Many times we are not able to make it to a gym to get exercise. It’s not that we don’t want to take time, it is just that the time is not there due to work, kids, activities, family, etc. Just because you can’t make it to a gym doesn’t mean you can’t get a good workout and stay in shape. There are many exercises you can do in the comfort of your own home and you don’t even need to purchase expensive fitness equipment. Some of these exercises include:

• push ups – If you are having trouble doing full push ups try doing them from your knees
• jumping jacks – A great cardio exercise that works a lot of muscles
• crunches – Make sure not to lock your hands behind your head when doing these. If you do you can put extra strain on your back and neck.
• leg lifts
• stretching
• yoga
• burpees
• jump rope

If you can take 20-30 minutes out of your day to do a few of these exercises you will be surprised at the results you can achieve!
