If you're interested in getting into better shape but don't really want to join a public gym, there are plenty of ways to work around this. Many people are quick to assume that being in good shape means you'll have to spend hours and hours at the gym, but this isn't the case.
If you can devote 30 minutes to exercise per day, doing it right in the comfort of your own home, you can see noticeable differences in just a few weeks' time.
Let's have a look at the best ways to exercise at home.
Climb Stairs
Looking for a fast way to get in some cardio? While at the gym you might have chosen to hop onto the treadmill, bike, or elliptical, but when exercising at home it's likely that you may not have one of these machines sitting in your living room.

But what you're likely to have is a set of stairs. Stair running can be just as effective, if not even more effective than running itself, when it comes to burning off body fat so don't hesitate to run up and down the stairs (anywhere actually) whenever possible.

For a more structured routine at home:
- run up and down the stairs three to four times in a row,
- take a 45-second rest and walk around at a slow pace,
- repeat this process another four to five times
Stairs too challenging? Try walking up 1st ...

Try Jumping Rope

Be patient with this exercise as it can take some getting used to:
- skip for one minute straight,
- then rest for the next minute,
- repeat this "on and off" session 10 to 12 times
Get A Set Of Adjustable Dumbbells (or Use Barbells)

For the resistance training side of things, if you want to firm up your body fast, getting a set of adjustable dumbbells is the way to go. You can perform movements to target the entire body with these including lunges, squats, shoulder presses, chest presses lying on the floor, bent over rows, as well as bicep curls, tricep extensions, and lateral raises.
- Perform eight to twelve reps of each exercise back-to back (ie. move from one exercise to the next quickly).
- Rest for two minutes once the circuit has been completed.
- Repeat the whole circuit one more time,
Try Resistance Bands (or Anything with Resistance...)

Finally, if you aren't so fond of dumbbells, another alternative is to use resistance bands. These are becoming very popular among those who choose to workout at home because they can easily be stored away in a dresser drawer when not in use.
Hold each end of the resistance band in either of your hands and perform many of the same exercises you would with your dumbbells such as squats, shoulder presses, chest presses, bicep curls, lateral raises, and bent over rows.
So there you have some quick tips for creating an effective and fast home workout. If you can commit to doing your resistance training exercises AND your cardio workout TWICE per week, while also combining this with a great diet and a supplement such as Phen375 to boost your metabolic rate, you will have a killer, fat-burning formula that will get you the body you're after.
