Home Core Workout | Stay Active Series
Core workouts are an example of body-weight based strength training, also called weight training or resistance training, is an important part of any fitness routine. It helps make you stronger and also builds muscle endurance. Strength training is a versatile type of workout that you can do almost anywhere. While it’s a popular exercise option at many gyms, you can also build a robust strength training program that you can do in the comfort and privacy of your home, making it a perfect Lockdown option. Plus, when you’re at home, you get to choose your own workout music! If you want to add increased resistance, you can look for household items such has bags of sugar, or a full 2 litre water bottle, to add some extra weight.
Research has shown that strength training can benefit your health and fitness in many different ways, including building lean muscle mass, boosting metabolism to make weight loss easier, boosting flexibility and improving range of motion (which helps you with all other sports and activities you partake in), and has even been shown to improve brain health and cognitive functionality.
Another huge benefit relates to mental wellbeing. Strength training, and other types of regular exercise that builds on strength and fitness, have been shown to raise your energy levels, help you sleep better, and overall improve mood.
PCYC NSW is here to help you cultivate a home-based exercise routine, as a super easy and convenient way of fitting in a workout without leaving your living room.
