Chair squats work your lower body muscles, which include the gluteus, hamstring, and quadriceps muscles. Use slow, controlled movements. Count to three going down, and tap your buttocks on the chair seat. Hold that position for three counts. Do one to three sets of 15 repetitions.
Crunches help tone abdominals.
Do two to four sets of 30 repetitions, resting one to two minutes between sets. In addition, staying active while you're away makes it easier to get back into your exercise routine when you get home. This winter, don't let your exercise program drop as quickly as the temperatures outdoors. Winter is the most common time of year for people to become sedentary, but it doesn't have to be. Home exercise equipment can help fitness buffs adapt their workout for indoors.
