Twisted Hop and Swap

Engage your core and burn calories with this energetic exercise. To do this, stand with your feet hip-width apart and your arms at a right-angle by your side. Rotate your upper body to the right, then jump up and simultaneously rotate your legs rightwards while shifting your upper body to the left. During landing, allow your knees slightly bend to absorb the shock. Repeat and switch sides for a fast-paced one-minute workout. Ensure your back stays upright throughout.

Reverse Lunges with Skyward Lifts

This move targets your legs, arms, and core. Hold a weight in front of your body, step back with one foot while lunging and lift the weight over your head. Return to the start position and repeat with the other leg, keeping your upper body upright as you land.

Bouncy Ball V-Ups

Elevate your workout with balance and core-strengthening moves. Place your feet on a stability ball, hands on the floor and maintain a straight line among your shoulders, hips, and feet. Roll the ball towards your hands while pushing your hips upwards, before returning to the start position.

Forward Lunge to Solo Stance

To do forward lunge to solo stance, start with feet hip-width apart. Lunge forwards with your left leg, then as you lift up, push off with your left leg into a single-leg stand by balancing on your right leg. Repeat 12 times on each side.

Kneeling Ball Roll Outs

Kneel on the floor behind a stability ball. Place your elbows and forearms on the ball, then lean forward while rolling out the ball using your arms. Pull your arms back in until your elbows are under your shoulders, all while maintaining a straight line from knees to shoulders.

Coiled Band Sit-ups

Attach a resistance band to a secure point. Lay down with your back on the floor, hold the band’s ends with your hands by your ears.
Lift your head and shoulders off the ground, pulling on the band. Lower yourself with control, supporting your neck with your hands if necessary.

Band Sidestep Shuffle

Step on a resistance band and cross it over your legs. Holding the ends, step sideways four steps to the right, then four steps to the left. Look ahead and keep your spine upright throughout.

Dual-Limb Stretches

Dual-limb stretches start by lying flat on the floor. Lift your head and shoulders, tuck your knees and stretch your arms above your head and legs out to a 45-degree angle. Breathe out, move your arms in a semi-circle and tuck your knees in, holding onto your shins. Repeat for maximum abdominal engagement.

With these expert-approved and rewarding exercises, you can transform your homely surroundings into a vibrant workout haven. Remember, regular exercise combined with healthy nutrition will lead to the best results. Now it’s time to get started!
