Anyone doing at home workouts?

[drake_designer]

Yeah, i'm following this routine by a famous fitness Youtuber plus doing the 30 days baby shark abs challenge. I miss going to GYM though.

 

[John4life2017]

Burpees and streches

 

[FrostPepe]

ive been doing 20min or 30min HIIT workouts while following someone on youtube. It also helps that I have resistance bands too

 

[alonelywriter]

400 cals per day Running straight 30 mins

Its hard But i am maintaining it to lose that belly fcking fat

 

[t2van]

1) warn ups 2) burpees 3) push ups 4) lunges 5) squats 6) dips 7)stick to wall and go down in squat position do 3 - 5 sets

nice routine I think more a beginner one would be (just my opinion)

1. Warm up.

2. Squat

3. Jumping Squat

4. Squat & Drop to press up

5. Press Up

6. Sit Up.

Back to 2 - 6

3 sets of 5.

@knopper if you want to start - at times like these you just need to keep active and consume a little less. Also important to work out a routine / time table as when stuck at home once you get used to sitting on that sofa it's over!

Sadly you can't just target belly fat! Running is no doubt one of the best cardio work outs there is, but you can't hit one zone like that to remove fat.

It all depends on how big you are and the size of your belly. If that's where you carry most of your load you will see some gains after a few weeks but then performance slows as well as weight loss and this tends to make people stop. This is where you need to vary what your doing and push through that wall. It happens around 3-6 week mark right at the time you start to enjoying what your doing and it becomes a habit and that's why it's so easy to break.

IF you want to try and target an area (I'm not saying this works) but your going to be better off trying to develop a muscle group in that area while trying to burn the weight.

There are so many things how you can train at home without any gym equipment.

Along with running for straight 30 minutes

I do 10 belly crunches.

And yes i am enjoying it .. simple reason is because i sweat and it makes me feel I am achieving something.. even if it is only sweat,

My coach, mentor and friend used to say if you ain't sweating you aint working As long as your active and consume a little less you will get somewhere.

Hers an idea.

Do your 10 crunches today, make a note and tomorrow try and beat it by 1 or 2 and keep going. After a month when I first started doing that I got uptown 100 and noticed some big gains in my stamina.

Before you know it you will be doing 1000+ at a time

Remember though the key to training is to go at with 80% power and effort. It's best to train and hold back to train every day than go 100% and be bed bound for 3 days! Good luck

I kinda feel shitty now that I’ve successfully missed a gym session for 7 consecutive days. I’ve got the dumbbells but no barbells. I also don’t have a bench.

I got a bar where I can do some pull ups but anyone have an alternative for a bench press that doesn’t include stacking my weights into a backpack and then doing weighted push ups?

Ps. Here’s a niche for you. I’m in about 6000 different Facebook groups across a few niches and people are trying to push the “subscribe for an at home workout program” deal to a bunch of old people and it’s working out great for them. If someone here is doing this and I just revealed your stuff, I’m sorry.

I used to do push ups against the counter/worktop in the kitchen when I had a bad back leaning in at it from a fair angle away they were quite good always give my chest a good working over.

Changing your angle and distance from the counter or narrowing and widening your hand positions was good for variation.

Luckily for me I stupidly accepted a second hand bowflex Xtreme se2 from a friend about a year ago and about 4 months ago purchased 160kg plates, a bench with preacher attachment, barbell, dumbbells, ez curl bar and hammer curl bar so I'm pretty good if this lockdown gets more severe in the UK.

I already feel like I've had the virus myself too only I'll never know unless it was just a flu and I actually get the real virus or we get the test to check if we've had it.

 

[HustleTong]

Just pushups and HIIT.

 

[ENOVATIT]

Try One hand slow push up

 

[Rachmaninoff]

I have a treadmill at home, so I do running like there's no tomorrow since the pandemic. After that, I do squats, lunges, mountain climber, and jumping jacks.

If you like running and squats.. try foot fires?

 

[imanseptian]

You have to stay healthy in this situation. That's why work out is important.

Anyway, thanks for the niche.

ah Ok off the top of my head..

Dumbbell Floor Press
Overhead Tricep Extension
Chest Flyes - on the floor start 2inches up off the ground or there about
Shoulder Dumbell press standing - legs shoulder width apart
Lateral Raises
Rows off a single dining chair - I used to love these before I had a bench it's simple and takes zero extra equipment!
Front raises
Shrugs
Curls
Squat / Single Step Squat / Walking Squat (any squat)

none of the above require a bench!

One we get the guys to do in the gym was squat on the floor or as low as you can go and hold that position. Hold 10kg dumb bells over your head and walk (while in squat) from one side of the room to the other. On the way back you hold your arms out to the side.

It was more of a punishment when people kept dropping arms or complained about being tired!

Update : I did this today and my body’s spent. Not sure if I was supposed to do all of it the same day but that’s how I did it.

Cheers once more.

No don't do it all in one go.

Pick a few work outs (read up on them and pick ones that are in similar muscle groups - most will be the same) so keep similar movements grouped.

Then pick out sets 2 x 10 or 3 x 5

Then the next day pick the next set it's the different range of movement will help keep your body guessing for the short term anyway..

Thanks my dude. Also any tips you can give me on increasing my push up count? Might as well do that since I can’t work on loading up my bench.

Well form is better than max reps. That said. Either keep a daily log and aim to beat it by 1 or 2 every day.

OR google. 100 Press Up Challenge. They do a squat and situp version also.

When I first done I maxed the sit up and squat SO if that happens to you as well or anyone else.

My advice is to mix up the type of sit ups and squats. Example with squat (Pile, Single Leg (alternate) and Pulse) that's 4 you do as 1. It's a killer that is!

Sit ups set should be (Sit up, Reverse Crunch, Cycle crunch and V - Up) again a good all round core workout and a killer set 4 = 1.
