Rainy day? No gym? Stay fit with these indoor exercises
Monsoon could be a tough time for fitness freaks as sudden spells of rain can cancel their visit to the gym. However, the good news is that one can still achieve their fitness and health goals by instead working out indoors! Get creative and try these exercises that can be conveniently done at home.
Stair steppers
If you have stairs or even just one step in your home or building, it's a great way to burn some calories. Spend around 15 minutes to half an hour stepping up and down. To keep your motivation high, consider turning on some energizing music that will keep you grooving and 'stepping' your way to a healthier you.
Hallway lunges
Find the longest hallway in your house and start at one end. Take a step forward and lunge, but instead of stepping back, take another step forward with your other leg. Keep doing lunges and forward steps until you reach the end of the hallway. Then turn around and come back. Let rainy days don't stop you from lunging your way to fitness!
On-spot jogging
On-spot jogging is almost as effective as jogging outdoors. All you need is a pair of running shoes and comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. The faster you jog, the more calories you can burn. The best part is, you can do on-spot jogging while watching television or listening to your favorite music.
Skipping
Jumping rope is a fantastic cardio exercise that can boost your heart health, make you more flexible, and improve your coordination. It's a high-impact workout that can also strengthen your bones. When you do this exercise for one hour, you can burn around 560 calories. So grab a skipping rope and start jumping your way to fitness.
Burpees
This is a super effective exercise for burning fat and getting fit indoors. Start by placing your hands on the ground and getting into a push-up position. Lower your body for a push-up and then quickly jump back into a squat position. From there, perform a jumping jack, and then return to the initial position. Aim to complete a set of 10 burpees.
