Exercises You Can Do Inside Your House

You probably don’t realize how much exercise you do at home everyday. When you walk up and down your stairs, clean, or just do regular houshold chores, you’re exercising.

Here are 10 other exercises you can do at home as well. These exercises focus on specific muscle groups and they will help you achieve your exercise goals.

Do an abs or cardiovascular workout to a DVD.
Do curls by lying on your back, putting your hands behind your head, and raising your upper body.
Do leg exercises by standing while holding on to the back of a chair or lying down on your side and lifting each leg for a number of repetitions.
If you sit for hours at a computer desk, press down on your toes in an up and down motion to keep the circulation flowing in your legs.
Do stretching exercises. Stand with both hands against a wall and move your right leg back so that your foot is flat against the floor. Hold for a few seconds; then repeat with the left leg.
Do arm exercises to improve muscle tone. Use an exercise band and place both feet on one end and with each hand raise and lower the band; first with your palms up then down.
Put on a CD and dance for about 20-30 minutes. This is a great cardiovascular workout.
Use 5 or 10 lbs. weights to exercise your arms. You can even do this exercise sitting in a chair.
