My At Home Workout Routine With Hashimoto’s Disease

Hi everyone! By no means am I a trainer or professional, I just wanted to share this post for those looking for something similar! I also am a huge advocate for doing what works best for you and your body.. so please, always keep this in mind. I deal with Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism and it's extremely beneficial for me to do more than just straight cardio. I know gyms are open and they have great resources to get your workout in; however, I wanted to share my current at-home workout routine for some inspiration! I invested in some at home equipment such as weights, resistance bands, kettle balls, and an exercise bike. None of the equipment is "fancy" and too expensive and this works for a lighter workout! If there is a day or time where I'd like to use additional equipment or higher weights than I have at home, I do have a gym membership that I also love! :)

I typically do the weights and resistance bands first, then move to finish with cardio; however, this all depends on how I am feeling. There may be a day where I choose one over the other or simply switch the order because that is what I'm feeling like doing. As of right now, this is my current routine (this does change slightly, but this is really the foundation). 

Lower Body

Resistance Band Workout

• 50 frog openings 
• 10 donkey kick pulses (per leg)
• 20 donkey kicks (per leg)

Ankle Weights Workout 

• 10 fire hydrant kicks (per leg)
• 20 donkey kicks (per leg)
• 15 straight leg pulses 

Kettle Ball Workout 

• 15 deadlift 
• 15 backward lunges (per leg)
• 15 deadlift 

Upper Body 

Body Weight

• 10 push ups
• 20 cross chest taps 
• 10 triceps dips 

Kettle Ball Workout

• 20 overhead tricep extension 
• 15 bicep curl (per arm)
• 15 lateral raise (per arm)
• 15 tricep kickbacks (per arm) 
• 15 dumbell pullover

Abs

• 45 second plank
• 20 crunches
• 20 Russian twists (per side)
• 20 standing knee to elbow crunches 
• 50 mountain climbers

At this point, I will move to the bike and do about 45 minutes to an hour. 

The bike I have has resistance bands on it and typically if I strictly do a cardio workout, I'll utilize these; however, if I go through the entire workout I listed above, I usually won't use them.

We live in an apartment, so I don't have a nice gym area; however, make do with what you have! 

Hope you enjoyed this post! XOXO
