Q&A for How to Exercise in Your Bedroom

Not necessarily! You'll be more motivated to workout in your bedroom if you choose a fitness routine that you're excited about.

Burpees are probably the one exercise that works the most muscles because it includes the arms raised above the head, and it works the heart as well as all the body parts.

It takes very little space to do jumping jacks, burpees, squats, lunges, dips, pushups, calf raises, etc. Try a few of these to get your heart pounding.

Jump rope, dancing, cutting the grass, sweeping and (of course) all body weight exercises can be done in a cardio sequence to get a really tough workout. Try jumping jacks followed by pushups, then lunges, then burpees, then chinups or tricep dips, and then bicycle crunches. Lastly, repeat all for a great total body workout.

Try body weight exercises. You can do most exercises like squats, lunges and push-ups on your bed and that will provide the added benefit of balance training!

Add activity into your normal routine, such as walking more and doing some physical chores like sweeping or house cleaning.

We totally get that! In the article, we share a lot of body weight exercises you do in small spaces that don't require any equipment at all. We also share a few tips for using things you have around your room, like books, as weights for strength-training. Check them out!

You can imitate jumping rope by jumping up and down in the same spot while swinging your arms slightly as if you were using a rope.

Try lifting weights, or even doing push ups. Anything that involves exercising your arms will help you build muscle.

If you don't have much time, 30 minutes is a good amount. If you have a lot of time though, an hour is even better!

Cat and cow stretches help. Crunches also help, but they are not necessarily stretches. In general, stretching helps to lose excess fat in all the places you stretch and it is good for you, so try and stretch every muscle.

Honestly, it depends on the person. Usually about 2-3 weeks. I know that may seem like a long time but believe me, it's totally worth it.

You can do push-ups or lift light weights. A lot of arm work can definitely improve your arms, such as washing the dishes/putting dishes away, or doing housework. Make sure to drink a lot of water and eat dairy to build muscles. Drink milk before bed.

Squats are extremely good for toning your bum. Make sure to keep your back straight when squatting.

If you are just now beginning to do these exercises, then you should probably start off with 5 to 10 minutes for each exercise. You can increase the amount of time as you get used to doing the exercises. If you have recently had broken or dislocated bones, you should probably stick closer to 5 minutes or so, to avoid further injuries.

It depends on your health. In my opinion, 2 minutes of fast jump rope is enough to get your heart pumping. You could do more if you want.

When you have time, you should exercise for at least half an hour each day. You should exercise on at least 3-5 days a week. Don't push yourself too hard, though. Too much exercise is not healthy, either.

A good mat would help for more comfort when doing your exercise. However, for preventing objects from falling off shelves, you should get a bigger room or take the objects off of the shelves just for the time you are doing your exercise.

Yes, as long as it gets your heart pumping.

You should drink 6-8 glasses of water per day.

Do them first, and once they're done do a workout, or do the workout in the afternoon/evening.

Will power. It's hard. You have to really want to do it. Start by putting together a plan. Get yourself some cute workout clothes and then put them on. Tell yourself to do 5 minutes, then see if you can do 5 more. Keep trying.

Do squats and leg lifts. They help a lot to tone the calves and thighs. You may feel a burn and it may hurt a bit, but you will get used to it.

You should do push-ups and crunches and sit-ups. Those are some workouts without equipment.

Do cardio. Walking, running, and cycling are all types of cardio. You can also do leg kicks. Check out the article on How to Lose Thigh Fat for more ideas.
