I hope you are doing well. These are difficult times as we’ve been told many times over, and I’ve managed to keep up some form of routine through my own workouts, and trying to eat as healthy as posssible. The challenge is making due with what I have on hand, but must admit I’m probably luckier than most. I have access to a large range of dumbbells and bands, and recently pulled out of storage my barbell and cast iron plates I must have bought when I was a teenager. Overall, its not near the weight I’m used to using at the club, but it’s better than what most have access to. I have no benches or racks so everything is done off the floor and is spread throughout the house. It’s challenging but it works. I manage to do a leg workout on Monday, chest and back on Wednesday and glutes on Friday. There is so much more I should be doing but like everybody else, sometimes you need to wrap your head around what’s missing first, and appreciate the importance they play in achieving your goals. The key to success is committing to an action and doing it consistently over and over again. The measurement of that action will tell you if it’s working or not.
How are you making out working out at home and what challenges have you had to overcome? Are you still looking for solutions? Working with clients virtually has brought many challenges on how to perform resistance training with little to no equipment, but it is possible with some imagination.
Attached is my assortment of dumbbells ready to go. I al;so want them readily available if I need them for exercise demo purposes when needed. There are sets in 5, 10, 20, 25, 35 and 45 lb dumbbells plus a 20 lb kettlebell.
