Weight loss : Home Work Out Program
Over the next pages I will show you some simple bodyweight exercises you can do to tone up, burn
fat and help lose weight.
But why bodyweight exercises?
The frantic pace of modern life means that finding time to exercise can often be hard. An overcrowded gym, can’t be bothered training outside, not enough equipment or space to do a full workout at home…. these are all genuine reasons that I hear everyday. But with bodyweight exercises:
- Little space required.
- No equipment needed.
- Can be done efficiently and effectively.
- Gets more muscles working.
- Helps burn fat, tone muscles and gain strength.
- Improve energy levels.
- Functional in relation to everyday life.
The type of bodyweight training we’re using in this program is called High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). It’s a simple format of 30-45 seconds of exercise by 6 rounds followed by an adequate rest (say 1-2 minutes). I’ve chosen exercises that will complete each other along with giving you a work out for all areas of your body. You can also combine this work out with your own training e.g. using the exercises in between doing a home gym session OR completing it after doing a group exercise class (challenging but achievable!).
