Something happens and your carefully constructed plans vanish in smoke. What&#8217;s an intrepid gym rat to do? Don&#8217;t worry, there are many things you can do at home that will give you a great workout, even if you don&#8217;t have access to free weights or a treadmill! Here are some great options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Power of 50<\/strong> &#8211; 50 squats, 50 push ups, 50 sit ups and 50 lunges. It&#8217;s guaranteed to get your blood moving!<!--more--><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Birth Date Dash<\/strong> &#8211; One my friends invented this, and I thought it was too easy. Until I did it. Add up the numbers in your birth year. In my case, 1969 would be: <em>1+9+6+9 = 25<\/em>. Now, run that number of flights of steps. (This is really good for you if you were born in any year that ends in a 9, and not so good if you were born in, say 2000.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wall Work<\/strong> &#8211; Create a rotation of counter push ups and tricep dips facing away from the counter, and then rotate it with jumping lunges. Aim to do each set for a minute without stopping, and do 3-5 sets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Burpees<\/strong> &#8211; Possibly one of the most effective exercises ever, and the one I hate the most. Start by standing, drop to a squat, jump out to push up position, complete one push up, jump your legs back in, and explode up, clapping your hands above you as you do a jumping jack. That&#8217;s one. Shoot for 25!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Jump Rope<\/strong> &#8211; If in doubt, and you only have five minutes, <a title=\"jump rope workout\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/01\/the-ultimate-jump-rope-workout\/\" target=\"_self\">jump rope<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are lots of exercises you can do at home, and most don&#8217;t require any equipment, no <a title=\"workout dvd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/topics\/workout-dvds\/\" target=\"_self\">DVDs<\/a> or even YouTube demonstrations.
