Do you have an idea of having a fitness routine and now you are a bit lost on where to start? Don't worry, you're not alone. We all desire to get fit but just we do not know how and where to begin to get fit. The best part? You do not require a big machine or even a lot of space. With simple exercises at home and a certain push, you will soon be able to exercise at your living room, even with only a single yoga mat or a piece of a bedsheet on the floor.

Why At-Home Workouts?

Exercises at home are ideal when people have full schedules, limited financial means, and those who do not want to see a crowd at the gym. To those in Indian households, it is even more convenient, as one can do exercises during the middle of daily tasks, when watching TV, or even in the early morning, when the rest of the house is asleep!

I started only simple exercises at my place. That itself made me feel energetic and provided more confidence, improved mood and healthier days.

A Little Motivation from Me

At the beginning of my work I used to feel so stupid to squat on the floor because of my personal room, but after some time that exercise became one more activity I do every day, just like brushing my teeth. On days when I did not feel like exercising, I would just engage myself to two minutes. Frequently the two minutes turned into ten or fifteen!

Keep in mind you need not to be perfect, you merely have to be consistent.
