Yoga

Yoga, meaning ‘yoke’ in Sanskrit, is a family of ancient spiritual practices originating in India. Today, yoga is integrated with other medical practices for the purpose of therapeutic healing. Its effects can help various disorders such as digestion, diabetes, back pain, arthritis, anxiety and depression. Other benefits include increase in flexibility, increase in lubrication of the ligaments, joints and tendons, the massaging of body organs, muscle toning and detoxification. This is a great way to get in shape without the use of uncomfortable equipment.

Pilates

The Pilates Method is a physical fitness system that was developed in the early 20 th century by Joseph Pilates. This method, which he called Contrology, referred to the use of the mind to control the muscles. This program focuses on the core postural muscles that keep the body balanced and the spine strong.

Benefits from this exercise include a healthy spine, gentle conditioning, improved mental outlook, increased motivation, better balance, more coordination, and less pain and stiffness. These benefits makes this one of the best equipment free exercises you can do. Do not expect results right away. Pilates takes time and dedication. With this said, if you’re patient, you will see changes in stability, coordination, faster recovery from injuries, relief of pain, strength and stamina. Overall, Pilates is a great way to get in shape without putting too much strain on your body.

Cardio

Cardiovascular exercise increases the work of the heart and lungs. Forms of cardio include, running, jogging and walking. Benefits from cardio range from reduced risk of heart disease, improved heart function, reduced risk of osteoporosis, improved muscle mass and improved blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

In order for you to reap the benefits of cardio, your workout should be sustained for at least 20 minutes, three to four times a week. A personal trainer will help you find the optimal intensity level for the results you desire. Cardio elevates your pulse--the higher the pulse rate, the higher amount of calories and fat being burned.

Although cardio is beneficial, it can get boring after a while. Your in-home personal trainer will add variety to your workout, so you don’t lose motivation!

Strength Training

Sometimes it can be more beneficial to use weights while strength training, but there are ways to work around it. Your trainer can show you the proper way to do squats, lunges, pushups and other alternatives for a weight-free workout. Resistance bands are also a great tool for strength training.

Conclusion

There are many ways to get fit by using equipment free exercises. Find what works best for you and stick with it. If all else fails, hire an in-home personal trainer to help you get the results you want.
