Workout Ideas with Everyday Household Items

No weights, no problem!

One of biggest challenges that we all had to face amongst the quarantine and mandatory shut down is missing Kersey Kickbox Fitness Studio! I’ve always struggled with at home workouts and loved having the in-person atmosphere with the contagious energy and accountability to push me harder and stay motivated.

Even now, our lives get busy and often, there might be days where we can’t make it to the studio for a killer kersey workout.

But we have all heard the saying “consistency is key”. The more consistently you do something like workout, the easier it becomes, and the more momentum you build up. Eventually, what was once a struggle becomes a habit, and habits are hard to break. That’s why consistency is so important- it is the key to making lasting change.

Dropping a ton of money on equipment for a home gym isn’t necessary to get your sweat on. So many everyday items in your home can serve double duty as workout equipment with some modifications and creativity.

One of my favourite household items to get a sweaty workout in is a jug of laundry detergent! Have you ever noticed laundry soap is conveniently shaped like a kettlebell? The handle makes laundry soap easy to grip, and a fantastic replacement for a 10-pound kettlebell.
