I have been looking for fat burning workouts I can do at home since the gym is no longer an option. In the wake of the COVID-19 virus, several preventive measures are being put in place to curb its spread and one of this measures is the stay at home order which has confined many people to the four walls of their homes. This is why we need to find some fat burning workouts we can do at home.
While gyms are also closed as a result of the lockdown, this doesn’t mean that you can’t do fat burning workouts at home. Actually, participating in physical activities while staying at home can help you stay healthy and fit.
5 Fat-Burning Workouts that you can do at Home
1. Mountain Climbers Exercise
This workout do not need any equipment and it is very easy to carry out. All you need to do is get into a plank position, then pull your right knee towards your chest as far as you can, then switch and do the same to the left knee. When doing this exercise, always make sure your weight is evenly distributed between your toes and hands.
2. Jumping Jacks
Although this is a common warm-up exercise, it is also an effective way for burning fat. You can do this by standing uprightly with your arms to your sides’ then jump and spread your feet apart while bringing your arms above your head almost touching; jump again and lower your arms to your sides with your legs coming together.
3. Jackknife Sit-ups
All you need for this exercise is a mat; lie flat on the mat with your arms lifted above your head, neutralize your spine position such that it isn’t rounded or arched. Make sure your legs are kept straight and take a deep breath. On your exhale, bring your legs up into a V-shape (lift about 35-4 degree away from the floor), at the same time bring your hands up so that they are parallel to your lifted legs. When doing this, the upper part of your body should be slightly raised. Lower your back and do this repeatedly.
4. Squat Jumps
This is a plyometric exercise that can help you burn calories effectively. One of the best wonderful fat burning workouts you can do at home. You can do this exercise by beginning with a squat: gently lower your hips back, bend your knees; ensure you keep your chin up, chest upright and your head facing forward; now jump up, then lower your body back into your former squat position. When doing this workout, always use your whole feet to jump and not just your toes.
5. Jump Lunges
One of my favorite fat burning workouts…jump lunges is known to strengthen muscles and can also help to burn a significant amount of calories if done right. To do this workout, lunge your left leg forward and bring your right arm forward with your left arm going to the back, make sure your elbows are bent at 90 degrees. As you lunge, jump into the air, and switch positions as you land. Make sure you also switch your arms.
The main key to achieving a reasonable amount of weight loss during this stay-at-home period is to correctly utilize the above workouts, maintain focus and be consistent.
