This is a great Full Body Home Workout designed to not only give your muscles a workout out but also increase your heart rate. As you can see, we start with a muscle-building exercise, then we have followed each one with burpees (for 3 reps). This will not only give you a pump but also get your heart rate up, helping you get that little bit extra out of your workout.
Press Ups:
There is a reason that the press up is the go-to exercise for us, and why we have included it in this Full Body Home Workout. It works almost all your upper body, Focusing on Chest and triceps, but also hitting your back and Biceps slightly. With so many variations of the press up the possibilities are endless. You can do them Decline, Incline, Close Grip/Dimond or even staggered, Each one affecting your body differently. They are so simple to perform but are so effective. You can choose your favourite variation to do.
Tips:
- Keep Elbows tucked into your Chest
- Focus on full range of motion
- Slow! Slow the exercise down to get the full effect
Jumping Squats:
The issue with squats at home is that they are hard to add resistance to if you haven’t got any weight. Well, one way to make them harder is to do jumping squats. Great way to increase the difficulty of bodyweight squats, without having to invest in equipment. Just perform a standard squat but instead of raising back to the starting position, Explode up and jump up into the air, land back on your feet and go straight into your second rep. Leaving no gap between reps. Great leg burner.
Tips:
- Explode up
- Strict Form!
- Jump as high as your surrounding will allow
Dips:
Dips, you may think that you haven’t got any bars to perform Dips with? You don’t need any bars, you can use a chair, a box or a bottom step on a staircase. Anything where you can get below a 90-degree angle when at the negative. Have a look around the room you are in currently and I am sure that you will find something you can perform Dips on. Remember when performing dips, ROM (Range Of Motion) is key, not just on the negative, but also at the top of the motion, Fully extend your arm and tense those triceps.
Tips:
- Full Range of motion
- Keep elbows tucked in
- Pausing the rep can extra that extra “Something” if you need more burn.
Leg Raises:
Out of all the Ab exercises we could have put in this workout, we thought that the leg raises is the best. It is an exercise I think most people don’t do. It is so effective, even at low reps. When performing leg raises, make sure that you keep your legs straight, and most importantly keep the motion under control, explode the legs up and slowly bring them down, keeping them under control at all times. Not only will this make the exercise more effective, but also build up your ab control, which in turn, will make your abs stronger.
Tips:
- Keep Legs straight
- Lower the legs slowly
- At the top, lift your glutei of the floor
