One disadvantage of working out at home with exercise equipment is the difficulty in scheduling a proper and regular fitness routine. This is especially true for working or stay-at-home moms who must juggle doing housework, caring for their children and spouse, and running errands. Extra-curricular activities can sometimes add to the craziness of the schedule, leaving the home fitness equipment lying around and collecting dust in one corner of the house.

If you cannot easily find time to follow a proper fitness routine, you can still work out without using any fitness equipment.

Here are some quick and easy ways to keep your body healthy and fit all year.

Work and Exercise with Your Children

If you have children and a baby, consider this an advantage rather than a disadvantage to your workout schedule. Put your baby in his pushchair and go for a walk around the block or to the park with the other kids. Brisk walking is a good cardio exercise that leaves you feeling refreshed and relaxed. It is also beneficial to children.

You can also get everyone moving by cleaning the kitchen, living room, and bedrooms for at least five minutes everyday. Set a timer, put on some music, and get everyone, including yourself, to pick up the clatters, books, toys, clothes, shoes, and so on. It is beneficial as a light cardio workout for you and your children. There are numerous activities you can do with your children to keep you busy. And, along the way, you keep your physical aspect fit and healthy with those small physical exercises.

Use your Time Alone

Make a list of 5-minute activities that will keep you occupied and exert physical effort when you are alone at home. Climbing the stairs up and down, stretching, running to and from the house, gardening, watering the plants, laundering the clothes, washing the dishes, and a slew of other activities can count. You can go to a park and walk around to get some fresh air. The good news is that it not only achieves your daily calorie burn goal but also allows you to complete household chores at the same time.

Of course, you must rest as well. A good night’s sleep will go a long way toward keeping your body and mind refreshed daily. Furthermore, eating healthy foods is the key to achieving your goal of staying fit and healthy. Make certain that the food is healthy for both you and your children.
