Sometimes, attending a gym might be difficult because of tight or irregular schedule, etc. In this case, you can resort some simple exercises that do not require any specific equipment.



1. Jumping jack 

This is a great exercise that will work your hands, legs and thigh muscles. 

Stand with your feet placed together, and arms at your sides. This is the starting position. Now tuck in your abs and jump by bending your knees. At the same time, move your feet apart, as much as you can. At the same time, raise your hand to bring them in line with your shoulder. Land on your feet, back to the starting position, and jump again.

2.Jogging 

You do not need to have or jogging track to perform this exercise. Jogging at one place is also an effective option.


Its a good exercise for your legs. Moreover it is one of the classic cardiovascular workouts. Make sure you wear jogging footwear even at home, to avoid any stress on your feet. Also, you can increase your jogging duration and speed gradually.


3.Rotational Exercises

You can also perform V crunch or reverse crunch, which are useful for strengthening the abdominal muscles.
