Home workout no equipment: a 30-minute Indian flat circuit

A bodyweight circuit in your drawing room burns about 140-210 extra kcal in 30 minutes for a 70 kg person, similar to a brisk walk. The bigger win is not the session burn, it is keeping your muscle, which protects your BMR while you are in a deficit. Squats, push-ups, lunges, plank, glute bridge, jumping jacks and burpees, all doable in a 2BHK with a yoga mat and two water bottles. No gym, no gear, no excuse.

You want to move, but the gym is far, fees are high, and your flat is small. The good news: your body weight is enough. This is a 30-minute circuit you can do inside a 2BHK, on a yoga mat, with two water bottles for support. No dumbbells, no bench, no shoes needed. We will give you the exact moves, sets and reps, then the honest calorie burn, and the one reason this matters more than the burn itself: keeping your muscle while you cut calories. That muscle is what holds up your BMR, the calories your body burns just to stay alive. Lose muscle in a deficit and your BMR drops. Keep it and the deficit keeps working for you.
