Here are five workouts you can do without needing any equipment in the comfort of your home.

Single-leg stretch

To do a single-leg stretch, you have to lie down on your back. Now, lift your torso from the ground and keep your legs raised. Followed by bringing each knee closer to your chest while holding the knee and the ankle of the leg.

Double-leg stretch

This move is similar to a single-leg stretch, but in the case of a double-leg stretch, you have to lift both your legs and torso in the air, while bringing your knees closer to your torso and moving your arms forward so that your palms touch your ankles. Now, gently move your arms behind your head and straighten your legs to stretch your body. Repeat the motion to do the workout.

Single Straight-leg stretch

To do this exercise, you have to lie down on the ground and lift your torso and do leg raises alternatively, while bringing one leg near your head. Ensure to place your hands under your calves for support, as the other leg touches the ground. This pilates workout focuses on strengthening the core and the hamstrings.

Double straight-leg stretch

Lie down on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. For support, place your palms behind your head and do leg raises. Engage your core by lifting your head, neck, and shoulders off the mat.

Crisscross

Crisscross workout focuses on core strength, stability, coordination and flexibility. To do this exercise, you have to lie on your back, with your torso raised from the ground. For support, place your hands behind your head and extend both legs, then bring each leg closer to your head while your knees are bending.
