Easy 30-Minute Exercise Routines

Getting regular exercise is an essential component to maintaining your overall health and wellness. Lace up those runners, and let’s explore the components of a few easy 30-minute exercise routines you can do around your home with minimal equipment!

Warm Up

Taking the time to properly warm up before doing a higher-intensity workout can help prevent sore muscles and injury. Before you begin, take a couple of minutes to do some light movement to warm up your body and a few brief stretches to get your muscles ready for activity.

Cardio Exercise

Cardio is an essential element of any exercise routine because it helps to reduce arthritis and strengthens your heart and muscles, as well as preventing high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. According to the American Cancer Society, adults should be getting at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 of vigorous exercise per week.

Some great ways to easily incorporate cardio into a 30-minute exercise routine include going for a run, biking, or taking a brisk walk! Remember to stay hydrated, don’t do cardio on an empty stomach, and always stretch before and after.

Muscle Strengthening Exercise

After you’ve raised your heart rate with some cardio, you can incorporate exercises to strengthen your muscles! For example, squats, pushups, and bicep curls are great activities that can be done with weights or modified to use your body weight and build muscle mass. If you’re just beginning to regularly workout, start slowly and work your way up to heavier weights.

Want a routine to follow along with? Try out this fun HIIT workout that can be done from home, requires no equipment, and will get your muscles working to burn calories and strengthen your body!

Cool Down

Just as we discussed the importance of warming our muscles up before we exercise, a brief cool-down is also essential to ease yourself out of strenuous activity. A proper cool-down lowers your chance of injury, promotes blood flow, and reduces stress on your heart and other muscles!

Covenant HealthShare, Inc. (“Covenant”) is a non-profit health care sharing ministry (“HCSM”). As a HCSM, Covenant facilitates the sharing of medical expenses amongst its members, but Covenant is not an insurance company, and neither its guidelines nor program of operation is an insurance policy. Covenant members voluntarily share each other’s medical expenses in accordance with membership guidelines administered by Covenant and its affiliates. Sharing is available among members for all qualified medical expenses; however, Covenant does not guarantee or promise that your medical bills will be paid or assigned to other members for payment. Whether any other member chooses to contribute, in whole or in part, to the payment of your medical bills is completely voluntary on the part of that member. As such, membership in Covenant should never be considered as a substitute for an insurance policy. Whether you or your provider(s) receive any payments for medical expenses, and whether or not Covenant continues to operate, you are always liable for any unpaid medical bills. This HCSM is not regulated by state departments of insurance. Select states explicitly exempt HCSMs that, among other requirements, post a state specific notice advising consumers in such state that a HCSM is not an insurance company, does not offer or provide insurance policies, and is not insurance. As a HCSM, Covenant’s operations are exempt from insurance regulations. Although Covenant does not rely on such explicit exemptions under state law in order to operate as a HCSM, Covenant has chosen to publish these state specific notices.
