4 Home Exercises That Will Make You Sweat Buckets

But sweating doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll burn more calories—neither will it help you lose more weight.

Here are a few things you can do to ensure that you sweat more in your workouts.

Exercise in a heated room or work out outdoors. The more heat there is, the easier it’ll be to sweat.

• Drink lots of water before and during the workout. It’s easier to sweat when you’re well hydrated.
• Train at high intensity. You’ll sweat faster if you perform exercises at a high intensity.
• Wear layers when exercising.

The body loses water when we sweat, so make sure you drink lots of water after a sweaty workout.

Perform the exercises below in one workout. Do 3 sets for each exercise and maximum reps for each set. Avoid taking long rests because the body will cool down.

1. Jump squats

Jump squats are a high intensity exercise that will strengthen the lower body and the core.

How to perform:

Stand upright, keep your feet shoulder-width apart and place hands behind the head.

Squat until the thighs are parallel to the floor.

Rise and quickly jump off the floor. Then return to starting position and repeat.

2. Mountain climbers

Mountain climbers are a great full body exercise that mainly target the core. Perform them fast to sweat fast.

How to perform:

Start in the straight-arm plank position.

Tighten the core, then bring one knee as close to the chest as possible.

Quickly return that knee to starting position as you simultaneously bring the other knee close to the chest.

Keep alternating the legs as fast as possible.

3. Incline bench burpees

Don’t let the word burpees discourage you. This is an easy variation and you’ll probably be able to perform it.

:

Stand a step away from a bench and keep your feet a few inches apart.

Jump off the floor, place your hands on the bench, then walk back two steps.

Walk forward to starting position, jump and repeat.

This is a full body exercise and will improve your cardiovascular health.
