You don't need to go to a gym to have an active lifestyle. Sure, it helps; and, let's face it, we are an interested party in the matter. However, times like this may require you have more at-home workouts. Here are our top 7 exercises to do. 

Starting to workout at home can sometimes be daunting. Your living room or the place in your house where you exercise may have some gym equipment, but it will never be as complete as an actual gym. This absence may make you feel lost, but we are here to guide you. 

Remember this: the best gym existing equipment is your body; and if you think about it, there aren't many machines as powerful as the human body. It's time you use it to exercise too. Here are our recommendations. 

AT-HOME WORKOUTS: TOP 7 EXERCISES TO DO 

1 - Push-up

The bodyweight staple exercise, the first image that crosses our mind most of the times when we think about exercising. The truth is the push-up is at the top of the exercises for your at-home workouts because it's highly effective. 

How: Start by placing your hands shoulder-width apart or a little bit wider. As you bend your elbows and lower your body toward the floor, make sure the elbows are at about a 45-degree angle to your body. Push back up and repeat. For beginners, keep your knees on the floor.

2 - Lunge

Mainly focused on your legs, lunges are also an excellent exercise to improve your stability. You can also increase its difficulty by performing a variation like jumping lunges. 

How: With your feet hip-width apart, start by engaging your core. Take a big step forward with your preferred leg and shift your weight forward. Lower until your right thigh is parallel to the floor. The knee will shift forward a bit, but it must not go past your right feet. Press the right heel and get back to the starting position. 

3 - Squat 

Squats are widely known in the fitness world, mostly because they are hard to perform. They'll tone both legs and bottom, and these are the steps to follow to perform them.

How: Start with your feet a bit wider than your hips and toes pointing slightly outward. Your arms straight out in front of you, parallel to the ground. Don't forget to look straight ahead — all the time. Concentrate the weight on your heels and balls of your feet and keep your core tight. 

Squat down until your hip joint is lower than your knees. 

4 - Burpee

Prepare yourself for the race: a heart race. Burpee is a tough exercise that pumps your heart and demands a lot from your legs and upper body. 

How: In a standing position, place your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower into the squat position and put your hands on the floor in front of, and just inside, of your feet. Your hands should now carry more weight. Go down after getting in a plank position. Then, jump back up to your feet. Arms overhead and jump into the air. Repeat. 

5 - Plank 

If we are talking about fundamental exercises for at-home workouts, we must speak of the core, and there's nothing better for your core than a good-old plank. 

How: Place forearms on the floor. Elbows aligned below shoulders. Arms parallel to the body and shoulder-width apart. Engage your core and keep glutes tight too. 

6 - Sit-up

From the core to the abs, a sit-up is an excellent option to target abs, chest, hip flexors, lower back and neck

How: Start by lying down on your back and bending your legs, placing your feet on the ground. Place your hands crossed behind your head, but make sure you don't pull your neck. Curl your upper body toward your knees. Slowly lower down. Exhale as you lift, inhale as you lower.

7 - Glute bridge

Hips don't lie, and this exercise is here to prove it: feel the burn in your glutes and hamstring. 

How: Lie down on your back, bending your legs and feet flat on the floor. Arms at your side, palms down. Lift your hips off the ground — your knees, hips and shoulders should form a straight line. Squeeze the glutes and engage your core. Hold that position for a couple of seconds before slowly descending.
