Not everyone enjoys the gym environment—and that’s okay. You can build decent fitness at home with almost no equipment.
Start with bodyweight basics: squats, wall push-ups or regular push-ups (or on knees), lunges, glute bridges, and simple core exercises like dead bugs or easy planks. These target big muscle groups and don’t need much space.
Add low-impact cardio you enjoy: marching in place, light jogging in the room, dancing to music, step-ups on a stable stool or stair. Even 10–15 minutes can get your heart rate up.
Use household items as weights—water bottles, backpacks with books, or filled containers—for light resistance.
The key is consistency, not perfection. Aim for 20–30 minutes a few times a week to start, and slowly build duration or intensity. It’s better than planning a big routine and then doing nothing.
If you have medical issues, joint pain, or long-term conditions, it’s wise to check with a doctor or physiotherapist before starting anything new.
