Working out at home comes handy when you don't have the time to go out for classes.
In case you plan to do this, make sure you take classes for 2-3 months at least, before starting on your own.
With loads of videos available online, working out at home has loads of options. For example, the 7 minute workout is good when you have less than half an hour for a full body workout. ( 3 sets of 7 minutes plus warm up and stretches).
But if you are a beginner, it would be better to stick with something basic like walking videos or some easy aerobics videos.
(Leslie sanson's walking videos , Denise Austin's aerobics videos etc)
I feel that other complicated workouts are always better with supervision.
Also, most of us feel more committed in case we go out for classes, rather than working out at home
Make sure you do the warm up and stretches properly.
For those who want to implement exercise moves in their day to day activities, here are some pointers
1. SQUATS. No, not the one we do just for the heck of it. I mean a perfect squat. It takes a lot of practice. Take your time and learn it. Then, use it every time you have to pick up something from the floor.Check out the 4 step squat by Arvind of The Quad.
2. PUSH UPS. Options for this are so many. The wall, the chair, the bed or even the floor. Learn and then do this when you find time. You can download app for increasing the counts gradually.
3. STAY PHYSICALLY ACTIVE. Make it a habit to be physically active. Walk, climb stairs, run, play (no no... not candy crush).
Make sure your learn all the moves from a trained instructor first. Practicing wrong moves can lead to injury.
