Time to kick every excuse in the butt! Here is a list of indoor workouts that only require, yourself and a small amount of floor. Never an excuse not to workout again- because you can right now standing wherever you are.
Increase or decrease repetitions and sets depending on your own fitness levels. Remember it is the extra 10% you push yourself that makes ALL the difference. The workout should be getting your heart rate and breathing rate to increase.
Unsure of a move- check out our Workout Exercises page first! Explanations and variations for different exercises.
Indoor Workout 1:
Round 1:
- 10 Burpees– use any modification as required.
- 10 Pushups– On knees or toes
- 10 Jumping Squats– Normal squats if unable to jump
- 10 Sit ups
1 minute break in-between sets. Repeat sets- decreasing by 1 each set.
- ie. Next set do 9 Burpees, 9 push-ups, 9 squats and 9 sit ups.
Keep repeating with a minute break in-between sets all the way to 0 or until you cannot do anymore. Make a note of where you got to and next time try and push your self to get to one less or even further.
Ideas:
- Set a timer: See how far down you can get in the time. Next time try to get further in the same time.
- Swap in and out different exercises.
- Try and decrease the break in-between. Can you do 2 or 3 sets in a row without any breaks?
- If you can not do 10 of an exercise yet, start at a lower number and try and work your way up. Can you work yourself up to go above 10?
