Exercises At Home
Pushups:
Do them on your knees, instead of keeping your legs straight. Or, do them standing up against a wall. You will be building up arm strength and working out muscles in your chest area.
Light Weight Lifting:
Just use whatever you can find in your house. Start out with something lighter, such as a can of peas, and work yourself up to heavier items. You can use milk jugs, laundry detergent bottles or even water jugs.
Leg Lifts
: These are great for building up strength and muscles in your legs. Try them during commercial breaks!
