Household Workout

There is a variety of ways to get a workout right in your house using common objects! That's right, you can get in shape using laundry detergent. Here I've collected a few ideas from across the web to get some ideas rolling in your head.

First is the stair climb:

" If you have a set of stairs in your house, you have an array of exercises--right at your feet.

   

Challenge: Try loading a laundry basket up with clothes and place a container of detergent on top. Hike up and down the stairs with that load. You just created a cardio workout with weights. "

Here are a couple of more ideas:

"Use a chair for dips Any chair you've got can be used for dips. Place hands on both front corners of the seat, extend your legs, bend your elbows to lower yourself down, then straighten your arms to raise yourself back up. Dips are great for triceps, and you can even catch up on Netflix while doing it! 

And for incline push-ups A chair can also be useful to add a twist to your typical push-up. Placing your hands on the seat and extending your legs, you can now perform an incline push-up, lowering your chest to the chair, then raising yourself back up. Unlike our buddy above, you don't need to look like you're whispering secrets to it. But we recommend it." source: https://www.thrillist.com/home/10-ways-you-can-use-household-objects-to-work-out-diy-home-gym

These are some great ideas to look at and try out! Now, these are just a few examples of what can be done around your home. I encourage you to go look at different types of exercises to do in your own home and give them a shot. By doing this you are embodying the spirit of martial conditioning and preparing yourself to become a new and better you! Before you do this consult a physician and make sure you are good to do this type of physical activity! Bottom line, go out there and have fun but challenge yourself!
