For many of us, planning to incorporate exercise into our daily routine ends with the idea of going to the gym on a daily basis. But who said you need to work out to get in shape? There are many effective home exercises that allow you to stay in shape without the need for any big or fancy equipment. Simple, standard toning moves can easily be modified to become more effective ones that help you get the most out of every minute you spend working out. While many other types of training are needed to achieve overall fitness (strength training, cardio, stretching, etc.), total body strength training and HIIT (high-intensity interval training) work best for burning body fat quickly. Huh.
Here are 5 effective exercises that you can do at home to stay in shape:
jumping jacks
Stand straight with your arms at your sides. Bend your knees slightly and place your feet slightly more than shoulder-width apart. At the same time, extend your arms above your head. Return to your starting pose and hold for 30 consecutive seconds.

Burpees
Keep your feet shoulder width apart. Lower your body into a squat, place your hands on the ground in front of your feet, and in one continuous movement lower your feet back to the ground in a plank pose. Then, bring your feet back to your hands and jump straight up in the air. repeat. Add a push-up in plank position to make it more difficult. For less impact, try squat thrusts instead: The motion is similar to a burpee, except you don’t complete the explosive jump at the end and only stand up.
push up
To burn extra calories, you can also do plyometric push-ups, which involve pushing off your hands and staying in the air for one second at the top of the push-up. This activity should be included in the list of best at home fat burning workouts because it works the whole body.
squat jumps
Position your body in a squat position with your feet shoulder-width apart (keep the back and upper body lifted, while the hips and buttocks remain low to the ground as if sitting in an imaginary chair). Maintain a firm core and deliver an explosive jump shot. Lean lightly on your feet and immediately lower yourself into a squat. repeat.
Above the knee
From a standing position, lift your left knee into your chest. Quickly switch your legs such that your right knee is now pulled into your chest. Keeping your knees alternating and your arms in a running motion, lift your left arm over your right leg and raise your right arm alongside your left leg in a steady motion.
