Ouch!!!
Could someone please return my summer? I actually had to turn my seat-warmers on this morning on the way to my first client. The good news, the cold air brings everyone inside looking for someone to kick their butts. The bad news, it's cold.
Chicago is particularly unforgiving in the winter to its casual athletes, just giving all of us one more reason not to go to the gym. This is a perfect time to start getting things together for a modest back-up home gym. You really only need a couple of items to get an efficient workout in no matter the space.
- Stability Ball: This is an essential piece that can be used for anything from a bench to a weight.
-Hand Weights: From 5-45lbs. should work for most people even if you can lift way heavier then this in the gym up the repetitions at home.
-Resistance Bands: Compact and easy to use, great for travel.
-Jump Rope: Depending on your space this makes for a great cardio.
Sample Routine:
I recommend a circuit hitting 20-25 repetitions for 3-4 sets.
Push-ups
Floor Dumbbell Flys with Leg Lifts
Skull-Crushers
Shoulder Lateral Raise-Front Raise
Seated Stability Ball Military Press
Deadlift with Row
Bicept Curls
Easy Enough.
