Strength Training From Home: Get Stronger With These Simple Exercises

The Best and Simplest at home Strength Exercises

Most strength workouts require equipment and are very hard to execute by a beginner, so I found the best and easiest strength exercises for you to start doing today!

Even if you are having trouble doing these exercises and can't do them very long, DONT WORRY the more you do them the better you get and the stronger you become. If you start noticing how easy the workouts are getting after a couple weeks that means you are getting stronger.

If you already have a routine and don't have one of these in it, you should add one right now, TRUST ME.

Squats

Squats help build your leg muscles (quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves), squats also help your balance. Squats also burn weight, so you can't go wrong with squats.

How To Do Squats:

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart
2. Lower your hips into a squat as you bend your knees and keep your back straight.
3. Continue to lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
4. Push into the floor through your heels to return to start.

Push-Up

We all know and love push-ups but this is probably the best exercise and should be in every workout routine due to how it improves upper body strength. There are different types of push-ups but we are going to be sticking with the traditional push-up for now.

How To Do Push-Ups:

1. Start in a plank position with your palms directly under your shoulders.
2. Keeping your back straight, lower your body by bending your elbows until your chest almost touches the floor.
3. Immediately push your body back up to the starting position.
4. Repeat.

Chair Dips/Tricep Dips

This exercise can be done literally anywhere you don't even need a chair, just something to hold on to. This exercise improves triceps, core/abs, and arm strength.

How To Do Chair Dips/Tricep Dips:

1. Get a chair and face away from the seat of the chair.
2. Place your hands on the chair, still facing the opposite direction.
3. Keep your chest elevated and head up, do not bend your knees past your toes.
4. Slowly lower your body
5. Extend your arms and raise your body upward.
6. Repeat.
   

Arm Circles

This exercise improves the shoulder, back, and biceps. It may look like the easiest one on the list but after a couple reps, it really starts working.

How To Do Arm Circles:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and extend your arms sideways or parallel to the floor
2. Circle your arms forward, gradually making the circles bigger
3. Reverse the circles after 10-15 seconds
