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

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
