Home Exercise Challenges.

Posted by Zuzana - BodyRock.Tv | In All Videos, All Workouts, Featured Articles, Today's Workout

Hi guys,

We wanted to take a minute and share these mini exercise challenges that we just started to do around the house. The basic idea is to set up an exercise point at frequently trafficked areas throughout your house, so that when you pass by, or enter you have to do a few reps of whatever exercise you have chosen for that area. We run through some examples from our house in the video. Setting this up can be a lot of fun, and you can get really creative with it. This challenge is not designed to take a lot of time – each challenge could take less than a minute, but over the course of a day the reps do add up and make a difference. This is perfect if you are going to be around the house for long stretches at a time. The more active you are, the faster progress you can expect to make, and all of these little things have a surprising way of adding up. If you set up some of your own home exercise challenges be sure and share them in the comments (we will post your suggestions once the new site launches this month).

See you guys soon with a new workout,

Zuzana & Freddy

    Awesome idea w/home challenges. Thanks for always keeping everyone in mind w/your workouts, from the beginners to stay at home moms, was one for 5yrs and 40lbs overweight, wish i had those home challenges then,started spinning about 5mths now and your workouts and i have lost 25lbs, still need to shed those last 10 and tone up. It’s a GREAT idea, sure the kids will want to get in on it, it’s good to make them aware of good health and excersise at an early age.You are so much more than a hot chic,thank you to you and Freddy for your commitment!

    This is a great idea. I used to do this when I was back in school. I used to go to the gym then and when I was home, whenever I went out or in my room I used to do 10-20 pull ups. Also several times during the day I would do push ups and bicep curls with kettle bells.

    This made a huge difference in my strength and body shape, so thanks for reminding me to do them again.

    Also a few months I used to push ups every time I found myself around the kitchen looking for something to eat. I would get on the flour and take 40-50 push ups. That was a really good pattern killer – I didn’t want to eat anything after 50 push ups :-)

    I think this is a great idea and I immediately started with it. Since I spend most of my time in the office I will do it there. Each time when I go to the toilette I will do 5 One Leg Squats. These are really hard for me and I need to use the toilette seat to help me get back up. Whenever I leave my office and come back I will do one burpee with jump up and 5 dips at my table.
    At home I will do 5 burpees with jump up in the kitchen (I love this exercise), 5 One Leg Squats whenever I walk to my couch and I will use my bathtub to do the dips in the bathroom. This will be a lot of fun :-)

    I love this!!!! I have my chin up bar in the laundry door that is off the hallway. Not only do I do chin ups when I go into the laundry, but I do them when I go down the hallway to the bedrooms. I alternate between chin ups, wide grip pull ups and hanging knee raises. I also have my indoor bicycle in the T.V room next to my couches. If I am settling in to watch a show, I can jump on my bike for the 30 mins. Keep up the awesome website!!! It’s great. I am a Fitness Competitor who uses Plyometric type exercises with my comp preparation. Your workouts are excellent for this. Have you ever competed?? Cheers, Wendy

    I love this idea! I am a student and spend lots of time in front of my computer or just sitting around reading and this would really help me keep more active. I bought the pull up bar and dip station a couple weeks ago and now have the dip station by my computer so that I can use it every time I go to sit down. Going to set up more things around the house too!
