if you can't raise yourself up to a
complete horizontal position this
exercise is still effective with a
decreased range of motion and if you're
doing it regularly you will work
yourself up step by
step next we got squats similar to
push-ups this is a must do exercise with
too many benefits to
neglect squats are not only working your
quads glutes and hamstrings but also
improve your ankle hip and spine
Mobility if regular squats are too easy
just try jumping
squats or pistols
the last exercise on our list are lunges
similar to squats they hit your quads
hams and glutes the special thing about
lunges is that they are a unilateral
movement focusing on one leg at a time
this not only helps you to work against
imbalances but also develops
coordination and
stability if regular lunges are too easy
try jumping lunges or even Bulgarian
split squats yeah I know they are called
squats but in fact they are much closer
to a lunge
movement okay now we show you some
honorable manions that are also very
good but couldn't make it in the top 10
remember these are absolutely valid
exercises and some may even be better
when it comes to targeting specific
muscles but for the top 10 we chose the
most comprehensive multi-joint movements
and not isolation exercises in the first
place it's still a good idea to vary
your workouts from time to time so these
will have a place in a long-term workout
program or if you want to work on
specific weak
