Exercising Without A Gym
It’s easy to get into an exercise rut, but circuit training is a great way to add some variety to your workout. Circuits generally involve three to four sets of several different strength and cardio exercises that can easily be done at home. Mix in exercises like jumping jacks, push-ups, sit-ups, burpees, lunges and squats. Do each exercise for 60 to 90 seconds, resting between each set. Regular circuit training can enhance endurance and lower your body mass index (BMI), a measure of body fat based on height and weight.
