Did you make a New Year’s resolution to exercise more? Check out these apartment-friendly workouts!
At the start of the new year, it is common to make resolutions for your health and wellness. You may have good intentions, but many people find it hard to make time for the gym or pay the expensive membership fees. However, there are plenty of workouts you can do from the comfort of your apartment, no matter how small it is!
Stair Step Ups
Do you live in a high-rise apartment building and rely on taking the elevator every day? Change up your routine and make an effort to take the stairs more! The stairs are actually a great work out and are very beneficial for toning your legs, glutes, and hamstrings. In addition to taking the stairs every day, you can also grab dumbbells to increase the weight your body lifts while walking up and down the stairs.
Wall Squats
Wall squats are a very difficult and effective workout that only requires one thing- a wall! You can do this exercise anywhere in your apartment, and you’ll be sure to feel the burn. Simply put your back against the wall, and slide down until you’re lined up at a 90-degree angle with your hips, knees, and ankles. Hold this position for as long as possible, and try to increase your time each day. If you live with a partner or roommate, you can exercise together by passing a weighted ball back and forth.
Ab Exercises
While abs require a healthy diet and smart food choices, you can complete various ab exercises from your apartment floor. All you’ll need is a comfortable mat or rug, and the motivation to work hard! There are many ab exercises you can find online or with workout videos, including crunches, sit-ups, leg raises, and much more.
Yoga
There are many different types of yoga, but if you have the space to lay flat on a rug or mat, then you can complete a variety of yoga moves. Yoga is a great morning routine to get your mind and body ready for the day, as well as a nightly routine to wind down and stretch before bed. Whether you want a calorie-burning exercise or a calming workout after a long day, yoga is a great solution.
