I would like to introduce you to my workout partner. I don’t always have time to go to the gym but it is important for me to stay in shape, lift regularly and stick to some kind of workout régime. So I make due with what I have. It would be easy to skip the gym some days, it would be easy to say I’ll go tomorrow but I wouldn’t settle for that. With this little weight right here I can cover an assortment of muscles that I need to be in shape and ready to perform.
With a little bit of knowledge, commitment, variety and determination this single piece of equipment can make it happen.
Exercises I am able to do with this weight (it won’t matter much if you know what every exercise is):
*all single arm of course with only one weight
Biceps- curls, concentration curls, hammer curls.
Triceps-overhead extensions, kickbacks.
Shoulder-lateral raises, military press.
Back-shrugs, bent over row.
Legs-Weighted squats, lunges and calf raises.
A couple things you might want to try if you have limited weights or are working out at home. Increasing the reps, circuit (no rest in between exercises), Superset (ex. One set of bicep curls, without rest, one set of tricep kickbacks.) For more info on variety you can visit my 7 Secrets on the home page.
Suddenly taking time to go to and from the gym is not a factor, nor is the money for a membership. And with my cardio machine (shown below), I have everything I need. (Talk about easy storage).
Sometimes ‘tomorrow’ isn’t good enough.
