At the beginning of the week, chalk out a schedule and decide on the days you want to exercise. Then, make sure you work out at a designated time and place. Plus, planning also helps you determine what workouts you want to do to target different muscle groups. A simple workout plan should mainly consist of 3-5 days of working out, including cardio and strength training.

The best part about exercising at home is that you don’t have to work with an array of complicated machines and instruments to get a good session in. The types of exercises you will find in most at-home workout plans are ones that allow you to train using your body weight. Bodyweight exercises increase your flexibility and strength and improve your posture.

It might be very tempting at first to think you can lose 20 pounds in a week, but this approach seldom leads to any success. Instead, setting up bite-sized milestones over some time can help you reach your ultimate goals in a much healthier and sustainable way, as opposed to going on extreme, and often unhealthy, diets and workout plans.

Assigning a specific spot in your house for your everyday workout sessions is a great way to stay motivated. Establishing a routine and assigning a spot for your workout helps you put in consistent efforts because the designated place becomes synonymous with working out.

Your core muscles, which consist of your abdominal muscles, pelvic floor muscles, and back muscles, are essential for maintaining a healthy posture and developing overall strength. A strong core allows you to maintain correct posture, not just while working out but also during other activities. It makes your regular workouts easier to do and much more effective.

Track your progress regularly if you have a goal in mind you want to achieve in a specific time. It doesn’t matter if it’s a physical goal or a goal related to your workouts. Keeping a tab on your progress regularly can be a great way to ensure you stay on track. This could include recording body stats, BMI, or even your personal best workouts every week to observe if you have come further from the previous week or month.

When you exercise in a consistent manner using a particular workout plan, you start seeing results over time, which helps you stay motivated. However, as your body gets used to these exercises, the results stop showing for a few weeks. This is called hitting a plateau, and it happens to almost everybody. An easy way to break a plateau is by switching up your workout routine and intensity.

One of the biggest disadvantages of working out from home is that there is no one to assure you that your form is correct. This leaves you susceptible to a lot of injuries. Most at-home workout instructors often elaborate on the posture while explaining the workout. You must pay attention to these instructions. Try working out in front of a mirror to keep an eye on your form.

When you work out from home, especially if you are working out straight after waking up in the morning, your muscles are often very tight and not ready for intense movement. Doing a heavy workout in such a state can leave you susceptible to injuries. After working out, spend at least 10-15 minutes to avoid knots, soreness, and tightness in them.

If you are a beginner, know that you can’t go from zero to a hundred in a day. If you go for an intense leg day in your first week of working out, the chances are that you’ll probably be sore for two days and won’t feel like working out again. Start small with minimum reps and sets and focus more on getting the form right. Eventually, as your body grows stronger, you’ll be able to intensify your workout sessions without injuring yourself.

Encourage your friends to take up workout challenges and routines with you to add a bit of fun! Working out with friends can help you stay consistent with your workouts and look forward to your sessions more often. You can work out with your friends via video calls and challenge them to different fun challenges.

Once you have found some momentum and motivation toward working out, you will eventually start loving your everyday sessions and the changes that come with it. With all this progress, you might be tempted to skip a few rest days to speed up your progress, but that is not a healthy approach. Rest days are essential for the body to rebuild the muscles and promote recovery.

This general rule of thumb helps make sure you don’t give up on working out. It can be quite easy to turn a rest day into weeks. An easy way to avoid that is to make sure you don’t go more than three days without working out, under any circumstance. This will ultimately allow you to get at least four days of exercise.

While it is quite popular these days to work out in a fasted state, it is recommended that you have a pre-workout and post-workout meal set out for yourself. A pre-workout meal should be something that fuels you and gives you a boost of energy. A post-workout allows your muscles to replenish the lost nutrients and recover. It is often observed that those who work out in a fasted state tend to feel more hungry during the day.

Yes, we are talking about your smartphone. Avoid checking your phone in between sets and reps to make sure you remain focused on the task at hand. If you are watching a workout video on your phone to follow, consider putting your phone on “Do Not Disturb” mode to avoid unnecessary distractions.

If you enjoy listening to music while working out, make a playlist of upbeat and motivating songs to work out to. We often tend to sync with the music, so use this to your advantage by working out to your favorite tracks. If you can, only listen to these tracks while working out so that you’ll find the motivation to hit the mat, if only for the music.

As tempting as it is to workout barefoot in your living room, make the extra effort to put on a pair of training shoes before hitting the mat. Working out barefoot, especially if you are doing high-intensity and high-impact workouts, can be quite dangerous. It can have a huge impact on your knees and ankles and result in serious injury.

When you start working out, your body needs all the vital nutrients to help you recover quickly. If you can, use a food tracker to track your macronutrients and ensure you are getting the right amount of carbs, fats, and proteins for your body. Undereating, just like overeating, can hamper your progress tremendously and result in muscle mass loss.

Starting your workouts with a clear intention and having an idea of what you want to achieve from a workout is a great way to help you get in the zone. Setting small intentions for your workouts enables you to align with your goals and motivate you to work harder to achieve them.
