ESPWhen the temperatures (or wind) make going outside to get a workout more challenging, you can do some of these activities right in your living room
• Bodyweight circuits are easy to build and require almost no equipment. Squats, pushups, lunges, and planks involve simple moves that target major muscle groups and support both strength and heart health. You can follow online videos, fitness influencers on social media, or create your own routine.
• Yoga or Pilates can both help improve your overall fitness. Research suggests that yoga can help you improve your strength, flexibility, and balance. Pilates can improve strength and flexibility as well.
• Dance Workout research consistently suggests that dancing can help with weight loss for those with overweight or obesity. There are many types of dances that can help you achieve your fitness goals. Just a few examples include Zumba, salsa, and hip-hop.
You may be able to do some types of dances like Zumba at home, but there are fitness classes available if you prefer adding a social aspect to your workout. Some other types of dances like salsa may be more suited to in-person classes.
• Indoor Cycling and Treadmill Running Research suggests that indoor cycling can help you increase your aerobic fitness as well as many blood markers like your lipid levels and glucose levels. Treadmill running is perfect when you still want a cardio challenge but don’t want to deal with the cold. As with other forms of running, treadmill running can potentially help you improve your endurance and heart health.
