Working out at home, huh? Let me go back to February 2025. At that time, I was still very consistent with home workouts. Because of my tight schedule—from morning until evening at my internship—I didn’t have time to go to the gym or a field. So I just trained at home with push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups. I rarely trained legs, because honestly, I thought they were already big enough 😂
PUSH-UPS
I only did three types of push-ups: standard push-ups, chair dips, and incline push-ups—each for 12 reps with 3 sets.
I chose standard push-ups because they train the chest and front shoulders. Chair dips target the triceps, and incline push-ups also help develop the chest muscles.
SIT-UPS / CORE
For core workouts, I did crunches, bicycle crunches, planks, and elbow-to-knee movements. I picked four exercises because, for some reason, I felt like my abs were hard to build, so I added more variety for that area. I did each exercise for 12 reps with 3 sets.
I chose crunches because they’re more effective than classic sit-ups for targeting the abs. Bicycle crunches are great for working the upper, lower, and side abs. Reverse crunches focus on the lower abs and core, while planks are incredibly beneficial—they engage the shoulders, arms, and core, basically affecting the whole body.
PULL-UPS
Pull-ups—well, for beginners, you have to build up gradually. I could only do about 10 reps per session, and even that felt like I was about to pass out, so I did 10 reps for 2 sets.
Pull-ups help increase upper body muscle mass, especially in the back, shoulders, biceps, forearms, and core.
LAST
That was pretty much my workout routine at home. After every session, I made sure to consume protein. As a student living away from home, I looked for something cheap and easy to get—eggs 🙂
As far as I remember, my body fat was once estimated at around 16%, although that was just a rough calculation done by a friend from the sports faculty.
