5 Great In-Home Exercises

As much as I enjoy my gym workouts, there are times when I just can’t get there and with two small children, I can’t always get out for a run around the neighborhood.

Here are a few of my favorite exercises to do at home:

1.  Jumping rope – great for getting the heart rate up and great for lower leg muscles.

2.  Crunches – two sets of 25; make sure to suck in ab muscles for optimal results.

3.  Push-ups – they may be old-fashion but they get the job done; 3 sets of 10.

4.  Standing lunges – 15 per leg

5.  High-energy yoga – 30 to 60 mins will provide a good amount of both strength and flexibility training

Don’t forgo exercising just because you can’t make it to the gym – even as little as 20 mins of in-home exercising is better than nothing!
