Are Home Workouts Any Good?

When we think of home workouts or working out from home, we can sometimes think of someone with a lack of fitness education, direction, and overall motivation.

However, I can assure you that home workouts can be the best way to achieving your weight loss goals!

That’s exactly what Unite Fit will do for you! We will be sure to get you working at the best frequency, intensity, time and type of exercise that will ensure a high calorie burn so you can lose weight and hit your weight loss goals.

Do home workouts help with weight-loss?

The process of losing weight requires you to be in a calorie deficit. Home workouts can most defiantly have you burning lots of calories by elevating your heart-rate even by performing the most basic of movements.

For example:

• Press ups

• Squats

• Mountain climbers

• Lunges

• Burpies

We achieve this with an in-depth consultation when you begin paired with weekly checkins with your online weight loss coach, ensuring that as you improve, your subscribed classes match your new found fitness level, to guarantee your on the fastest track to loss weight.

Workout when it suits you!

One of the main advantages of home workouts is that you can plan your workouts around your busy life schedule, or even decide on a spontaneous home workout when it suits you.

No more commenting in traffic to busy gyms, or in queues for equipment, the freedom and flexibility of home workouts means you are less likely to skip your workout and more likely to stay consistent and on track to reach your weight loss goals.

Can I build muscle working out at home?

To build lean muscle, you will need to be in a calorie surplus of around 5-10% of your daily calorie intake, with this you need to be performing regular home workouts that will overload your muscles, breaking down your muscle fibres, so they grow back bigger and stronger.

You most certainly can achieve muscle growth with home workouts utilising both compound and isolation movements with any equipment you may have.

Working out when short on time

We have all been there, those extra long days stuck at work, then having to cook dinner with a thousands things to do before you can even think about working out.

But, when you have the option to workout from home, even if you are short of time, you can achieve great results.

Your Unite Fit coach will ensure that based on your class length, you will be exercising at the right workout intensity, ensuring your burning calories.

The most important thing to remember when we think of workout intensity, is that your 50% is different to my 50% any anyone else’s, so always apply any given percentage to your own workout intensity.

Best workout intensities based on time spent exercising:

• 5 minutes: 80-90% workout intensity

• 10 minutes: 75-80% workout intensity

• 15 minutes: 70-75% workout intensity

• 20 minutes: 65-70% workout intensity

• 30 minutes: 60% + workout intensity
