Are you interested in getting fit, but at a loss for where to start? Well, you’re in the right place! You don’t need a gym or equipment of any sort to start on the road to better health. All you need is a willingness to challenge yourself, and the desire to stick with it.
A lot of people think that if you want to make any headway toward that summer bod, you need to be constantly working out… always pushing harder and harder. I think in many ways this is a recipe for burnout. Instead, the “steady as she goes” approach tends to get people hooked on working out better than anything. So keep at it, listen to your body, and have some fun. At first you might feel a little awkward but after you’ve got your moves down, this 10 week workout plan will become the foundation of your healthy lifestyle. It should take anywhere from 45-60 minutes; just enough time to get some meaningful stuff accomplished. You ready? Let’s do this.
The 10-Week Home Workout Plan Is Simple

25 crunches, 15 lunges, 35 jumping jacks, 5 push-ups, 20 squats, 1 wall-sit for 25 seconds, 1 plank for 15 seconds, 10 sit-ups, and 10 butt-kicks. What’s a butt-kick, you ask? Just run in place and try to kick your own booty as you do.
