8 Challenging Workouts You Can Do Anywhere
Doing the same exercise can become dull and less challenging over time. This is why it's important to gradually increase your workout so that you also burn more fat. One of the problems you encounter is having the right place to move. And sometimes, going to the gym or running outside just isn't possible!
But fret not. You'll be glad to know that you can add challenges to your usual fitness routine and actually do it anywhere - even from the comfort of your home. Check out the techniques below.
1. Go for 25 hand grips on both hands
Hand gripping improves forearm muscularity and burns 150 calories if you manage to do a hundred grips. So if you take a quarter of squeezes then perform them on both hands then you burn 75 calories. For a gradual challenge add five every day.
2. Do the crocodile walk
This is a total body-based workout that builds strength, endurance, and core. Start in a press-up position, with your legs and arms shoulder-width apart. The exercise is superb. Do the exercise for 30 seconds with a rest interval of 60-seconds, then 45 seconds with a 45-second rest interval, then 60 seconds with a 30-second rest interval.
3. Do 21-30 push-ups
Pushups have a lot of benefits such as the toning of the chest and deltoid, to cardiovascular enhancing. Like planking, the calories burned from pushups differ from person to person depending on her weight and the number of reps executed. The average amount of pushups a lady can do is 10-20, so try to challenge yourself above that with 3 sets while adding 2 more reps.
4. Perform over 200 squats
You don’t have to find a place to do your squats. Squats can be done anywhere you like. Squats help in increasing blood circulation throughout the body, tone the butt muscles, and burn calories. Challenge yourself to 4 sets of 70 squats with a rest interval of 2 minutes after each set.
5. Run in place for 7 minutes
If you don’t have a treadmill or can’t go out for a run, you can achieve the same level of calorie burn by running in place. Just make sure to check guides on how to do it properly so you can burn the same amount of fat as running with forwarding momentum. A single 7-minute stationary run may not be enough, do 3 sets with 1-minute rest intervals.
6. Execute 25 triceps dip then add 2 reps every day
You can do this with a chair or a bench: Grip the edges of the seat (shoulder-width apart), slide off while holding yourself up with arms straight, keep you back close to the chair, bend the elbows, and go as low as you can, then push yourself up and repeat the whole exercise. This exercise helps to tone the triceps muscle and burns a good amount of calorie.
7. Do a 5-minute burpee
This is a complicated kind of exercise but is fun to do as it combines a series of pseudo-squats, push-ups, and jumping jacks. The exercise requires a lot of energy to perform but burns a lot of calories especially at longer durations. Three sets of 5-minute burpees with rest intervals of 60 seconds challenge you to burn more calories.
8. Belly dance daily for 45 minutes
Dancing is a fun workout, and yes you need to incorporate it to improve your technique on the audition day. Belly dancing is a good form of dance to try. It improves your posture, the way you walk and gives you a sense of empowerment. Start belly dancing for 45 minutes each day and notice the difference.
Now that you’ve known some fitness challenges that you can do anywhere, start at least one today. Combine physical activity with a well-planned diet and a healthy lifestyle and you'll achieve the ideal weight for you. :)
