Getting started to be fit at home

Healthy eating

This may be a few basic resolutions to getting fit naturally. Overall, try to eat a balanced diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Also, consume moderate amounts of proteins (like meat, fish, eggs, and beans) and milk products, and keep high-fat and sugary foods to a minimum.

Set time to exercise

It’s important to create a routine so you don’t skip out. Try to incorporate your exercise regime as a habit (i.e. every morning after you brush your teeth). Many people find a bit of free time in the morning it’s best. Because you will also be energized and also fit for the rest of the day.

Create a space for your work out

An environment in which you are comfortable and can move about freely should do the trick. Avoid places with a lot of distractions.

Assemble items

Having some basic items will help your exercise go smoothly. Wear soft, comfortable clothing. You don’t need anything fancy, just what feels good and allows you a full range of movement. Also, don’t forget supportive footwear for walks, jogs, and aerobic exercises. Additionally, get a jump rope and a yoga mat.

Pull up

 
Pull-ups work arm and back muscles, giving you great bang for your back. Turn palms away to work more back muscles. Having the palms facing you works not just the back, but also targets the biceps. Grasp the chin-up bar and cross your legs to keep the lower body stable. Slowly pull your body up, bending your elbows, until your chin is level with the bar. Pause, then slowly return to your starting position. Repeat.

Standing tubing row

Additionally, this move hits all the muscles, like pull ups as well as all your core muscles. Grasp the handles with straight arms and tubing taut. Pull the handles towards you and lean back a little. Focus on bringing your shoulder blades back and together. Pause and slowly straighten arms back to the starting position without bending forward.

Wide grip push up

 
A wide grip makes the chest muscles work a little harder. Place your hands outside the shoulders. You should engage your core, thigh, and glutes to get the most out of this or any push-up. As you lift,you engage the large muscles of the arms.

Stretch

Try to do at least 3 15-minute sessions per week. Stretching is also a great stress reliever. However, breathe, but don’t bounce, as you hold a stretch. Try to hold positions for 30 seconds. Stretching should never hurt! Go gently.

• Hamstring stretch: Sit on the floor with your legs out in front of you, feet up. Reach forward toward your toes and hold.
• Calf stretch: Stand and extend 1 leg behind you with the foot on the floor. Bend the front leg slowly, keeping the hips and shoulders square. Repeat with the other leg.
• Quadriceps stretch: Stand on 1 leg and grasp the ankle of the other. Pull your heel up and in towards your buttocks. Keep your knees close together.
• Hip flexor stretch: Kneel on your right knee and put your left leg out in front, knee bent. Put your right hand on your right hip and shift your weight onto your left leg, leaning forward but keeping your back straight.
• Shoulder stretch: Bring your left arm behind your back and hold it with your right arm, above or below the elbow.

Decline push up

This challenging push-up can kick your shoulder strength up a couple notches. Get into a standard push-up: hands a little wider than shoulder-width apart, fingers facing forward, elbows slightly bent, and eyes on the floor. Then place feet behind you on a sturdy chair or bench. Keep your body in a straight line, engage the abs, bend your elbows, and lower your chest towards the floor. Push back to starting position.
