Marry enjoys keeping in shape without ever entering a gym. She says, “My goal is to make fitness fun, simple, and accessible.” Her at-home training schedule will save you from needing any one piece of equipment—just a little area with plenty of inspiration!
Five minutes of warm-up
Warm-up gently first to raise your heart rate and prepare your muscles. To start your body moving, try high knees, jumping jacks, and some arm circles.
1. Bodyweight Squats (3 Sets of 15 Reps)
Marry swears by squats to tone her lower body and increase power. Standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, press your hips back and sink down as though seated into a chair. Check that your knees don’t pass your toes.
2. Push-Ups (3 Sets of 10-15 Reps)
For upper body strength, push-ups are great; Marry enjoys how they train her arms, shoulder, and chest. “Start on your knees if you need to!” she says.
3. Plank, three sets of thirty-second intervals.
Among Marry’s favourite core exercises is the plank. Simple but effective, it works your entire body in addition to your abs. Tensing your core and breathing deeply, hold a straight line from your head to your toe.
4. Lunges—three sets of ten repetitions each leg.
Lunges are great for toning glues and thighs. Step forward with one leg, then bend both knees and push back. “You will feel the burn, but it is so well worth it!” Marry says hello.
Cool Down (5 Minutes)
Stretching gently will help you to release tension from your muscles; concentrate on your legs, arms, back.
Marry shows with this straightforward approach that it is not difficult to get active at home. “Nothing gym, nothing equipment—just you and your will,” she explains. Try it and find great results!
