Way to go on the weight loss thus far! Don't get down, get up, and move! How big is your space at home? Do you have the means to invest in a couple of simple fitness items? If not, there's many things you can do at home, with your own body weight in the form of exersise! If you have even a 10x10 space, you can make up a little routine! I'm not going to lie, it's a little boring, but it's not impossible and the only excuses are the ones you make to yourself!
Here's my little failsafe when I can't get to the gym:
Start off crosslegged on the floor, play some relaxing or chanting music. Practice deep belly breathing, draw your breath into the bellybutton, hold for 3 seconds, relase through the lips. Do that 10 times.
Slowly stand up, draw small circles with the arms, gradually make them bigger, and bigger untill your arms are in a full range of motion, for one minute.
Extend your arms out so your body is in the shape of a T and do 20 gentle torso twists.
Now, start with some jumping jacks-20
Pushups-20 (full or modified form. Start with full form, them modify at failure)
rest 30 seconds
repeat 3 more times
Rest one minute
Burpees-10
Reverse lunges 10 each side
rest 30 seconds, repeat 3 more times
Rest one minute
Skip rope 1minute
Crunches or V-ups-30
rest 30 seconds
Repeat 3 times
Rest one minute
Mountian Climbers 30
Leg lifts (on all fours, extend leg back like you are kicking someone, contract butt-muscle!) 30 each side
rest 30 seconds
Repeat 3 times
Rest one minute
Dips on a chair-20
Plyo-squats 20
rest 30 seconds
repeat 3 times
rest one minute
Now, start to cool down...
Hold each pose for 20 seconds:
Warrior
Warrior 2
Extended triangle
King pigeon
Downward dog
cat flow
Now, lay on the floor (on a mat or pillows) palms to the ceiling, knees and hips neutral, channel the breath to the belly and deep breath untill you are ready to get up again!
