It is the perfect time to get the most out of our house. Although we are not allowed to go out, this does not mean that we cannot play sports inside the house, in fact, there are many ways to keep fit without leaving home.
There are some exercises that require special material to be able to do them, but the vast majority can be adapted so that we can do them at home without any problem.
If you want to buy some basic material to be able to stay in shape from home, we recommend a pair of dumbbells (which can be replaced by bottles or jugs of water), a mat, a pull-up bar, an inflatable ball, a step and a jump rope. With this, you will have more than enough, but as you already know, there are many exercises without equipment that you can do with only your own body weight.
That said, let’s see what are the ways to exercise without leaving home:
HIIT exercise:
Hiit is a high intensity training, it helps to train the whole body in a short time, it is perfect for people who need intense training and who have little time to train. It is true that you have to have a good level of physical fitness to be able to follow these video sessions, but the benefits it brings are worth the effort. In our online gym we have a Hiit training room where you can choose the sessions that you like the most to exercise at home. You can combine these sessions with other high-intensity sessions such as tabata or crossfitness.
Yoga sessions at home:
Yoga is one of the best sports disciplines, it is recommended both for people who are starting to train and those who are used to doing high-intensity training that we mentioned in the previous section. It is a perfect exercise to relieve stress, improve elasticity, tone muscles, connect body and mind, meditate… Like all disciplines, it has several levels of difficulty, choose the one that best suits yours and start doing yoga exercises at home with ictive
A little cardio dancing:
When we talk about sports, the first image that usually comes to mind is exercises with weights, running, football, basketball, going to the gym or swimming, dancing is not usually one of the first options, but it is perfect to do at home, you just have to put on some music and let yourself go. You don’t need extra material and it can be done anywhere.
If you are looking for guided classes, you can do any of our sessions inside the Tonodance room, it will help you strengthen the cardiovascular system to the rhythm of music. You can also enter the aerobics room, if you are one of the most daring, try belly dancing, we will teach you step by step from 0 so you can learn all the movements of this discipline.
Sign up for our live sessions:
In the Live section you will see the weekly planning with the live classes that we have scheduled. Live sessions will help you stay motivated for training and meet more people who are training at home.
Choose a training plan:
If you prefer to follow a pattern of daily exercises to achieve your goals, choose the training plan that best suits them and do the exercises that apply every day. This is a very good option for those who don’t know where to start or what are the best exercises for them. In each training plan you will see the days a week that you have to train. They usually last between 4 and 8 weeks. When you finish it, you can do another one or do the exercises in the training rooms. You can combine them with stretching or yoga sessions, but it is very important that you respect the rest days so that your muscles can recover and grow.
Complete your exercises with a good diet:
Exercising is not everything, in order to lead a healthy lifestyle and be able to achieve your sports goals, you must eat a healthy and balanced diet, which provides essential nutrients to your body and gives it the necessary strength every day to be able to do exercises and follow your rhythm of life. In the diet section you can choose between an anti-stress, cardiovascular or strengthening diet. Each of these diets is focused on a specific goal, you must follow it to achieve yours. Remember that diets should not be something temporary, but should always be part of your lifestyle, you should always eat healthy (from time to time you can give yourself a whim), you should not leave them when you achieve a goal, when you whatever you do, keep eating healthy.
Thanks to all these tips, you will be able to find the best ways to train at home, now you no longer have excuses not to train.
