Home Workout Program for Beginners
Important: Before starting a new exercise program, it is best to consult a doctor, especially if you have a medical condition.
Warm up (5-10 minutes):
- Light cardio: Jumping jacks, jogging in place, or cycling.
- Stretching: Full body stretches to increase flexibility and reduce the risk of injury.
Core Workout (10-15 minutes): - Plank: Body position like a push-up, but resting on the elbows and toes. Hold this position as long as possible.
- Crunches: Lying on your back, lift your upper body by lifting your head and shoulders.
- Leg raises: Lying on your back, lift both legs simultaneously until they form a 90 degree angle with the body.
Strength Training (20-25 minutes): - Squats: Stand straight, feet shoulder-width apart, lower your body as if you were going to sit.
- Push-ups: Body position like a plank, lower your body until your chest almost touches the floor.
- Lunges: Step one leg forward, bend both knees until they form a 90 degree angle. Repeat with the other leg.
Cooling down (5-10 minutes): - Stretch: Do light stretches to help the muscles relax.
Repeat this program 3-4 times a week.
Additional Tips:
- Create a schedule: Determine the most suitable time to exercise and stick to it.
- Find a workout buddy: Exercising with friends can make you more motivated.
- Vary the exercises: Don’t get bored by doing the same exercises over and over again. Look for other interesting exercise variations.
- Pay attention to nutrition: Eat healthy food and meet your body’s fluid needs.
- Listen to your body: If you feel sick, stop exercising immediately.
Remember, consistency is key! Even though the results will not be visible in a short time, by continuing to practice regularly, you will feel the benefits for your body and mental health.
