How to Start Working Out at Home (For Beginners)


Working out is an essential part of life, but not everyone has the time to go to the gym after a long day of work. Whether you want to cut down on your travel time or simply don’t want to leave the house again after coming home, exercising at home is a great alternative to the usual studios and gyms. With the help of some pro tips from top podcasts about wellness, you can build healthy habits that are easy to follow in the long term.

Here’s all you need to know:


Make space

If you have the fortune of an empty room in your house, you can easily buy some cardio equipment and weights to make your own gym at home. However, most people aren’t that lucky. If you’re living in a smaller apartment, you can move your coffee table or shift your bed to the side to create some floor space for working out.

Your exercise area doesn’t have to be large or fancy; it just needs to be consistent and convenient to train your mind to prepare itself for a workout.


Find a comfortable program

Time and motivation are two things you need the most when you’re starting your workout journey. It’s difficult to muster the energy to start working out, especially when you’re alone at home, and there’s no one to motivate you, such as a trainer.


Find an exercise program that you know you’re going to enjoy. It’s much more likely that you’re going to stick to an exercise regime that allows you to have fun while shedding the pounds. If you like HIIT, you can find virtual classes or free videos on YouTube with experienced trainers teaching the best moves for beginners. You can focus on weight training and cardio if you want to tone your body.

Buy basic equipment


Technically, all you really need for a great workout is your own body. Body weight exercises such as lunges, squats, and planks can help you maintain your weight and get into shape. If you’re thinking of taking things up a notch, you can get a mat, resistance bands, or dumbbells.
