Introduction
Rainy days often stop our outdoor workouts, but you don't need a gym to stay fit. These 7 indoor exercises are ideal for women during the monsoon season—they maintain fitness, boost immunity, and elevate mood, all while staying safe indoors.
1. Indoor Walking or Spot Jogging
If you can’t go outside, walk or jog in place indoors for 15–20 minutes. It’s a great cardio option without needing equipment.
2. Yoga or Stretching Routines
Perform gentle yoga poses like Surya Namaskar, cat-cow, and child’s pose to stretch and activate your muscles.
3. Bodyweight Exercises
- Squats (15 reps x 2 sets)
- Push-ups or wall push-ups (10–12 reps)
- Plank hold (30–45 seconds)
4. Skipping Rope (if space allows)
Jump rope for 5–7 minutes. This calorie-burning activity improves heart health and coordination.
5. Stair Climbs or Chair Step-ups
If you have stairs or stable chair, step up and down 10–15 times per leg to tone legs and burn fat.
6. Dance Workouts
Turn on your favorite playlist and dance for 10–15 minutes. It’s fun, stress-reducing, and keeps you moving!
7. Light Household Chores with Mindfulness
Cleaning, rearranging, or even sweeping mindfully can burn calories—just stay active and focused.
