Today we wanted to do a different article. We want to propose a top 10 basic exercises to train at home. These exercises, of course, are not the only ones you should do to stay in shape, but they are some of the basic ones so that you can start exercising easily, with exercises that are simple to learn and that provide many benefits.

10 basic exercises to train at home:

  • Front Plank: This exercise is perfect for strengthening your entire body. It is a high intensity exercise, but with an easy-to-learn technique. You have to lie face down, resting your forearms and the tips of your feet on the ground. Keep your body straight, without lifting your hips too high. Hold on for at least 15 seconds, at first it will be hard, but little by little you will hold on longer. You can increase the time of the exercise when you get used to it.
    There are many variations you can do on this exercise. For example: when you are in the plank position, raise one arm and support the hand, then the other and support them again one after the other.
    Another variant is to do a side plank, that is, lean on one of the sides of your body.
  • Squat: This is not only one of our favorite exercises, it is also one of many of you. In addition to being very versatile, it is perfect for toning the buttocks. While standing, spread your legs hip-width apart. Bend your knees and lower your buttocks, until you form a right angle with your knees. With the thighs parallel to the ground.
    Keep your back straight, don’t round it. You can bring your arms forward to help you keep your balance.
    Some variants: grab a disc or dumbbell with your hands, to make your arms work as well. Jump squat, when you’re down, jump up and start again. Squat with lunge, after doing a squat, do a lunge.
  • Burpees: this could not be missing from our list, it is one of the most complete exercises. Start standing with your legs hip-width apart, lower your arms, and place your hands on the floor. Next, jump with your legs and stretch them, you have to be in a push-up position. Take advantage of the momentum to return them to the starting position, next to the hands and lift the trunk to stand up straight.
  • Lunges: are you ready to put your legs to work hard? We love this exercise because it is of high intensity, perfect to tone up the lower body. You have to find a space that allows you to move forward without problems. Take a step forward with your right leg, keep your left behind, bend your knees and lower your body, as if you wanted to touch the ground with your left knee, but without actually doing so. Come up and step forward with your left leg and repeat the movement.
  • Push-ups: Rest your hands and the tips of your toes on the ground. Keeping your body straight, bend your elbows and lower your trunk until you almost touch the ground. Make sure your back is straight at all times. Without raising your buttocks or shoulders too much. If you find it too difficult, rest your knees on the floor, this will relieve some of the weight that you have to move and will make the exercise easier. When you get used to it and gain strength, you can do it without supporting your knees.
  • Tricep Dips: To do this exercise you need a bench, couch, or low table. Sit with your back to the bench, legs straight, heels on the floor. Rest your hands on the edge of the bench, fingers facing toward your feet. Once in this position, force your arms and lift your hips. Once up, gently lower and repeat the movement.
  • Gluteal Bridge: Lie on your back, with your knees bent and your arms outstretched. Raise your hips, keeping your shoulders off the ground, until you make a straight line with your knees. You can stay up for 30 seconds or go down and do multiple reps.
  • Sit-ups: continue in the same position as in the previous exercise, but in this case you must put your arms behind your neck. Raise your trunk and try to touch your knees with your elbows. If you don’t arrive, nothing happens, get up as far as you can.
  • Calf raise: we have chosen this exercise because to strengthen this part of the body we need to do specific exercises and this is perfect to strengthen them. You must stand on a step or a step or similar material, so that the heels are outside the box, without being supported, in the air. Now lift your heels up and hold the position up for ar seconds.
  • The climber: you have to lie face down, in a flexed position, that is, with your hands resting on the ground and the tips of your toes. He lifts one knee and tries to touch the elbow, failing to do so. He brings it back to the starting position and do the same with the other leg.
