Exercise has many benefits, including: improving the cardiovascular and immune systems, brain, sleep, and mood. But the classic excuses for not exercising are often a lack of time or funds. By practicing in the comfort of your own bedroom, you can get around both excuses. Plus, you can get a fantastic shape.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Prepare the Room
Step 1. Find a space in the room to train
To understand if there is enough space, lie down on the ground and spread your arms and legs, if you don't hit some object, you are ready to go!
Step 2. Purchase the necessary tools
This is optional, but having some basic tools helps you do more exercises. Here's what you might buy:
- Mat
- Medicine ball
- Small dumbbells
- Rope
- Resistance bands
Part 2 of 3: Warm up
Step 1. Warm up
Even if you will be staying in the chamber, it is important to warm up your muscles before exercising.
Step 2. Stretching
Stretch your muscles a little to avoid injury.
Part 3 of 3: Finding suitable exercises for small spaces
Step 1. Tone the abdomen
Doing sit ups will tone your abdomen and increase your heart rate. If you want, you can place a heavy object on your feet to perform the exercise more precisely.
Step 2. Work on strength
Increase your strength by doing classic pushups, planks pushups, and lifting weights. Be careful when lifting weights, you could get injured.
Step 3. Jump rope
This is a very effective exercise. Jumping rope for 10 minutes burns calories as much as running a mile in 8 minutes. If you have space in the room, skip the rope!
Make sure there are no objects or other obstacles that could come into contact with the rope
Step 4. Tone your legs
Running in place not only increases your heart rate but also tones your legs if you do it often. Add some stretching and some pushups on your legs, and you'll see great results.
Step 5. Yoga
This is a great way to relax and refresh your mind. It is also a type of light exercise to keep yourself toned.
Advice
- Tidy up the room before doing the exercises.
- Some exercise bikes are space-saving. Consider purchasing such a tool.
-
Use the bed to do some exercises. Since the bed is not a stable surface, you will have to use your abdomen a lot to maintain balance. However, if you are poorly trained, only do the exercises on the floor to avoid injuries.
- On the edge of the bed: push-ups (feet on the floor or legs on the bed), parallel for triceps, one-leg squats (the other leg on the bed).
- On the bed: standing squats, lunges, leg raises, push-ups (modified or complete).
