Looking for a new workout challenge but are unsure of what to do? Consider trying the alphabet workout! The alphabet workout can be what you make it — choose random letters, spell out your name, or follow along with a random word. 

For many people, exercise can be boring when you are doing the same workouts all of the time. By simply picking exercises from an alphabetical list, you will constantly have a new challenge to tackle.

Below, we have a list of nine exercises for each letter of the alphabet. Click on the article designated to that letter for guidance on how to do each exercise and to discover what equipment it may require.

Also, if you are choosing to only exercise at home, be sure to consider our list of recommended at-home workout equipment (affiliate link) to add variety and resistance to your routine!
