The gym will always be a great place to get in shape, but it’s not for everyone. Some people simply don’t want to display shortcomings in front of strangers. Others use gym-phobia as an excuse not to work out at all. We’re here to help with an effective program you can do at home, which will allow you to save money (no gym dues) and time (your home is always open), and spares you the parade of nakedness that is a health-club locker room. 1. Start jogging in place. Begin to quickly bring your heel up toward your buttock; as fast as you can alternate your legs. While doing butt kicks, the back is straight with a slight forward body lean. The body lean is as natural as the athlete assumes while running. Do butt kicks for 15 seconds. Rest for 30 seconds between sets. Repeat three times. Remember, arms are simply legs higher up, so keep pumping and driving them throughout the drill.
2. Extend your legs, straight out, keeping your knees together. Do not lock your legs. Bend at your hips, reaching your hands toward ankles, your chest to your knees. As your flexibility increases, reach for feet. Push out through your heels, forcing your toes up to the sky. Hold for 15 seconds. Repeat five times. Remember to not stretch so that it hurts.
The abdominal exercise zone will also provide information about more ways to working out, more ideas and tips about muscle and body development, diets and tips to increase the productiveness of your efforts and most important, information about the exercise that you are trying out, and the ones that you are considering.3. To do this exercise correctly:
1. Lie face up on the floor and lace your fingers behind your head.
2. Bring the knees in towards the chest and lift the shoulder blades off the ground without pulling on the neck.
3. Straight the left leg out to about a 45-degree angle while simultaneously turning the upper body to the right, bringing the left elbow towards the right knee.
4. Switch sides, bringing the right elbow towards the left knee.
5. Continue alternating sides in a “pedaling” motion for 12-16 reps.
