I think you will agree with me when I say:
I don‘t always feel like going to the gym but I still want to get a good workout in without actually having to use gym equipment
Well it‘s very understandable sometimes we don‘t feel like driving the way to the gym, waiting for gym equipment someone is using or get distracted by gossipers that slow our workouts down.
Or even guys that keep staring at us while we workout which can feel very uncomfortable….
Turns out that many women have gotten in great shape with simple yet effective home workouts.
Here’s the deal:
While the gym is definitely a great place to get in shape you can also workout at home without using expensive gym equipment.
We are talking about the kind of home workouts for women that are hard and deliver results but you won‘t be needing any gym equipment.
Now:
This home workout we will be sharing today can benefit anybody who want‘s to get in shape.
Both women with lifting experience and women who are just starting out.
Women Home Workout for legs and abs
The legs are probably the thing most of us focus on.
Defined legs with strong muscles are very desirable and can make any pants look good on you.
That‘s why we will focus on the legs in this home workout.
Exercise 1 – Lunges
One of the most underestimated exercises of all times are lunges. This very effective exercise works all of your leg muscles and is great for strengthening and shaping the glutes.
The best part?
This is a very physically demanding exercise and you won‘t be needing any weights while doing it.
Start off by doing 5 sets of lunges:
- If you are a beginner do 30 reps in each set.
- If you are advanced do 50+ reps in each set.
Resting in between sets – 1 minute
Exercise 2 – Step ups
Step ups is a great exercise to get the heart rate up and work the leg muscles.
When you have done your lunges try to find a box or chair or something you can use to perform this exercise.
- Do 5 sets of these for 20 reps.
Resting in between sets – 1 minute
Exercise 3 – Abdominal crunches
To finish the workout do 100 reps of abdominal crunches.
If you are new to training you might be exhausted after 50 reps and that’s fine.
Just do as much as you are comfortable with.
Recap:
What this workout helps us to achieve is training our legs and abs at home without needing to go to the gym.
It’s a very simple workout but highly effective and hard.
The workout:
- Lunges 5 sets 30-50 reps in each set
- Step ups (use a chair or a box) – 5 sets and 20 reps in each set
- Abdominal crunches do 100 reps if you can, a little less than that is also alright.
Try to rest only 1 minute in between sets to keep the heart rate up.
If you feel like this workout was too easy , you can repeat it as many times as you like.
A very important reminder:
No matter how hard we train or how much cardio we do we will not lose body fat if our diet is not good enough.
This is were most women fail in their journey to success.
They might train hard and frequently but their diet is not good enough.
Which means the results will be limited or non existent.
If you got fat covering your beautiful body, your training efforts will not be noticed.
Here’s the deal:
The fact of the matter is that many women don‘t know how to eat right for losing weight and get a strong looking feminine body.
That‘s the reason why we encourage women to do everything in their power to learn more about nutrition.
