Home Exercises for All Ages in a Complete Workout

Short on time?…Don’t like the gym?…

Need to exercise?

You can do home exercises for a complete workout, exercising the major muscle groups of the body in 6 minutes or less. Don’t believe me? First, check out this proven philosophy:

The human body does not require 30 minutes of strength training and 30 minutes of cardio, as some trainers recommend. To lose weight. To keep muscles strong. One simple approach: have concern for muscle, perform cardiovascular exercise, and eat properly. I know you think you’ve heard it before, but the hard part, for most Americans, is doing all three consistently (doing one or two won’t cut it). I will show you how to balance all 3 components and drop weight off your body.

So let’s begin…

A great starting point is performing the home exercises below…

Nutritionally speaking, think of putting in your body what will support your muscle requirement for daily activity. Contrary to popular belief, you do not workout to burn off calories from a large-caloried meal. That’s the wrong approach. No wonder you’re spending an hour on the treadmill! Try our home exercises and you’ll see the light!

Do total body movements when you exercise for general health and strength.

What I mean by that is combining the lower body with the upper body during movement; not doing a bicep curl alone, but executing it along with a squat. This way, you get a great workout in a short amount of time.

And, who doesn’t want to save time?

Having a hard time fitting a workout into your already hectic work, family, social schedule, etc? This is your answer! DON’T work out body part by body part. Let your body reap the physical benefits of working the body’s system as a complete unit.

The Rules:

To ensure your workout is complete, fit in at least a 10 minute walk (3-5x a wk). In addition, perform stretches before and after your resistance exercises. Perform the office or home exercises in the sequence below and remember. . . breathe! Exhale during the point of most resistance, then, breathe in.

If you don’t want to purchase an affordable medicine ball to keep at your chosen location, find something weighted, e.g. a jug of juice, a book, a box, etc. Or…if you’re just starting out, use your own bodyweight. Perform one set of 8-15 repetions three days a week, depending on your condition level.

Performed by children up to the oldest of adults…

as humans our bodies NEED to be moved in the directions visually described below. EveryBODY can perform the office or home exercises to some degree. That degree will be dependent upon age, fitness level, and previous injuries. Who needs a workout video?

Follow the sequence below and build or re-gain bone mass, tone and strengthen muscles, gain confidence in movement through moving, and feel better.
