THE AT HOME BODY WORKOUT YOU CAN DO WITHOUT ANY EQUIPMENT

-





You don’t need a big, fancy home gym to get in shape. In fact, you don’t need any equipment at all. Burn calories and build muscle at home with this simple circuit workout.

It’s easy to assemble a home gym that takes up little space. But if you (or your significant other) don’t want even minimal clutter at home or if you need a portable workout that can be done in hotel rooms, airports, or even outdoors, it’s possible to craft an intense workout with just your body weight.
Of course, the more body weight you have, the more challenging that workout can be. That’s good news, since you’ll drop weight as you progress. You’ll save time otherwise spent traveling to a gym, and you’ll save money instead of forking over cash for a membership. And you’ll finish near your own kitchen, so you can whip up a post-workout recovery shake.

HOW IT WORKS: THE AT-HOME, NO-EQUIPMENT BODYWEIGHT WORKOUT

This at-home workout without equipment is designed as a circuit. Each round of the circuit consists of seven exercises. We’ll perform three total rounds, alternating between pushing and pulling (or upper- and lower-body movements). This will to keep moving, making the most of our workout time without having any toys to put away at the end.


1. Glute Bridge
Why It Works: Even if you’re training first thing in the morning, your glutes are undoubtedly tight from sitting at desks and behind steering wheels all day, every day. This activates the glutes—arguably the most powerful muscles in the body—at the start of your session.

How to Do It: Lie face-up on the floor with knees bent 90 degrees and feet on the floor. Squeeze your glutes and bridge your hips to the ceiling. Only your shoulders and hips remain on the ground. Hold for two seconds and then lower your hips toward the ground without touching.
Prescription: 10 reps


2.Hand Walks
Why It Works: This full-body move lengthens your hamstrings and calves while opening up your ankles and lower back. It also stabilizes the shoulders.
How to Do It: Stand with legs straight and hands on the floor. Walk your hands out. Keeping your legs straight, walk you feet back to your hands using short steps from your ankles.
Prescription: 10 reps


3.Lunge Elbow to Instep
Why It Works: This challenges your overall core stability by combining two effective moves in one.
How to Do It: Begin in a forearm plank position. Push from your triceps, placing your right hand on the ground and then your left hand, gradually rising to pushup position. Return to forearm plank by placing your right forearm down and then your left.
Prescription: 10 reps


4. Plank-to-Pushup
Why It Works: This challenges your overall core stability by combining two effective moves in one.
How to Do It: Begin in a forearm plank position. Push from your triceps, placing your right hand on the ground and then your left hand, gradually rising to pushup position. Return to forearm plank by placing your right forearm down and then your left.
Prescription: 10 reps


5. 3-Way Pushup
Why It Works: By doing three sets of 10 pushups in three consecutive different positions, we’re amping up this workout quickly while challenging our chest and shoulders from three angles.
How to Do It: Do 10 traditional pushups (hands directly below the shoulders) followed by 10 “diamond” pushups (index fingers and thumbs touching), followed by 10 wide-grip pushups (hands wider than the shoulders)
Prescription: 10 reps of each


6. Straight Leg Lowering
Why It Works: This hamstring stretch also challenges the muscles of the chest and torso.
How to Do It: Lie flat on your back with arms at your sides and legs straight up above your hips. Keeping one leg straight, slowly lower the other to just above the floor. Return to starting position and repeat. The key is to keep your toes pointed toward your shins and your back flat on the floor.
Prescription: 10 reps per side

7. Burpee
Why It Works: This full-body, push-up-like exercise gives you all the benefits of pushups while also challenging your cardiovascular system and ratcheting up the intensity of your workout, which is especially important when you only have 15 minutes.


How to Do It: From a standing position, squat, place you hands on the ground, and “jump” your feet out into a push-up position. Perform a pushup and then jump your feet to your hands. Then jump as high as you can, throwing your hands over your head.
Prescription: 10 reps


Good to keep fit.

IPhones a are undoubtedly among the most demanded exotic phones every body wants handy.this is where the economist's theory comes in.when the consumption rate is high and resources isn't equal to demand,this gives birth to what is called a close substitute. Here we arebtaljing about the counterfeit or fake iPhones, how to distinguish and identify. The packaging is one of the first features that can make the situation a bit fishy. The outside might look exactly like the original packaging; however, it’s usually made of a bit cheaper material. Sometimes when opening these boxes, the phone is in a plastic wrap, rather than its distinct pull off tabs. There may also be product instructions with giant foreign characters. The genuine boxes also tend to have information such as the model, description of the phone, the country name where it is manufactured, serial number and a bar code that ensures this is a genuine product. A knock off box won’t include these extra details ab...

Ishola Oyenusi: Nigeria’s Deadly Armed Robber Who Smiled To His Death

there is no way you can talk of names like shins Rambo,George otaku and avoiding ogujobi,the likes of ishola oyenusi can't be exempted. Ishola Oyenusi, popularly known as Doctor Oyenusi, was a notorious armed robber who terrorized the people of Lagos and other neighboring cities in the 1970s. Ishola Oyenusi and his gang of six were highly skilled in snatching cars, robbing banks, factories, stores and killing people like chickens. Doctor Oyenusi, as he was called, was not a doctor by profession but adopted the title for the fun of it. The evidence lies in a confession he made few minutes before his execution. He confessed that his parents were not capable of furthering his secondary school education and that was what forced him into robbery. So without having a secondary school education, Oyenusi by no way could have been a medical doctor. Oyenusi started off his robbery career by snatching a car (whose owner died in the process) just because his (Oyenusi) girl...
