Proper form and technique for home workouts
Bicycle
- Lay down on the floor and cycle your legs in the air for fifteen to thirty minutes as if you were riding a bicycle.
- It might not be as much fun as taking a ride in the fresh air, but on the bright side, you can do it in front of your TV while enjoying your favorite show.
- You can also try a few crunches, scissor kicks, leg lifts, or other floor exercises you might think of while you’re down there.

Stairs
If you have stairs in your home, or even one stair, just get stepping.
You will want to step up and down one stair for a considerable time, again probably anywhere from fifteen minutes to half an hour, so think about turning on some music to help you stay motivated.

Dance
Dancing is a great way to exercise indoors. Since you are in the privacy of your own home, you do not have to worry about anyone else judging your moves.
Find a clear space, crank up the tunes, and let loose. Dancing is a great way to have fun and burn calories at the same time.

Jumping
If you haven’t used a jump rope since you were a kid, you might be surprised at what a great workout it is – both in terms of cardio and for your lower body.
If you do not happen to have a jump rope lying around when the next rain storm hits, you can always settle for doing a few jumping jacks – also guaranteed to get your heart pumping.

Hallway Lunges
- Find the longest hall in your house and start at one end.
- Do a forward lunge, but then instead of stepping back, step forward.
- Then lunge forward with your opposite leg and step forward again.
- Continue until you reach the end of the hall. Then turn around and come back.
