The Home Fitness Plan for Healthy Weight Loss in Houston

Getting to the gym to improve your strength, performance and/or healthy weight loss in Houston can be troublesome for some people. Home fitness is definitely a doable option for those that are unable to afford or get to the gym. No, it doesn't require getting any of the gimmicky fitness equipment on television either. In fact, it can be accomplished with very minimal supplies and for a very low cost, if any. Let's explore the home options for enhanced strength, performance and/or healthy weight loss in Houston.

Exercise Selection and Equipment Needs

  1. Squat - The squat exercise is a very necessary movement in almost any program. It incorporates all the leg musculature as well as stabilization from the trunk and upper extremities.

    Equipment Needs - None to flex bands or a suitable household item for external resistance.

  2. Chin Up - This movement is great for producing upper body strength. It's main emphasis is on the back musculature with help from the arms, or the pulling muscles. It also requires trunk stability.

    Equipment Needs - Chin Up bar and possibly a flex band or household item.

  3. Push Up - Push Ups are great for all the pressing muscles of the upper body and require stabilization from the trunk. The triceps, shoulders and chest musculature are all involved in this movement.

    Equipment Needs - None to flex bands.

  4. Split Squat - This is the first progression in single leg exercises. It hits all the major muscles of the leg and helps to reduce/eliminate strength discrepancies between limbs. Upper body stabilization is also required in performing this movement.

    Equipment Needs - None to stretch bands or household items for external resistance.

  5. Step Up - The step up is another single leg variation that can have a very positive effect on the muscles of the posterior chain. Just make sure to pull the toes up on the bottom foot before stepping. Otherwise, the lower leg helps too much.

    Equipment Needs - Something sturdy to step on and possibly some household items for resistance.

  6. Row - The row is a great movement for the upper back musculature as well as the scapular stabilizers.

    Equipment Needs - Flex bands to general household items can be used for resistance.

  7. Leg Curls - No, I'm not talking about the leg curl machine you see at the gym. I'm referring to the kind that uses the glutes and low back in conjunction with the hamstrings.

    Equipment Needs - A towel on a slippery floor or a stability ball.

  8. Bridge - The bridge is a very basic trunk stability movement. This also can/should be done on each side.

    Equipment Needs - None to a stability ball.

  9. V Up - The V Up is a combination of movement of the more traditional flexion work with stabilization. I like it a lot because it's kind of a 2-in-1 exercise.

    Equipment Needs - None to household items for external resistance.

  10. Foam Roller - Yes, this is equipment, but it does so much for such a small price and can keep your home fitness plan rolling.
