Alright, let’s get right to it, I wanted to get back to doing some strength training since having my son and I have to do it at home, with minimal equipment. Also, I don’t have a whole lot of time. I would be willing to bet many of you are in this same boat. Here is a fairly basic routine I have been doing 2-3x/ week (mostly 2x/week) on nonconsecutive days.
- 12 Squats (body weight)
- 12 Pushups (against our step, I cannot do them off the floor yet)
- 20 Second plank.
- Repeat 2-3x
- Walking lunges (body weight), 10 on each leg, 20 total
- 12 Bent over rows (using my resistance band)
- 12 Lateral raise (resistance band)
- 15 Scissor kicks
- Repeat 2-3x
- Reverse lunge (body weight), 10 on each leg
- 12 Lat pulldown (resistance band)
- Oblique twists- 10 to each side, 20 total
Repeat 2-3x
This routine doesn’t take more than 20 minutes; all you need is a resistance band and something to time yourself with, whether it’s a watch or your phone. Give it a try!
