Working out is a beneficial practice for our minds and bodies. This isn’t new knowledge; we are all aware of the advantages that accompany exercise, but for a lot of us, taking time out of our day to go to a gym is an unfeasible thought.
I used to attend a gym back when I was in high school, but once I enrolled in university, I realized that finding time to go to the gym was becoming more and more difficult as a result of my school work. So, I thought I would create an at-home, equipment-free workout routine that targets all of the major muscle groups in the body that could appeal to anyone. I do this routine daily and wanted to share it; it takes 20-30 minutes to complete, and it’s absolutely free.
