If you’re new to the world of fitness, you’ll be pleased to know that all you need for many workouts is some open space – something you’ll have plenty of if you’re yet to unpack. However, using equipment can also be made easy in your new home.

There are five main elements of physical fitness which can all be taken care of without visiting a gym.

Cardiovascular Endurance

Any exercise that gets your heart racing falls under cardiovascular endurance, and this is arguably the simplest form of fitness. Here are a few ideas for at-home exercise that doesn’t require any extra equipment:

  • Running up/down the stairs
  • Do laps of your backyard (if it’s big enough)
  • Follow a home-friendly online routine

Muscular Strength/Endurance

The first thing that comes to mind when building your muscular strength is probably weight-lifting. There are plenty of weights that can be bought for use at home but you don’t even have to go that far, especially if you’re a beginner.

In fact, plenty of items found around your new home can be used as makeshift weights, including paint cans, gallon jugs (not empty ones!), and even boxes of laundry detergent.

For muscular endurance, exercises like push-ups, squats, or sit-ups are extremely effective and don’t even require equipment.

Flexibility

If you have a phone and a yoga mat, you can follow one of the hundreds of yoga or pilates videos on YouTube to improve your flexibility. Having just moved house, there should also be plenty of empty counters and other raised surfaces that you can practice some stretches on too.

Body Composition

This refers to the percentage of fat, muscle, bone, etc in your body. If your body fat is too high, there are exercises you can do to improve your body composition, many of which can be completed in your new home. These include burpees, planks, and sit-ups, all of which are easy to do anywhere and don’t require extra equipment.

Wrap-Up

With all this in mind, it’s important to also remember that you can’t outrun a bad diet. Good nutrition is a key part of your overall physical fitness so, when you’re all settled in your new house, be sure to focus on this too.

In the meantime, these tips will help you stay fit in your new house in ways that are easy, cheap, and accessible.
