15-min full-body workout at home

Posted in Fitness and tagged full body workout, at home training

Holmes at home continues with a sharable 15-min full-body workout that you can perform at home. We added descriptions to perform each exercise correctly.

15 minutes is all it takes to perform a full-body workout. Think about it: it's less than a Friends episode. Plus, you will be doing this one at home, meaning you can leave the show running. 


15-min full-body workout: Holmes at home

These simple exercises that target your whole body and will make you sweat. 



We'll start with a simple warm-up, some movements to get the body going. 30 seconds each, begin with some boxer shuffle. Take a deep breath and work those knees and legs with some high knee pulls. Warm-up your upper body and core with some torso twists and finish this section with some arm swings. We're now ready to move to our workout:



Below you can find all the indications on how to perform each exercise:


Squat 

  • Feet slightly wider than your hips and toes pointing slightly outward.
  • Arms straight out in front of you, parallel to the ground. 
  • Look straight ahead — all the time. 
  • Weight on your heels and balls of your feet and keep your core tight. 
  • Squat down until your hip joint is lower than your knees. 


Mountain climbers 

  • Get in plank position, weight evenly distributed. 
  • Hands shoulder-width apart, core engaged and head aligned. 
  • Bring your right knee into your chest as far as you can. 
  • Switch and pull the other knee in. 
  • Alternate as fast as you can — don't forget to inhale and exhale. 


Burpees

  • Standing position, feet shoulder-width apart. 
  • Lower into the squat position.
  • Place your hands on the floor in front of, and just inside, of your feet. Your hands should now carry more weight. Go down, after getting in plank position. 
  • Then, jump back up to your feet. 
  • Arms overhead and jump into the air. Repeat. 


Jumping jacks

  • Standing position with legs together and arms at your side. 
  • After bending the knees, jump into the air.
  • As you're jumping, spread your legs and stretch your arms out and over your head.
  • Repeat. 


Push-up 

  • On all fours, put your hands a bit wider than your shoulders.
  • Arms and legs should then be straight.
  • Lower the body — enough, so your chest almost touches the floor. 
  • Push yourself back up. 
  • Repeat. 


Lunge 

  • Feet hip-width apart and core engaged. 
  • Big step forward with your chosen leg and start shifting your weight forward too. 
  • Lower your body until chosen leg thigh is parallel to the floor. Keep your back straight all the time. 
  • Use the chosen front foot to push back up to starting position. 
  • Repeat with the other leg. 


Plank 

  • Place forearms on the floor.
  • Elbows aligned below shoulders.
  • Arms parallel to the body and shoulder-width apart. 
  • Engage your core and keep glutes tight too.
