    Stay fit without going to the gym: Try these exercises
  • Everyone is hitting the gym these days.

    It is commendable because it means people today realize the importance of good health.

    However, if gym is not your thing, start working out at home.

    Exercising at home can be equally beneficial, if you learn the right techniques and have a proper diet along with it.

    Here are five exercises you can perform at your home.

    Push ups

    Push ups
  • Push ups are done for the chest, arms and shoulder muscles.

    40-50 push ups a day are considered good and will keep your body toned.

    Try different types of push ups with slight variations. Some of the popular forms are diamond, wide grip, superman, clap push ups, etc.

    Further, push ups also help stimulate metabolism and increase blood pressure, thus improving your health.

    Planks

    Planks
  • The plank directly targets your core strength.

    It is quite similar to push ups, you just have to maintain the position using your forearms to support your body.

    Some common variations are the side and reverse planks.

    They can help improve your posture, reduce back pain, and enhance bone and joint strength. They may also reduce stress and boost your mood.

    Squats

    Squats
  • Squats are one of those exercises that can improve your overall body strength.

    In fact, they can help in the strengthening of your calves, glutes and thighs.

    Further, they improve mobility of the lower body, and also keep your bones and joints strong.

    Three sets of 20 squats each can contribute to your overall muscle development.

  • #4

    Leg raises

    Leg raises
  • Want to start an effective abs exercise? Go for leg raises.

    Leg raises help promote motion in hips, body stabilization, activation of unused body muscles and also improve overall endurance.

    Further, side leg raises also tone the curves of the body.

    Perform four sets of 25 reps each day and see the results for yourself.

  • #5

    Lunges

    Lunges
  • Lunges are single leg body-weight exercises that strengthen the innermost muscles of your legs.

    They target glutes, thighs, calves, quads, hamstrings and some other muscles.

    If you are focusing on your legs, lunges are a must as they improve lower body endurance and capacity to hold weight.

    Try lunges with dumbbells for variations.

    Stay healthy!
