Here is a selection of easy at home exercises anyone can practice: 1.
Walking - either on a treadmill or in your neighborhood, walking must be an important component of your home workout plan.

Calf raises - here is how to execute seated calf raises.
Put a raised object in front of a bench.
Sit straight on the bench and place your feet at the edge of the object.
Make sure your heels are not supported.
(Here, your legs form an angle of about 90 degrees with your upper body).
Now put a barbell on your upper thighs just above the knee.
Without moving your feet, raise high your heels until you feel calf muscles tighten.
Progressively move back down your heels.
3.
Squats - This is another exercise for your legs and lower body.
This can be done using a barbell or without any.

Now slowly roll the ball forward.
Start lifting your chest off the ball and raise the shoulders up until your body reaches a straight position.
Do this a few times.
