If you follow me on Instagram, you will know that I’ve had to take a couple of weeks off due to injury. This has given me time to figure out what I need when doing my home workouts. Working out at home is the only way I work out, living on an island, there are no good gyms. I’ve slowly been acquiring what I believe are essentials to getting a good sweat on at home.
Here’s my list of must-haves for good home workouts. And even better I was able to get a majority of these on Amazon!
I am not a morning person, and I haven’t been my entire life, well at least according to my parents. This year I want to get into the routine of working out in the morning before work. That way I have no excuse for not getting in my work out. So far not off to the best start but I have found one trick that at least gets some movements in, in the morning.
My easy leg day workouts for the days that I know I won’t be able to get in a full workout. On these days I like to get a quick leg workout in while I brush my teeth either in the morning or right before bed. It’s going to sound weird, but I use my electronic toothbrush beeps for when I need to change the area of the mouth, for when to change my movement. This is a great way to wake up and feel energized. I tell myself I’ve at least moved and worked those muscles I wouldn’t otherwise while sitting at my desk all day.
Here are some examples of my favorite moves you can do while brushing your teeth. Multitasking at it’s best!
