The lack of equipment, the absence of the “environment” in which you have gotten so used to exercising and to top it all, finding a constant source of motivation to get off the bed and start putting your body through work right next to it, life can be hard at times.
Now, while we can discuss the solutions to the last two problems some other time, I have the perfect way out from the first issue.
I do not have a place to do chin-ups, I have no barbells or dumbbells and my theraband just broke. So, how do I work on my biceps, now?
While gyms and fitness centres will take some time to open again, it’s essential to find your own space at home to stay fit and active. At-home workout can be effective even without equipment when done with caution. Few things available at home can work as effective equipment to help you tone your muscles.
All you need is a chair and towel to start working out the bicep muscles. Here are all the exercises you can do, which are effective and easy.
Leg Bicep Curl
All you need is a chair and towel to start working out the bicep muscles. Here are all the exercises you can do, which are effective and easy.
Leg Bicep Curl
Though it’s done mostly without a chair, you can grab a chair while starting. Sit on a chair and while putting your left arm under the right shinbone, and try to lift your leg. Try to push your leg against the momentum of your arm to make it more challenging. Repeat it with the other leg and do eight reps each side.
Bicep Curl
All you need is a towel. Hold it firmly in both your hands and perform your regular bicep curl. However, while doing it, keep your muscles engaged while continually trying to pull the towel apart while performing the exercise. This will work on the muscles.
Pull-Ups
Take two thin hand towels and tie a knot on one end of both the towels. Now place them at a shoulder distance on a door and bolt in a way that the towels get fixed inside, and the knots act as a stopper. Make sure the door is locked correctly, and the towels aren’t slipping out. Now use these two as a bard to perform your pull-ups.
Chair Dips
Though this exercise strengthens triceps muscles, you also tend to work on your arm muscles while doing it. All you have to do is stand in front of the chair with your back towards it. Go down, place your palms on the chair and bend your knees. Now come up and dip inside without shrugging your shoulders or moving your hips.
