Getting exercise and maintaining a good activity level is very important for a healthy lifestyle.  Some people might find that they just don’t have enough time to go to the gym or participate in sporting activities.  Don’t worry, you can workout at your home!  Here are some suggestions for “at home” exercising:

1. Walking—If the weather is nice, it’s great to get outside and enjoy the scenery around you while you exercise.  Take a walk around the park or around your neighborhood.  A brisk 30 minute walk can be very beneficial.
2. Jumping Jacks—These are always fun!  They are a great cardio exercise (if enough are done), or good for warming up.
3. Pushups—These may not be the most exciting exercise, but getting into the habit of doing at least SOME pushups everyday will build arm strength and work out muscles in your chest are.
4. Lunges—Lunges are easy to do around your house.  You can do stationary lunges or mobile lunges.  Both will help develop good leg strength and are easily done in 10 minutes or less.  Build up gradually and continue to increase the number you perform.
5. Crunches—Get in the habit of doing SOME crunches on a daily basis.  This will help you maintain muscles strength as well as building and strengthening abdominal muscles.
6. Jogging in Place—You can jog in place at home while watching tv or listening to music.  If you have a treadmill at home, you can utilize that equipment as well.
7. Squats—Squats are a bit like lunges.  If these are too difficult, try sitting and standing up again in a regular chair.
8. Light Weight Lifting—No, you don’t need to go out and buy weights.  Just use items around the house (i.e. food cans, milk jugs, etc.)
9. Dancing—Dancing is a fantastic exercise, and fun to boot!
10. Step Exercises—Use steps in your home to either walk or run up.  This will help tone your leg muscles.
