Sometimes the hardest part about working out is getting to the gym. It takes the extra time, extra transport, and just a little bit of extra planning to make it happen every day.

And sometimes it’s just enough extra that we are inclined to eliminate it altogether and say “oh well, I’ll go tomorrow.” Avoid this step - and the excuses - by working out at home!

Here's 8 workouts that target different parts of your body and include both cardio and strengthening routines for you to try at home:  

Fall weather is right around the corner, and if you’re like me, you get jealous of those girl’s with glutes that look amazing in leggings. Having a firm, rounded butt has been an ongoing trend for a few years. It’s not difficult to understand why. Having a firm butt is extremely sexy. Plus, there are many benefits.

Our glutes are the largest muscle group, and almost any lower bodywork that is done, requires the activation of them. Having a strong lifted butt can help ward off back pains and relieve knee pain too. Not to mention, like stated before, having a firm butt is sexy so your sex appeal will rise! Having a little more strength in your booty will also benefit your endurance – since it is essentially the powerhouse of the lower body, the stronger it gets, the stronger the rest of the lower body will.

One downfall is that training the glutes can be extremely hard, and a process that requires some patience.

To kick start that training, let’s take a look at five of the best moves to tone, lift, and round out the butt.

When I say rebounding, what is the first thing that pops into your head? It could be that thing someone does when they’ve just broken up with their significant other, but for others it could mean an entirely different, and healthier, thing. 

Urban rebounding is a form of cardio that's growing in popularity.

In an urban rebounding class, everyone jumps on a mini trampoline at a light pace, or at fast intervals, and they can do movements such as walking, jogging, and bouncing. Along with that, rebounding can offer a different variety of classes, making it very enjoyable.

Sitting in front of your laptop, or on the couch can have a lot of bad, long lasting consequences. Not only is there a chance of gaining weight, but also your posture could slowly deteriorate, and you could begin to suffer from back pain more frequently.

It’s no myth that sitting hunched over all day at a desk can cause such awful things, but other consequences could arise.

A study was done at San Francisco State University – students were asked to walk down a hallway, some were told to do it while slouching. Those, the “slouchers,” had reported to feel more depressed than those who had walked with good posture.

Having bad posture can affect your appearance too – by making you look heavier than what you actually are! Another study done at Harvard even showed that having a better posture could help relieve stress.

Not only can having a bad posture possibly lead to those awful consequences, but also it can begin to cause back pain – which, in time, could limit our mobility.

To avoid, or decrease, the chances of developing any of these issues, let’s take a look at three powerful yoga moves that help improve posture and relieve back pain.
