At Home Exercises for Beginners

None of us are the same, nor do we require the same exact workouts. But most of us all have a few things in common. 

What's Around Us

If you're trying to get back in the swing of working out, then read on courageous friend.

These bad boys go into jail and come out looking cut! It's jail. If they can do it in a tiny cell, then surely can I in my 2,000 sq ft house. 
They can't just go to Target and buy the Martha Stewart workout set or join a Rainbow Run with their BFFs. And guess what Shopping Shannon- you don't need yoga mats or waist trainers or resistance bands or or or....
Plus, the more I thought about it,  the more I realized I have quite a lot in common with these caged bad guys. Kinda. 

When you're sick, when you're tired, when you 're depressed, you're caged. You haven't committed the crime, but you're doing the time. (Everybody in jail is innocent anyway.)
You're caged from the life you could have, but if you do the time, when you come out, you'll be prepared to take on the world. 

Here are some great beginner exercises you can do anytime. 

Canned Food: 
If you have a can of beans in your pantry you can workout. 

Lift food cans for biceps and triceps training. 

---

Gallons of Milk:
Holding the handle, put your arm at a 90 degree angle and lift. 

---

Juice Bottles: 
Grasp and hold the container in front of you with both hands making sure your elbows are bent. 

---

Laundry Detergent Bottles: 
Stand tall and hold the bottle in your right/left hand, letting it hang at your side. Allow your waist to bend and hinge slowly feeling the weight of the bottle, then raise yourself up again. 

---

Oven or Dresser: 
Practice standing for two minutes. This may take time to develop, but will give you better balance and core strength. 

These everyday things in our everyday lives can give us more than everyday strength. Try them and see if you can keep the habit up for 30 days! And before you laugh at their simplicity, try doing 30 repetitions and get back to me. You won't be disappointed.
