Don’t have the time or the budget to go to the gym several times a week? Running for an hour every day, whatever the weather, isn’t really your thing? Don’t despair! There are simple, quick exercises you can do at home. Here are 5 equipment-free moves to slip into your daily life, plus a few tips to turn them into a proper routine.
The best exercises to do at home every day
The great thing about the exercises below is that they’re simple, only take a few minutes a day and don’t require any equipment. You can do them at your own pace at home, every day or at least 5 times a week.
Alongside them, don’t forget to use your Cellublue cupping cup every day on dimpled areas to take care of your skin. Stick to this routine consistently!

Exercise A
Simply sit cross-legged and place the soles of your feet together. Hold your feet in your hands and press your knees towards the floor for a few seconds. Do 3 sets of 10!
Exercise B
Lying face down, rest your forehead on your hands. Stretch your legs out with your toes on the floor, then lift one leg. Squeeze your glutes firmly. Do 2 sets of 15 for each leg!
Exercise C
Lying on your back, place your arms alongside your body, palms on the floor. Bend your legs with the soles of your feet on the floor. Then lift your hips and hold for a few seconds, without straining your back. Lower yourself back down gently. Do 2 sets of 15!
Exercise D
On all fours, with your arms fully extended and your head in line with your neck, stretch one leg out behind you. Make small circles in one direction, then the other, without putting your leg down. Do 2 sets of 15 for each leg!
Exercise E
Standing with your legs apart and your feet turned outwards, stretch your arms out in front of you. Then bend your knees and lower your hips (take care of your back) without arching your back. Do 2 sets of 12!
Organising your daily exercise routine
To turn these moves into a proper exercise programme, focus on consistency: do them every day, or at least 5 times a week. They only take a few minutes and require no equipment. So you can do them at your own pace at home, whenever suits you best.
