Does anyone have a good workout routine that can be done at home?

Posted on 25. May, 2010 by admin in Workout

I don’t have that much time to go to the gym so I was wondering if anyone knew any good workout routines to do at home. (I have a standard weightbench if any workouts involve them). Thanks!

    I go to the gym but my husband jogs in the evenings or mornings. I also have a stationary bike, stability ball and a set of weights. So I still work out at home if I cant go to the gym.

    You may also get DVDs to workout with.

    first of all whats your purpose?
    if u want to lose weight, run for 30 mins a day. start with 5 mins a day then 10 then 20….
    if u want to tone, do push ups…
    if u want to gain serious mass you’re gonna need a gym and weights.

    Research done at Mayo has recently reported that doing one set of exercise is as effective as doing multiple sets. When my time is limited I do one set of exercises for shoulders, chest, biceps, triceps, stomach, obliques and squats. I got pictures of strength exercise off of Spark Diets and made myself a strength workout with pictures that that site has on it. I also pop in a video on a small cheap tv/vct/dvd and exercise during my favorite show.

    Tae-bo is such a great workout and it’s fun too! I once lost 50lbs from it in like 4 months.

    Just go to bestbuy and buy a workout dvd you think you’d like, once you’re bored get another. Then you’ll have a collection and you can rotate them. If you see one off the infomercials they have good ones too. If you go to http://www.beachbody.com a lot of videos they sell there are shown on tv. I have a few like slimin6 and cardiojam they work! and they come out with new ones so you don’t get bored. Hope I helped ya!

    I love the “8 minute” series. It was made in the early 90s, so the instructor outfits are sort of cheesy. You can get the series for abs, butt, legs, arms, etc.

    Best of all, they’re only 8 minutes long AND you can find them ALL on YouTube!

    FuneralFunk hit it on the head.

    It depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

    1. Lose weight – diet and exercise (see below)
    2. Improve cardio – need to get your aerobic workout in
    3. Improve stamina – aerobic workout, low impact weights
    4. Tone muscles – low weights, high repetition
    5. Build muscles – low weights with high repetition; medium weights with medium reps; high weight with low reps
    6. Maintain conditioning / improve metabolism – what the first guy said – lots of low impact exercises with a little bit of weights.

    But without more info, its hard to say.

    I have been following the “Groin Ripper” workout routine and it really gives anybody a challenge. You don’t need any equipment. Just read the book and do what it says. Check it out for yourself.

    509 puch ups a day

    It all depends on what your looking to accomplish. If you want to bulk up use the following recipe:

    1 3lb can of weight gain (MLO or similar brand at least 2000 calories per serving).

    1 can 28 -32 0z egg protein powder.

    2 jars of ovaltene (chocolate malt suggested).

    mix with juice or esp. milk. 3-4x a day.

    This powder mix puts on weight fast and was suggested by a power lifter. Note that you must work out to gain maximum results.

    For the workout: it helps to have free weights…But if you don’t have any, you can use two chairs for push-ups graduating to the seats and finally to the backs facing each other and using the top of the backs for support and high push-ups! This builds the chest. push-ups: Close in with hands touching = inner pecs. Mid way, shoulder width apart = mid pecs and upper pectoral muscles; (pecs). and farther out =outer pecs and lower pecs. You can also lift weight over your head while lying on your back to your stomach and back to above your head.

    Stand on your hands against a wall and do reverse squats by pushing up your body weight. This builds shoulders.

    There is more but I will have to give you more details when i find out what you have and if you are training at a gym, at home or whatever…Hope this helps!

    If you’re a guy you’re probably going to think this is silly, but listen! I stumbled upon a DVD by Tamilee Webb – “I want that body”. Ok ok, it’s cheesy, and I’m kind of embarrassed to do it, HOWEVER, it will kick your @s*! Seriously. I made my boyfriend do it with me once (because he was making fun of me) and he couldn’t walk the next day! .

    It comes with 3 sections – abs/buns/arms and 2 levels on each. She’s also pretty informative about your form, though her encouragement can be a little annoying. Each section is only 15 minutes long (really more like 11 with the stretching at beginning and end), but you will be sweating and breathing hard for sure. So it’s cardio and resistance. http://www.amazon.com/Science-Fitness-Tamilee-Want-That/dp/B000055ZGP/ref=pd_ts_v_20?ie=UTF8&s=video

    Also, if you’re interested in an elongating/toning type exercise, the New York City Ballet workout DVD is pretty cool. It’s not very strenuous; sometimes I do it on my ‘off days’. http://www.amazon.com/New-York-City-Ballet-Complete/dp/B000HRMAR2/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1198336109&sr=1-1
    It’s about an hour long.

    throw the weight bench away. go volunteer your time on a dairy farm, you wont have need for a gym. you may find a routine that will become a lifelong carrier

    The US Marine Corps has an excellent workout that requires ZERO equipment. I don’t know where to find it, but if followed, it beats ANYTHING you can do with you weight-bench.

    I have one answer for you. Workout DVD’s! They’re great, entertaining, and an instructor helps you along the way. You can get into dance, yoga, pilates, walk-at-home, tae-bo, or even regular strength training. It really introduces and educates you on all kinds of exercising.

    Then there is bench press, front and back military press, arm curls, bent over rows, upright rows, and probably squat. That’s just assuming the bench doesn’t move. If it is adjustable, then you can do incline and declined presses. Let me know if you don’t understand and of the workouts.

    P90X!!! I run regularly, and have worked out for a long time, kickboxing, swimming, lifting weights, and NOTHING I have done compares to this workout!! It is AMAZING! The Plyometrics DVD (it comes with 12 different ones), is the BEST! I couldn’t finish it. In fact, I’m really curious to talk to someone that can! You will be feeling like you’re STILL working out 3 days later!!
    I promise this P90X is the answer!

    You can do everything worthwhile at home you can do at a gym. All you need is two adjustable dumbbells, an adjustable barbell, a bench, and a squat rack. And of course lots of plates of all sizes. You can do curls, military presses, bent over rows, bench presses (please do these only with a spotter around), squats, deadlifts, and many more exercises.

    this is what i do:
    floor stretches for about 5 minutes
    50 jumping jacks with strong arms (aka, not flailing arms)
    a set of 100 crunches:
    –20 on back
    –20 on left side, 20 on right side
    –20 on back
    –20 with straight arms
    lunges across my living room
    5 minutes stretch again
