Easy Floor Workouts
March 13, 2009
If you do not have the time or money to join a gym, follow these easy floor exercises to lose weight. Floor exercises offer a simple and effective way to lose weight from the comfort, privacy and convenience of your home. They do not require heavy or expensive equipment but they will bring results nonetheless.
Since you are performing the floor exercises at home unsupervised, take care when doing them so you do not cause injury to yourself by performing a movement incorrectly. It is best to warm up your muscles prior to beginning every exercise routine.
First, lie on your back with your hands placed on the sides of your head. Slowly raise your legs to a forty-five degree angle. Mimic the motion of riding a bicycle. Go through ten rotations of each leg.
While on your back bend your knees so that your feet are flat on the floor. Cross your hands over your chest. Squeeze your lower stomach muscles until you feel it. Hold this position for thirty seconds. Perform ten reps. This exercise works your abdominal muscles and flattens your stomach.
Bring yourself into a kneeling position with your hands on your thighs. Extend your arms behind your back and clasp hands. With your hands clasped, raise your arms high behind your back, release and perform ten more times. This works to stretch your body as well as exercise it.
Lie on your stomach on the floor. Make sure your body is straight. Raise your right leg and the opposite arm in the air. Try to grab your right foot with your left hand. Your head should be slightly elevated so as to avoid putting strain on your neck. Continue with the opposite side and do five more reps.
Kneel on the floor on your hands and knees. You will perform a modified push-up. While the original push-up has a stronger affect, the modified push-up will also help you build more muscle and burn fat. It is just less stressful on your body than the original push-up and much easier to learn. As your body grows stronger, attempt the original push-up.
