In today’s article, we present to you 10 exercises that you can do at home and still achieve great results as going to the gym. The best way is to find a particular time in the day and make the exercise a routine. Overall it won’t take you much time but in a matter of weeks, you will see the changes.
If you want to burn belly fat faster, I recommend strength training at least two to three times a week. You can incorporate the following five exercises as a full-body workout, or mix them into your training days.
Dumbbell Row
- Place your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees and lean your upper body forward from the hips up.
- keep your spine neutral and don’t round your lower back. The hands should be straight below the shoulders.
- Now bend your elbows back as you raise your arms up to the sides of your chest (shoulder blades should be pulling toward each other).
- Slowly lower the weights in a controlled motion and feel the tension in your triceps.
- Repeat 15 times.
Dumbbell shoulder squats
- Stand up, holding a pair of dumbbells on your shoulders.
- Keep your head up, brace your abs, push your hips back, and bend your knees.
- Slowly lower your body into a squat, hands by your sides.
- Hold this position for a few seconds.
- Then push back up to the starting position.
- Perform between 8 and 12 repetitions.
Overhead arm press
Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Grab the dumbbells with your palms facing up.
Raise both arms first to shoulder height and then up above your head.
Carefully lower your arms back to the starting position.
Do 20 repetitions.
Bulgarian split squat
- Get into a split stance with your right foot forward and your left foot raised on a bench behind you.
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your elbows close to your body.
- Inhale and lower your left knee (back knee) toward the ground while keeping your torso upright.
- Exhale and push your right foot (front foot) toward the ground to return to the starting position.
- Complete 10 repetitions and then switch legs. Complete three sets with each leg.
Kettlebell swing
- You have to start standing with your legs wider than the width of your hips and with both hands holding the kettlebell between your legs and then you have to slightly bend your knees.
- Next, you have to lean your chest forward, swing the kettlebell back between your legs and then push your hips forward until you’re in a standing position. And then simultaneously throw your arms straight out in front of you while keeping a firm grip on the dumbbell and repeat.
- You have to make sure that you are pushing your hips back and forth; these are push-ups, not squats.
- Complete between 15-20 swings.
