No Equipment? No Excuses: 20 Exercises You Can Do At Home
No Equipment? No Excuses: 20 Exercises You Can Do At Home
Check out this extensive guide, No Equipment No Excuses. It is the ultimate workout at home guide.
so my year has been much more healthy than previous ones. this is a HUGE reason why. I do yoga too thanks to a mat my mom gave me for Christmas two years ago but honestly exercises like these are what give me energy, make sure my joints don’t pop, and burn calories when I eat too many midnight crackers.
AND you can do pretty much all of these even if you have 0 equipment. zeeeero. we don’t have a couch in our room so I use the bed for the one in the thumbnail for example.
Send me three nouns and I will write a 500-word story for you.

The Five Steps to a Healthier August
once upon a time, I decided it was time to make Good Habits™, because I am 22 and if I don’t start now, I’ll never actually do it.
WOOOOO just looked through my entire Tumblr feed to find this again.
so, how am I doing?
1. Drink More Water. oooops. not so much. I’ve been better at staying hydrated than I used to be, but I’m definitely not in the 64 oz-per-day range at all. Solution: start using my water bottle again. it needs another rinse-out before I feel safe doing so, but that’s easy. SO: four of those per day. that’s doable.
2. Do Physical Shit. since I moved, I’ve been slacking on this, but prior to the last two weeks I was doing very well on this. I was running at least once or twice a week and doing 20-30 minutes of yoga at least twice if not three times per week. and I was feeling great! now that my entire home office is a bed, I really need to stay on this.Solution: find some easy lunchtime workouts to supplement what I do at home, in case I can’t get to my exercise every day I’d like to.
3. Eat More Fruit. infinitely better! Jake’s mom is fantastic about making me take fruit to work every day, and it’s always available for a snack, so I’m getting in at least one piece of fruit every day.
4. Portion Control. not terrible, but not fantastic. if we eat out, I usually end up with some leftovers to take home, so I guess my stomach is controlling me in that sense…but then I end up eating it later. and I snack a lot. I could try to justify to myself that I’m doing that six small meals deal, but really that’s a lie. Solution: don’t always eat when Jake does, and try to choose healthy or “tide me over” snacks when I do feel hungry.
5. Multivamins. damn, I’ve completely neglected this one. the sad thing is that I remember them every time I’m getting ready, and then I think, “nahhh, ew, don’t want to do that,” and then I forget. Solution: take multivitamins to work with me so I have no excuse.
Overall: I’m taking a little better care of myself, but I want to be a lot further along than I am. I’ll be tackling a couple of these over the next few months, and I’ll check back in then. *salute*
