9 Excellent At-Home Exercises

Bodyweight Squats

Engage thighs and glutes. Stand shoulder-width apart, lower like sitting, then stand. No equipment needed. Increase reps for strength.

Push-Ups

Strengthen chest, shoulders, triceps. Plank position, lower body, push up. Modify on knees for beginners.

Planks

Strengthen core and stability. Begin in forearm plank, maintaining straight body alignment from head to heels. 

Jumping Jacks

Simple yet effective cardio exercise. Start with feet together, arms at sides, then jump up, spreading legs and raising arms overhead before returning to the starting position.

Lunges

Improve leg strength and balance. Step forward with one leg, lowering hips until both knees are bent at approximately 90 degrees, then push back to the starting position. Alternate legs to ensure balanced development.

Burpees

Dynamic full-body workout. From standing position, drop into a squat, kick feet back into plank, return to squat, then jump up explosively. 

Mountain Climbers

Core-targeting exercise with cardio benefits. Begin in plank position and alternate bringing each knee toward the chest at a quick pace. Increase speed for a more intense cardio challenge.
