If you're looking for the best at-home workout, you've come to the right place. These exercises will help you lose weight fast!
High-Knees
High-Knees
- Stand with your feet together and hands clasped in front of your chest.
- Lift one knee toward your chest, then extend it straight out behind you while keeping the other leg bent at a 90-degree angle.
- The motion should be fluid and continuous--don't pause at any point during this exercise! Repeat for 30 seconds on each leg or until fatigue sets in, then switch sides and repeat again.
Butt Kicks
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Keep your back straight, knees slightly bent, and focus on using your glutes to propel yourself up and down.
- Relax your shoulders and keep your arms at the sides or on your hips if needed for balance.
- Jump up as high as possible with each rep (the higher the better).
Star Jumps
Star jumps are a great way to get your heart rate up. You'll be jumping and landing on your feet, so this exercise is more intense than some others. Start by standing with your feet together, then jump up as high as you can while extending your arms above your head. Land with soft knees and repeat for 30 seconds straight!
Start standing with bent knees at a 90-degree angle, then jump up straightening both legs completely while raising your arms above your head (or slightly forward if that feels better). Land softly back onto bent knees again before repeating another star hop!
Lunges
Lunges are a great exercise to do if you want to lose weight fast.
They're simple, but they work!
Here's how:
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Bring one leg forward about 3-4 feet so that your knee is bent at 90 degrees and your toes are pointed straight ahead or slightly outward (depending on the type of lunge).
- Bend both knees as though preparing to sit down in an imaginary chair behind you while keeping your back straight, chest out and shoulders relaxed--no slouching! Don't let either knee go beyond its line of gravity or you risk injury; simply keep it slightly bent as if there were an imaginary wall behind it preventing any further movement toward the floor beyond 90 degrees of flexion at each joint throughout this entire exercise sequence starting from standing position all the way through return back up again after completing one rep before repeating again by moving over another foot's distance away from where you started each time until reaching end point where there isn't any more room left between body parts anymore meaning that no further reps can possibly be done unless new ones begin elsewhere which could mean starting all over again from scratch beginning somewhere else entirely different from where last left off priorly finished up priorly finishing up previously finished before starting these particular ones now being discussed here today regarding same topic mattering most greatly now rather than later sometime soon maybe possibly perhaps not probably definitely not likely never ever maybe possibly perhaps not probably definitely not likely never ever
Step-Ups
Stand on the left foot and place the right foot on a step. Push off the floor with your right foot, raising your left knee to hip height. Land on the step with your left foot, then repeat by pushing off again with your right foot as you bring up that same leg again. Repeat 15 times before switching legs so you're alternating between them--this is called "circuit training," which means doing all of these exercises in sequence without rest in between (though feel free to take breaks if needed).
After 15 reps per leg, hold onto something for balance and raise your left knee just above waist level for 30 seconds; lower it back down slowly before switching sides and repeating this exercise 10 more times (20 total sets).
Skipping Rope
- Skipping rope is a great way to get your heart rate up and burn calories.
- You can use a rope or a jump rope, although there are some differences in technique between them. If you're using a regular length of rope, skip with both feet at the same time by swinging your arms back behind your body then forward again as you step forward with either foot (either right or left).
- To do a jump rope squat: hold onto one end of the jump rope in each hand; squat down until thighs are parallel to the floor; stand back up while swinging arms in front of the body as high as possible then bring them down slowly so that they land behind hips when returning from the squat position into standing position again
You can do these exercises at home, with no equipment.
These exercises are easy to understand and do. They require no equipment, so you can exercise at home, in the park, or even at work if you're lucky enough!
The best part about these exercises is that they're challenging. These workouts will help you burn fat and build muscle which then increases your metabolism so that your body burns more calories throughout the day (even when you're not working out). You'll also see an improvement in heart health as well as lung capacity because of these workouts!
Conclusion
Losing weight can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. By incorporating these six exercises into your daily routine, you can start to see results in just a few weeks. You don't need any equipment or gym membership--just some determination!
