Push-ups This is one of the most useful exercises that can be easily done at home. If done correctly it can rev up your stamina and build your pecs and triceps.

How to do it: Lie face down with your palms on the floor about shoulder width apart from each other. Push your whole body up with your back and legs in a straight line and then lower yourself back down towards the floor. To strengthen your chest more place your arms wider apart. To strengthen your triceps and back more, move your arms closer together. Muscles involved: Chest muscles and triceps

Sit-ups This is another great exercise to do in the house and can be done almost everywhere. This can help in the strengthening of the hip flexors and abdominal muscles. How to do it: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Cross your arms across your chest and raise your body up to try and meet your knees. This can cause strain on the back, so if you have a weak back it may be better to do a crunch instead. Muscles involved: Abdominal muscles and back muscles

Jumping on the Spot This might sound a bit silly but its a great workout and is used to get the heart pumping and build stamina. This can also build your leg muscles. How to do it: Literally just jump up and down raising your whole body off the ground by at least 5-6 inch or more. Muscles involved: Calf muscles and thigh muscles

Squats It is another easy but very useful exercise for your thighs and buttocks. It helps to shape your buttocks, strengthen thighs and build stamina. How to do it: Stand up straight , bend your knees with your arms stretched outright parallel to the floor. Bend until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Muscles involved: Thigh muscles and buttocks muscles.

Back Extension Back extension is a strength training exercise. It is done for strengthening lower back muscles. How to do it: Lie face down with your arms at your side. Slowly lift your head toward the ceiling and look up as far as you can go. You can extend this by lifting your legs and your head up as far as you can and hold for 5 seconds and release. Muscles involved: Stomach muscles and Back muscles. (MensXP.com) Also Read: Diet Guide to Get the Most out of your Workout, A Guide to Biking to Work
