Complete Fat Burning Workouts From Home Guide
Who says you need a gym when you can get high intensity, quick fat burning workouts done in the comfort of your own home? The truth is, some of the best workouts around can be at home with little or no equipment.
For a few months each year, our workouts will consist of working out at home or at a park. We bring a few pieces of equipment, our own bodyweight (of course), and then get creative. And now we will teach you to do the same!
There are hundreds of fat burning exercises to choose from that don’t require you to have an expensive gym membership or fancy gadgets. Your own body is the best piece of exercise equipment. Nothing can really beat fat burning workouts that include push-ups, pull-ups, burpees, bodyweight squats, and sprints.
Those five exercises alone with bring you serious fat burning results!
So you want at-home fat burning workouts? Where to start:
In order to get the most out of your home fat burning workouts, you first must have a plan of action on how you are going to do it. Working out at home is many times more tough than going to the gym because of all the distractions. A home is a place for rest and family. A gym is a place for working out.
That said, when you are working out at home you must treat it as though you are at the gym. If you hear the laundry machine go off in the middle of your workout, there is no need for you to go change it until after your workout is done.
One of the biggest distractions you will run into is family. It seems as though every time you try and workout, someone comes running in needing you at that exact moment. Make it clear to family members that when your workout starts, you don’t want to be bothered (unless of course it is an emergency).
Eliminate distractions just as you would if you were at the gym. Three easy steps to do this are:
- Have a plan
- Pair of headphones
- Focus!
It is as easy as that!
What about equipment?
To workout from home, you don’t need the fancy infomercial gadgets or expensive equipment. In fact, you can easily build your own home gym for under $100. The only equipment I recommend for at home workouts are:
- Kettlebell
- Jump Rope
- Pull-Up Bar
Yes, that is it. A few others you should consider if you do mind spending a little extra money are: TRX Bands, a set of dumbbells, battle rope, and a Sandbag. Keep it simple though. No need to overcomplicate by purchasing all kinds of equipment.
