How to build muscle at home

Many people envy others for having abdominal muscles, pectoral muscles, etc., but when others invite them to exercise, they may refuse with various reasons, saying they don’t have time, they don’t have equipment, or they are too fat or too thin to build muscles. In fact, as long as you want to exercise, you can do it anywhere. As long as you have a persistent heart and firm belief, there is nothing that cannot be done, only people who cannot do it. Today we will introduce how to build muscles at home for those who don’t have fitness equipment and don’t have time to go out for exercise.

1. Warm-up exercises beforehand

Stretch your arms out and hold the gymnastic ball. Stretch your arms straight up to chest height, then gradually stretch them upward until they are close to your ears, while your feet move from being close together to being shoulder-width apart. Continue this process back and forth for about three minutes.

2. Single-arm support

Exercise parts: shoulders, leg muscles, posterior hip muscles

Lie on your side on a gymnastics mat and use the arm closest to the ground to support your body. Similarly, bend the leg closest to the ground backward and keep the other leg at a 45-degree angle to the ground. Then, slowly raise your other arm from your side, keeping your eyes on the fingertips of this hand. Because this movement is quite difficult, just hold it for about 20 seconds, then switch to the other side and do it again, for a total of 2 repetitions.

3. Abdominal muscle tightening ball exercise

Exercise parts: abdominal muscles, thigh muscles, arm muscles

Sit on the ground, use your hips to support your whole body, and gradually lift your feet about 10-15 cm off the ground. Hold the gymnastic ball tightly with both hands and do sideways movements to the left or right. This exercise really tests one's body balance. If you can't hold on for too long at the beginning, you can bring your feet a little closer to the ground, but remember not to put your feet on the ground, otherwise it will not have any beauty effect.

4. Karate Stance

Exercise parts: upper arm muscles, shoulders, inner thigh muscles, buttocks muscles

Spread your legs shoulder-width apart, with your feet pointed 45 degrees outward, and then half squat. Bend your hands and place them in front of your chest. This movement is very effective in tightening the inner thigh muscles and buttocks muscles. Each movement should last for 20 seconds and repeated 5-10 times.

5. Knee bending exercise

Exercise area: shoulders, chest, triceps

Kneel on your knees, making a 90-degree angle with the ground. Hold a dumbbell in one hand and place it on the ground, then start to bend your knees and elbows at the same time, using the strength of your knees to support your body, which also tests the endurance of your arm muscles.

6. Heel contact squat

Exercise area: Leg muscles

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Then slowly squat down, holding a dumbbell in each hand. While maintaining your body balance, use the hands holding the dumbbells to touch your heels. This movement is very effective for exercising leg muscles. Girls who want to have perfect leg lines can try it.

Most people don't have much sports equipment at home, so how to exercise muscles at home has become a concern for many busy people. Many of the muscle exercise methods we introduced above can be done at home. You don't need to go out or spend money to exercise in the gym. So no matter what you do, you must first have a correct attitude, and then stick to it every day. I believe that soon you will develop an enviable body.
