How to make in-house training the most effective to improve the bodyshape at home?

Question 1

Hi, everyone! How are things? As the summer is going on, I decided to train myself more. It will help me to keep my body in shape all the year. However, I don’t have enough money to go to the gym, so I decided to do all the exercises at home. My choice is to do weight exercises.

How do you think, would it be helpful for me? What are your thoughts about it? What exercises can you recommend? Or should I better spend some money and go to the gym?
I just thought, that there is no difference where to do your workouts. What kind of training can you recommend to do at home? What equipment will I need? How to exercise at home properly? How to make in-house training the most effective to lose weight and both pump up all groups of body muscles? What set of exercises can help me to make my body beautiful fast?

Let me know what you think. Thank you!

Question 3

Hey, Eden! That`s good you have your motivation to train and improve your body shape. And of course, you can do it at home. If it doesn`t hurt your neighbors though. I live in a third floor flat and jumping rope practice is definitely not for me. I do yoga instead. What type of house do you live in? There are so many different fitness workout programmes for women today! Just spend some time to search the best you like. Planks are super effective for toning up muscles and losing weight, different push-ups and extension exercises, step-ups too! You can do a lot at home! Good luck!
