Best at-home exercises?

[Littlett25]

My basement is being re-done & and all my equipment is covered up (except for some 10lb dumbbells upstairs) I need some body-weight exercises or something that will actually make me feel like I'm working out! Thanks in advance.

Thanks you! Looks like I'll be doing lots of push-ups!

[Phoenix98]

Lol yup, and any of the exercises I mentioned that can be used with weights or need to be like the curls or lunges can be used with the two 10lbs dumbbells that you have. And trust me the pushups will overall with your upper body, chest, arms, shoulders to a degree.

I'm not even going to botger answering, phoenix got it perfect!

[BelleGirl21]

*bother

[Littlett25]

Yeah I'll try to use those even though I barely use those ever lol. Something is better than nothing!

[Phoenix98]

@BelleGirl21 lol thanks.

Asker you really should use em, if you don't use dumbbells, if you were just referring to the lighter weight ones you have though well they are better then nothing.

[Littlett25]

Yup, I meant they are lighter than I normally use. Thanks for all the help!

[Phoenix98]

Ah I see.

[Phoenix98]

Lol thank you for the MHO.

Can you get "Insanity" it's really good, you don't need to buy any extra equipments for it. I've been doing it for a while on top of going to the gym and it always kicks my butt lol

[Littlett25]

I'm not sure but thanks!

[zorro8888]

You can find it online that is if you know how to download things like that :o

[Climber]

Push-ups you can do all the time in different combinations so you exercise triceps, shoulder and chest. If you have a kind of bar (or a good tree branch), you can do all kinds of pull-ups to exercise biceps, shoulder and back. If you find something heavy you can take into your neck (brother/sister?), you can squatt with it or take on your hands and bench press it. And you have a variety of abs exercises, front and side. Ideas enough if you are creative with furniture and creatures around you.

[Littlett25]

Lmao I'd could try and squat my brother, thanks!
