22 Exercise Videos for When You Have to Stay at Home

Working out at home is a great way to stay fit. It is economical, time-effecient, and you can also do it in the PJs or your skivvies. The trouble people often have with exercising at home is not knowing what workout to do.

When you're building a workout, it is often helpful to divide the body into upper, lower, core and full. Once you have done that, you can choose if you want to work a particular area or go for a full body workout and then mix and match the exercises to fit your needs. For example, on Monday you could do all lower body exercises and then on Tuesday do all upper body. Then you could go for a walk on Wednesday and then stay home and do a core workout on Thursday. Then after doing some core exercises on Friday, Saturday could be your big full body day. You get the picture.
