Thank you for reading and coming along with journey with me

I hope to inspire and motivate you through this series 

Today I am going to talk about how you can workout anywhere

and some of these exercises and why they are so great

especially for you busy ladies and gentleman out there

As a mom sometimes just walking up and down the stairs to do laundry 

makes me feel like I got a good workout in haha

so Here are some good exercises you can do Anywhere

more specifically in your own home 

#1 Two foot Step Jumps

Jump up and down on the stairs with two feet

 Try to do 10 without stopping and then slowly add more as it gets easy

#2 Up Up Down Downs on the steps

you are going to step up one step with your right foot 

then your left foot then down with your right and down with your left

you are going to repeat this doing it as fast as you can for 30 seconds

then as it gets easier you can up your time and your speed

#3 Stair or Stool Calf Raises

you are going to stand on a step or stool with your toes 

on the edge of the step and your heals hanging off 

you will raise up to your tippy toes and then back down and 

you will repeat try to do 15 and up to reps as it gets easier

You can also do one leg calf raises doing the same thing

but doing it while balancing on one leg at a time

#4 Lunges throughout the house

Don’t walk, lunge through your hallways

 Try this all day long and see how that bum feels the next day

#5 Wall Sits

 Stand with your feet shoulder width apart sit against the wall 

(keeping your back flat) and your knees at a 90 degree angle

Wall sit while you read, while you browse the Internet, while

you are holding the babe, while you watch TV, and even while you fold your laundry

 If it gets too easy, try going on your tippy toes

#6  Butt Abductors while you cook dinner

 While you are standing at the stove/oven making sure something doesn’t burn

 you can work your bum out

 Stand with one foot slightly in front 

while the other leg lifts directly backwards

 Do about 20 on each leg, 2x.

#7 Leg Raises while reading a book/magazine

 Sit with your back up against a wall

 bend one knee into your chest

 With the other leg lift it up and down 20 times on each leg

#8 Inner Thigh Side lifts while watching your favorite show

 Lay on your side and start to lift your leg

 start with 10 low lifts, 10 middle lifts and then 10 high lifts

 Then switch sides 

#9 Butt Lifts while reading a book/magazine

Lay your magazine or book flat and lift your leg up

 Do 15 with a bent leg and 15 with a straight leg, then switch

Make sure your lifting only to horizontal and your squeezing your bum 

#10 Toes Raises while you brush your teeth in the morning

 Stand with your feet shoulder width apart

 raise up to high tippy toes and then back down.

 Do this the whole 2 minutes you brush your teeth 

#11 Side Lunges while you brush your teeth at night

Start in a standing position

 lunge to the Left or Right then push-off your lunge leg

 One leg stays stationary at all times

 do 12 on each leg then switch to the other side

#12 Couch elevated lunges 

I put my leg on the couch then do 15 stationary lunges on each leg

  If you can’t see your toes then your foot is to close, push it out

#13 Leg Extenders with the baby or toddler

This one is fun for your little ones

Lay on your back

bend your knees up to your belly

Put your baby or toddler resting your your feet 

holding under their armpits or their hands 

And do 20 or so leg extenders

#14 Milk jug or canned food arm curls 

just find yourself a milk jug or get two cans of food 

Keep your elbows in and don’t rush the curl

concentrate on good form

Start with 10 and if they get too easy add in increments of 5 reps  

#15 Shoulder Press with canned food

grab your self a can of food for each hand

 Stand up straight and bend your arms at a 90 degree angle above your head

 then press up until the weights almost touch and then pull it back down

#16 Standing Counter Top Push ups 

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and start doing standing push up

Do 30

#17 Laundry Basket Deadlifts 

 Squat down, lift your laundry with you and then above your shoulders for a little extra

 Do this 15 times each time you have a new load (dirty or clean)

#18 Superman with the kids

While you are on the floor playing with the kids this is the

perfect exercise to do with them

  Start laying on your stomach then lift up and hold

 You can also move your feet back and forth like scissors for even more of a challenge

your kids will love doing this with you 

what little kid doesn't like pretending to fly right 

#19 Ab Twists while you microwave your meal

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart

 stand up as tall as you can and squeeze your abs

 Twist back and forth as many times as you can

 the more you do the better your abs will get

#20 Leg Lift Ab twist while your breakfast is in the toaster

After you burn out your abs twisting, try it with a leg twist

 Same stance as the ab twist 

but then I lift my opposite leg with the twist and “crunch” down a little

I am sure there are a lot more exercise ideas that you can do anywhere 

and when you are busy but here are my top 20 to get you started

So I challenge you to try these 20 workouts you can do anywhere
