With the right exercises at home, it is possible to lose weight without going to the gym. Also this best abs workout at home without equipment.
“I don’t have time to join a gym”, “I’ll only pay for the gym this month”… Enough excuses! With the training table that we propose, you can organize the gym at home. All you need is to follow our guide, a little willpower and a square meter to carry out your routine.
If the goal is to lose weight, the key is to create a caloric deficit, that is, to burn more calories than you consume in a day. And there are many ways to do this, starting with not being sedentary and moving around while doing housework. In addition, and considering that there is no exercise that is better or worse and that they all add up, we propose an effective routine made up of 6 exercises.
Fitness trainer Roxie Jones shares some at-home workouts to get your heart rate up and strengthen your core. Trainer recommends doing each move for 1 minute and trying to rest as little as possible between exercises.
To achieve the desired weight loss effect, repeat this sequence of movements at least 4 times.
