Here are 5 Dorm Room Workouts for You

Getting a proper workout in Kenner does not demand a lot of space. 

And that is something every exerciser can take advantage of, mostly when we put into consideration that most of the dorm rooms are just large enough to fit your bed and a few more things. 

Therefore we are sharing with you these dorm room exercises in 5 workouts that will keep your body healthy and in shape.

WORKOUT #1

  • Squats: This exercise involves multiple muscle groups and joints, which combined with the small space required makes it perfect for dorm room workouts. 

          How to do it: While on your feet with a shoulder-width space between them, making sure that your knees are             bending over to a 90-degree angle. 2 reps of 20 will make you feel your thighs and butt burn.

  • Jumping Jacks: They offer an efficient total-body workout which can be performed anywhere as well. Focusing on your heart, lungs, and muscles at the same time and involving your abdominal and shoulder muscles as well. 

           How to do it: With your legs together and arms at your side, slightly bend your knees before jumping into                the air. Spread your legs as you jump until they reach a shoulder-width distance between them while at the           same time stretching your arms out and over your head. 3 reps of 25 and you will feel the burn.
