6 No-Equipment Workouts for Moms Using Household Objects

At home workouts can be just as effective as gym workouts, even without the fancy, expensive equipment.

When it comes to actually starting a home workout routine, you don’t need ANY fancy fitness gear.

Nope.

Nada.

Because the best strength, cardio and core & pelvic floor results come in the beginning from just getting STARTED.

You can ? get a great workout just using the stuff you’ve already got around your house.

Bodyweight exercise is the foundation of your movement routine when you’re getting started!

?And if you want to add some variety and challenge with a few “toys” why not use what you’ve already got?

1. No heavy dumbbells? Don’t worry! Grab a big ol’ jug of laundry detergent or try loading up a backpack or laundry basket with some heavy stuff and away you go!

2. Feel like you need yoga blocks to get into positions? We got you. Try a couple of sturdy books! You can even duct tape a few old kiddo board books together to create a little lift in those yoga poses.

3. Feel like you need a bench to do some tricep dips, step ups or incline push ups on? Nope! An ottoman or a stair will totally do the trick.

4. Wish you had some light weights for those smaller muscles? All good. We love adding soup cans or filled water bottles to our pilates, yoga and cardio for that extra “oomph!”

And that number 5 piece of equipment that you maybe don’t even know you want or need, but we use ALLLLL the time? ?A sturdy kitchen chair! Yup, Dara’s bright turquoise chair is featured in many strength, cardio, barre and even core & pelvic floor workouts, so much so we’ve unofficially knighted it the third “trainer” of Mama Reset. ?

And now that you know you can get started today without any of the shipping fees, let us show you exactly how you can use those household items to get a great workout in.
