Home-based Alternative Exercises

HUR Gym: Home-based Alternative Exercises

During the worldwide isolation, HUR have been contacted by clients for advice regarding possible home-based exercises to perform while not being able to go to the gym. While the benefits of the progressive resistance provided by HUR equipment cannot be replaced, it is still important to keep active with home- based exercises to maintain most of the strength gains you have made.

Warm Up Exercises

March on the spot. You can alter your steps by sometimes lifting your knees higher, sometimes taking lower but fast steps or use a stepping board. Stand upright in front of a stepping board (or any stable, flat object). Step up on the board on leg at a time and straighten your body while stepping up.
Heel raises are great for warming up, strengthening your calves and training balance. Hold on to a chair (or a table) and slowly raise to your toes, and lower back slowly.
Stand upright with your feet shoulder- width apart. Swing your arms alternating back and forth in a relaxed manner. Bend your knees along the movement.
Sit or stand upright. Take at least a shoulder width grip on the physical activity stick (or a simple broom stick) and start to “paddle” in the air. Paddle from side to side and use a big movement.
