Sometimes you can go to the gym to exercise and other times you have to do it at home for pleasure or obligation. Obviously at home we don’t have all the equipment at the gym, but fortunately what we do have are several YouTube channels dedicated to it and many applications that help us train at home with what we have at hand.
If you are determined to train at home, here are the best applications for you to train at home with the help of your cell phone. You’ll find on the list applications for all types of workouts, from light yoga to cardio or programs to get your abs look better.
7 minute workout
The 7-minute workout is based on HICT (high-intensity circuit training) exercises, focusing on improving muscle and aerobic fitness. They are quick workouts divided into 12 exercises of 30 seconds each, with 10-second breaks between exercises.
The best thing is that, besides not taking much time, you don’t need to have a gym at home either. The only thing you need in terms of equipment is a chair and a wall, besides repeating 2 or 3 circuits every day.
