Front Kicks- are a standing cardio exercise that
increase your heart rate and stretches your hamstrings
and glutes. Taken from cardio kickboxing this move provides a low-impact option with cardiovascular benefits.
The Basic squat- is a user-friendly exercise that
anyone can do. Body weight alone is always a great way to build strength and challenge your muscles. That being said, if you have moved past beginner level you can always add holding dumbbells or supporting a barbell to make the squat more effective. However, make sure you use the instructions below and practice a basic squat until you learn how to do it properly and with good range of motion. Range of motion is the key to effectiveness in this exercise. Slightly bending your knees is not truly a squat – it’s a knee bend. To be effective in having a stronger and tighter butt and legs.
Skaters- are a cardiovascular exercise
in which you perform a lateral jump to get your heart rate up, strengthen your legs and improve stability and balance. The strengthening part of this exercise is mostly focused on quads and glutes. However, an added benefit to this move is a strengthening of your medial glute- or the outer thigh. Not only is this a great area to tone, but it also improves knee strength. The cardio part of this exercise comes from the constant movement as you switch your feet back and forth.. Plank To Single Arm Reach- is a core body move that strengthens your abdominals and lower back while training your body to have better balance and stability. There are many abdominal and core body exercises available to incorporate into your fitness routine. Fitness professionals agree that practicing a plank of any variety, is going to give you the best results for strengthening your core. If you learn how to do Plank To Single Arm Reach you will not only get the best core strength move available, but excellent balance training. Balance is important at every age, but particularly as you get older.
Burpees- Might be the dread of CrossFit pros, but
they do provide a killer cardio workout in a short period of time. You do not need any equipment or a lot of space, making them a great cardio workout at home. To do a burpee, alternate between a plank position and jumping forward in the air. Make sure that your hands are flat on the ground and your back straight. In just 10 minutes, you can burn more than 100 calories. We recommend starting slow and working your way up to 10 minutes or more to avoid injury.
Another cardio workout at home that might bring
you back to your childhood is jumping jacks. Similar to burpees, doing jumping jacks for 10 minutes straight can burn around 100 calories. You can easily integrate jumping jacks into a circuit training that includes some of the other exercises on this page, such as burpees, jumping rope and squat jumps. With no equipment necessary, you can perform jumping jacks anywhere at any time. Another great cardio exercise that you can do alone or as part of a cardio circuit is squat jumps. As their name implies, you start out in a squat and then jump up, trying to get as high as possible, and then land back in the squat. It is high impact, especially on your knees, so care is needed when you are a beginner or if you are suffering a knee injury.
You do not need to head outside or hit the
treadmill to get the benefits of running; simply jogging in place in your home provides many of the same benefits. Of course, you might find it boring to run in place for an extensive length of time. That is why most people incorporate jogging in place with other exercises, such as burpees, jump ropes or strength training for a complete workout.
