You don’t need any equipment and you can simply put on your favorite tunes and wear your ugliest gym clothes in the comfort of your own home. Here are 5 great exercises for you to do at home and feel great after.

Squats

Stand straight with your legs a little wider than hip-width apart. You want to make sure your knees are in line with your toes when you go down. Squat down and then straighten to start position, squeezing your glutes at the top. Do 3 sets for 15 reps.

Lunges

Stand with your feet together and then take one leg back behind you. Bend the back leg and go up and down on that leg holding the core and squeezing the glutes on each rep. Do 3 sets for 12 reps on each leg.

Plank

This exercise works on all of your body but mostly your core. Go down on to your elbows, on a comfortable surface, straighten your legs and flex the feet. Engage your abs and glutes and keep the back straight. Keep the plank for 30 seconds-1 minute.

Push-ups

This exercise can be done on your knees if you find it too difficult to do with straight legs. Make sure the core is engaged at all times and the hands are slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Start in a straight arm plank then bend the elbows back, not out, and go down with the chest to the floor. Push up through the arms and chest to start position. Do 3 sets for 10-12 reps.

Hip Bridges

Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and the feet flat on the floor. Squeeze your glutes and bring the hips up and down in a controlled manner. Do 3 sets for 15 reps.

TRX Plank

If you are already a pro with the plank, why not add an extra element to challenge your stability. Put your feet in the stirrups of a TRX and hands on the floor to hold the plank. The feet are off the floor so you have to work harder to hold the plank.

Exercise ball Plank

Another variety is to use an exercise ball to put your forearms on, your feet are on the floor, and you have to hold the core to stop the ball moving.

The Military Plank

Start with your arms straight, feet on the ground and your core tight and lift one arm off the ground straight forward in line with your ear. Hold for 2 seconds and swap to the other arm.

Weighted Plank

Adding weight on your back whilst you plank really gives you some added resistance. Whilst the plate is on your back brace your lower back to engage the lower core. Squeeze the glutes and hold for as long as you can. Make sure there are no gaps between the back and the plate.
