Every year before the new year arrives, you make resolutions. You start dieting and exercising. But within a few months, everything gets buried. Irregularity begins again. However, this time there's no need to wait for the new year to arrive – there are plans to start exercising beforehand. There's no need to go to the gym for that. To keep yourself fit and fine, practice these 4 exercises at home from now on.
Heel Raise
Stand straight on the mat. Keep your breathing normal. It's good if there's something to hold onto in front like a table or railing. Understanding your body's balance and keeping your waist and back taut, now slowly start lifting your heels from the ground. Keep in mind that the entire body weight will be on the front part of your feet. So maintaining body balance is essential. Initially, standing on your toes might be a bit problematic. This exercise can be practiced for 30 seconds at first, then gradually up to 60 seconds.

Glute Bridge
Lie down straight on the mat. Then bend your knees and bring both feet close to your hips. Place your hands on both sides of your body. Now, supporting yourself on your feet, slowly lift your waist from the ground. Wait for a few moments, then lower it back to the ground. This way, you can practice the glute bridge pose at least five times.
Wall Push-up
It would be good if you could do push-ups lying face down on the mat on the ground. But that's quite difficult. Those who cannot do push-ups this way should take help from the wall. Stand at arm's length from the wall. Place both hands on the wall. Practice push-ups slowly this way.

Squats
Stand straight on the mat. Then slowly bend your knees and try to make the posture of sitting on a chair. Since there's no chair, you won't be able to sit there. Keeping this in mind, practice this posture.
