If you’ve only got a small amount of weight at home, adding some bands to your weights will give you more resistance. Making light weight much more challenging. Here is a workout with added band resistance for you to try out at home.
I have a mixture of small and large bands, varying in resistance. If you don’t have any bands, they are a great addition to add to the home gym as they are cheap and don’t take up much space.
For this workout, perform the following supersets for 3 to 5 sets of 8 to 10 reps. For further tips on technique for these exercises, you can find them all in the exercise li ..read more

For this workout you will need a barbell and a small amount of weight. If you don’t have a barbell, dumbbells or kettlebells can be substitutes.
A complex is a series of exercises performed one after the other, using the same equipment and same weight for all the exercises. All reps of one exercise need to be completed before moving to the next, and you can only put the equipment down once all exercises are done.
This is the second barbell workout I have posted for the Home Workout series. You can find the first one here to try another variation.

The suspension trainer is a great piece of equipment. There is so much you can do with it! It is also easily packed away into a small bag, which means you can take it anywhere!
Most suspension trainer comes with straps to clip around anchor points and/or a door stopper to have it attached over a closed door.
As soon as gyms were closed in March due to Covid-19, I purchased a suspension trainer to use at home and with my clients. Many of my clients now have their own, and even with gyms been reopen, most are still enjoying their home workouts.
Below is a suspension trainer workout for you to tr ..read more
