6. Work out at home

If getting in shape sounds daunting to you, doing a few simple moves from the comfort and privacy of your own home can make a huge difference. Even without weights or resistance bands, there are plenty of at-home workouts you can try, like squats, jumping jacks, and tricep dips done on a chair. You can do this while watching TV or listening to music – it’ll raise your heart rate, and you only have to do it for 20 minutes daily to experience the benefits. Hate the idea of a home workout? Doing intense housework and laundry also counts as a blood-pumping way to burn calories and get your heart rate up.

Whether your activity of choice is HIIT, TRX, Pilates, yoga, or strength training, you can find a zero-coast coach by watching these videos on YouTube. The time will fly by, and it’ll take the guesswork out of structuring your own workout since an experienced professional has already put in that work for you. Sites like NEOU fitness and Daily Burn are subscription-based services that offer similar resources.
