4 ways to work out without blowing the budget
When we think of the term โexerciseโ words such as annual gym memberships,ย personal trainers and heavy equipment may come to mind.
One of the reasons we developed the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge was so that working out doesn’t have to be expensive, time consuming orย inconvenient. There are many ways in which we can tune into daily fitnessย without breaking the bank.
4 ways to work out without blowing the budget
1. 28 Day Fitness app
Theย 28 Day Weight Loss Challengeย provides workouts for mums which areย quick, easy and require little or no equipment. Think Tabata, DanceFit and Core Workouts. Meet our amazing trainer, Nathalia, HERE.ย
Always choose videos that areย well-demonstrated, easy to follow andย can be performed in the space you haveย to work out at home.
Also, check outย The Healthy Mummyโs YouTube channelย for some awesome exercise videos.
2. Body resistance training
Working out at home has never beenย easier. Body resistance exercises requireย no equipment whatsoever and can beย just as challenging as hitting the gym.
Choose floor exercises such as push-ups, squats, bridge exercises and leg lifts to strengthen and tone your tummy, thighs, glutesย and core.
Try standing routines to exerciseย your heart and lungs with a home-basedย cardiovascular workout and overheadย activities such as shoulder presses andย arm raises, to strengthen and tone theย upper arms, back and shoulders.
3.ย Walking workouts
We all generally walk during our day andย increasing the number of steps you takeย per day and the efficiency of your walkย may be more simple than you realise.
Walking is one of the best exercisesย on the planet as it costs nothing and isย readily available to most people.ย Simplyย walking for just 10-15 minutes increasesย cardiovascular function, aids muscleย strength in the hips, legs and core andย may help to reduce stress.
Simply add inย a few walking lunges or a short jog everyย 10 steps to spice things up by activelyย creating your own personal lower bodyย and/or cardiovascular workout.
4.ย Skipping
Skipping is an extremely popular exercise among athletes and trainers. In fact,ย it may well be one of the most efficientย and convenient exercises for fat burning.
Studies show that skipping for 30 minutesย can burn over 300 calories, compared toย cycling and swimming which came in under 150 calories.
The best part is, even ifย you donโt have a rope, moving your armsย in a skipping fashion can still be effective!ย If you are just starting out with skipping,ย begin at a level that you are comfortableย with and slowly increase your time andย endurance over time. And of course, only partake in this exercise if your pelvic floor is up to the task.
The affordable, realistic and easy-to-follow Mums-only Challenge
Think of theย 28 Day Weight Loss Challengeย as the best value personal trainer, dietitian, meal planner, chef and motivational coach with DAILY support โ that you have access to every day โ without the high cost and all created JUST FOR MUMS.
