Living Room Fitness – 2 Huge Total-Body Exercises You Can Perform Right in Your Living Room!

I want to start by saying that you don’t have to worry about buying a gym membership or fighting traffic getting to the gym in order to get into shape! If you know anything about true fitness then you know that a great portion of it can be obtained by manipulating your very own body-weight. Take a minute to learn how you can include the following 2 exercises into your personal fitness program.

1. The Burpee: This is a tremendous exercise that is an intense calisthenic. It is a great way for you to optimally utilize your own body-weight in order to make huge fitness gains! To begin the drill you will want to stand with your feet about shoulder width distance apart in length. From here you will want to squat down to place your hands on the ground in front of you. Next, kick your feet back behind you until your body is extended and you are in a standard upright push-up position. From this position perform a push-up. Finally, kick your feet back up under your body and stand up. All of these movements equal a single burpee. If you get really good at these attempt to perform 50 in a row without stopping. This is serious fat-loss and cardiovascular conditioning drill!

2. Alternate Hand Position Plyo-Push-Ups: To begin this drill get on the floor into an upright push-up position. The only detail here is to make sure that your hands are slightly narrower than shoulder width distance in length. Start with your hands in this narrower position and go down to perform a standard push-up. Upon you ascending in the push-up explosively push yourself hard enough so that your hands come off of the ground. This time when your hands come back to the floor allow the placement of your hands to be wider than shoulder width distance. This will give you a different hand placement position. Continue to perform the push-ups alternating your hand position every time. You will quickly see how this in home training program will become a serious body construction program!
