We all wish we were a bit better in shape and that we had more time to dedicate to exercise, but it isn\u2019t always possible to get out to a gym and really work hard. In this time of 9 to 5 days and Netflix, it\u2019s hard to find the time to get some exercise done, so what\u2019s a good way of getting your daily workout? Sometimes all you need is the equipment at home so you can do some light work when you have a free half-hour to spend! Here\u2019s some good, lightweight, space-friendly options to keep in mind when you\u2019re looking for exercise gear for around the house.<\/p>\n
A couple of pounds is all you need here \u2013 having a set of two- to five-pound weights lying around your house will make everything from running in place to squats just a bit harder, so you\u2019ll be able to get a better workout on your own. Not only that, using light weights while running up stairs or doing yoga will really push you hard and give you a great workout no matter where you are.<\/p>\n
While not the best idea if you want your neighbours to like you (unless you live in a ground-suite!) walking outside to a secluded area and jumping rope for five or t10 minutes is a fantastic way to keep your cardio health up! Instead of jogging for 30 minutes, you can decide to really work hard and jump rope \u2013 there\u2019s a reason boxers and athletes leverage the jump rope so much!<\/p>\n
Easily packed away and easily set up, resistance bands usually come with a list of great workouts to build your strength up, and they\u2019re remarkably simple to use. Most bands come with a door-stopper that loops around the bands and wedges into your door, so you can do all the exercises you\u2019d ever want to right in front of the TV!<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking to develop your stomach muscles and core strength, this is one of the best ways to do it. When you\u2019re looking at gear in terms of efficacy and space saved, an ab wheel is one of the best devices you can think of \u2013 easily stored in any closet or under a couch, this piece of gear will really do a number on your stomach and give you a great workout in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
