I like to fit workouts into my busy schedule by turning my daily routine into one. Want to tone your calves? Do calve raises while brushing your teeth, washing dishes, preparing dinner or standing in a line somewhere. Need to gain some leg strength? Skip steps when walking up stairs, do a squat when picking up things off of the floor, or do lunges while vacuuming! Even a random dance party while taking a shower is exercising! Who doesn't love a dance party?
In my spare time, I like to look up new workouts. I have one that I found on StumbleUpon that I do every morning before taking a shower. Sites such as StumbleUpon, YouTube, and Pinterest are great places to find workouts that are realistic for beginners. I highly recommend for anyone who is converting their lifestyle to find a good beginner workout to follow. If you're someone who doesn't like to go to the gym, there is a plethora of home workouts on the web! Don't use not liking the gym as an excuse not to workout.
Personally, I have the mindset that if I am not sweating after a workout then I didn't go hard enough. I go 110% in my workouts so that I develop a nice sweat. I make myself EARN my shower after a workout. If I can finish a workout and look decent enough to go out after, then I didn't put in enough effort while doing my workout. Always push yourself and keep your goals in mind.
I have linked two beginner videos, one for women and one for men, that I feel are great no-gym workouts for beginners. Try one and enjoy!
