Im going to share a few short and easy home workouts to occupy your time during this quarantine! Home workouts need to be an exercise that can be done easily without weight and that do not require a lot of moving room. These can be used for abs, arms and your booty!

Ab Workouts!

This cycle of ab workouts are what I do every single time I’m in the gym. Every. Single. Time. They are simple, yet effective!

•Crunches

•Bicycle Kicks

•Small Butterfly Kicks

•Wide Butterfly Kicks

•Russian Twists

•Mountain Climbers

•V-Ups

Arm Workouts!

Arm workouts can easily be made, any body weight movements are good for toning up! Even if you don’t have any fancy movements to do, all you half to do to feel it in your arms... hold a plank. Then move the plank to push up position (no pushups, or pushups your preference) and then back down to plank. Do that for 45 seconds and tell me you don’t feel a slight ache from round one.

•Push ups

•Regular Planks

•Push Up Planks

•Mountain Climbers

•Burpees

Booty Moves!

What better pass time when stuck inside then improving and making booty gains! These can be the most motivating, for me, coming in close with abs! Leg and butt workouts can easily be done with body weight movements, just like arms. But, if you want to challenge yourself you can always add weight. It doesn’t have to be from a dumbbell. Pick up a stack of books or magazines, water packages, dog food bag, anything you can find that will challenge you a bit! Here a few of my favorite!

•Dumbbell Squats (Item Squats)

•Regular Body Weight Squats

•Bridges (Lay on your back , bend your knees and lift your butt into the air, touch the ground them back up.)

•Lay on your side and lift your top leg into the air, making a sideways V. Lift and slowly bring down then lift again, multiple times.

These are just a few at home movements to keep your body moving and healthy during this time. Any of these can be altered, a few of them even work two target areas at once!

Don’t think that just because you can’t access a gym, you can’t keep moving and pushing towards your goals.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
