5 Simple Home Exercises - So Easy A Fat Lazy Person Could Do Them In Their Sleep

Don't have enough time to go to the gym? To embarassed to go to the gym? Don't have a gym close by? Don't worry. You can still get in a good workout from home. These 5 simple home exercises will have you slim in no time if you just keep at them.

Out of the hundreds of exercises I could have chosen, I went with these 5 for a couple reasons: simplicity and they work the major muscle groups. Simplicity is important because overcomplicating things is never a good idea in any area of life. And by working the major muscle groups, you get the most bang for your buck in the fat loss department. Muscle is the body's biggest calorie consumer, and any time you can build more of it, it's a good idea.

So without further ado, let's get started with some simple push ups.

Push Ups
This one's a classic for a reason. And it's easy.

Put your knees and palms on the floor as if you were crawling. Now lower your upper body as much as you can and put as much weight as you can on your arms. Then push back up.

Crunches
By the time you lose all that fat, you want to have some abs to look at, right? Crunches will do the trick.

Lay on your back with your feet on the floor and your knees bent at a 90 degree angle. Cross your arms in front of your chest. Press your back against the floor, and lift your head and shoulders off the ground slowly. Hold for a second, and then come back down.

Squats
This one works all the big muscles in your legs. Believe it or not, building leg muscle is the fastest way to lose belly fat.

Stand up straight, feet shoulder width apart. Keeping your back straight, bend your knees so you dip down as far as you can. Your butt shouldn't go past your knees though. Stand back up.

Press Ups
This works your lower back muscles and helps your posture.

Lay flat on the floor face down, arms to your sides. Now push up off the ground as much as possible while keeping your pelvis on the ground. Your back should be arched and you should be trying to look up.

Back Pulls
This tip is going to cost you a little money. Go out and buy a pair of weights. 5 pounds should be plenty to start.

Sit in a chair and lean over so your chest is on your knees. Let your arms go straight to the floor with a weight in each hand. Lift each weight straight off the floor and bring them to as close to armpit height as you can. Slowly lower them back to the floor.
