Tip 3: Scissor Cuts. For power, strength and conditioning of your calves and thighs, you can do scissor cuts.This still involves your bed at home. Instead of doing leg lift ups, you can do a little variation by crossing them upwards as you lift your feet inches away from the bed. Do this as much as you can.
Tip 4: Sit-ups For Abs. You will need to invest on a huge and inflated ball for this kind of home workout. Simply position your back on the midst of the ball and lay down. Your hands must be placed behind your head to perform the sit-up method. This is good if you want to enhance your abs. Then,your feet should form a 90 degree angle. As you do the method, you should keep your lower back implanted on the ball. Pause for several seconds if you feel like your body's dropping off from the ball then resume again once you've settled on it.
Tip 5: Tricep Dips. Again you will need your sofa in this kind of home workout. Tricep dips may applicable to people who prefer extremities with their exercise.
