\nEquipment-Free Fitness<\/span><\/p>\n


\nFitting exercise into your daily routine doesn\u2019t have to be complicated or overly time-consuming. There\u2019s a broad range of basic workouts that you can execute at home, at the office or wherever you may be that require no equipment, yet deliver a good workout. The following exercises can be incorporated into an easy and convenient routine. For a 20-minute circuit drill, repeat the entire workouts below several times.
\n<\/span>
\nWarm-Up and Cool Down<\/span>
\nWarming up before a workout prevents injuries, increases your heart rate and circulation and loosens the joints to increase blood flow to the muscles. Cool downs help avoid dizziness or fainting. They also gradually lower your heart rate and body temperature and can aid in reducing muscle soreness. Pre- and post-workouts may involve stretching or slow walking.
\n<\/span>
\n15 Jumping Jacks<\/span>
\nPlace your feet together and arms by your side. Spread feet shoulder-width apart while jumping. At the same time, raise arms until your hands meet above your head. Quickly bring feet back together and arms to side.
\nLow impact option: Tap toes to each side and return to the center without jumping.
\n<\/span>
\n10 Push-Ups<\/span>
\nPosition your hands directly under your shoulders and place your feet hip-width apart. Be sure to keep your elbows close to your body as you lower and keep your neck in line with your shoulders.
\nLow impact option: Place your knees on a mat for support.
\n<\/span>
\n10 Squat Jumps<\/span>
\nPosition your feet shoulder-width apart. Squat until your thighs are parallel with the floor. Hold arms out in front of you and push them back as you jump. Exhale as you jump and land as soft as you can.
\nLow impact option: Skip the jumping step and simply lower into a squat.
\n<\/span>
\n30-Second Plank <\/span>
\nAssume a push-up position and bend elbows at a 90-degree angle, so both forearms rest on the floor. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your feet. Tighten your glutes and your core. To increase difficulty, hold the plank for 1 minute.
\nLow impact option: Place your knees on a mat for support.
\n<\/span>
\n10 Jumping Lunges<\/span>
\nLunge as low as possible without letting your back knee touch the floor while keeping your front knee at a 90-degree angle. Switch foot positioning after each jump and be sure your torso remains upright.
\nLow impact option: Skip the jumping step and alternate lunges on the left and right side.<\/p>\n

Consult with your physician before starting any exercise routine.
