I had so many people asking me for home workouts, I just had to make one! So, let’s get to it with a new easy home workout that you can do in 45 minutes. And yes, you will feel your muscles burn the day after. This home workout is quite easy, because that’s what I feel a home workout should be. You don’t want to have to mess with too much equipment, you just want to get into it. That’s why I give you a few options per exercise, with or without equipment. I did put in some challenging variations for the people that want to kick it up a notch, like me!
What you could use for this home workout is a yoga mat, a chair, some resistance bands, a pair of dumbbells and some ankle weights. If you don’t have a pair of dumbbells you could also use to water bottles to add some weight. Be creative and keep it moving, even if you’re working out at home. Make sure you take the time to keep your form right and don’t take to many breaks. Keep breathing, keep the energy high and just work it out. Watch the video and use my home workout routine below to get yourself started.
This is a home workout for arms, abs and booty. And these are the exercises you’ll be doing:

This is the 45-minute home workout I’ve but together. You can switch up the exercises if you like and keep it interesting for yourself. I made sure you start off with something easy before getting into the heavier exercises. I do suggest you keep the tempo steady, don’t take too many breaks. These are pretty simple exercises, but I do want to say that it’s still important to watch your form, safety first!
