Step Workout at Home: Your Pathway to Better Fitness
Welcome to the world of step workouts at home. These simple yet effective exercises can become your ticket to a healthier, fitter you.
A structured sweat session performed a few days a week can help you get started.
You can eventually incorporate more advanced moves and make your exercise time longer. Here’s a sample schedule you can follow:
1. 2 minutes of marching in place or jogging.
2. Dynamic stretches such as leg swings, arm circles, and torso twists for 3 to 4 minutes.
Warm-up (5 minutes)
1. 30 seconds of running in place with more intensity (butt kickers). Try to kick your butt with your heels as you run.
Workout (5 – 6 minutes)
2. 1 minute of knee lifts. This can be done by stepping up with one leg and bringing the other knee toward your chest.
Workout (5 – 6 minutes)
3. 1 minute of running in place. This is your active recovery. Do this step while standing behind your platform as you did before
Workout (5 – 6 minutes)
4. 30 seconds of jump squats. This can be performed by jumping onto the platform with both feet and squatting, keeping your core tight.
Workout (5 – 6 minutes)
This is a 12 – 15 minute routine that you can perform 3 to 4 times during the week. Make sure you get some rest days in between and drink plenty of water
