Workout description
We have another workout for you guys to try at home. This one uses very little equipment so it is perfect if you're struggling to find ideas for strength training without the use of dumbbells or kettlebells. This session can easily be done as a circuit, performing each exercise for 45s with a 15s rest in-between. Or for 1-min with 30s rest between. Why not try 3-4 sets with a 2-minute rest between sets. It is an easy and time efficient way to include some strength work into your training. Just make sure your form is maintained throughout. Remember, don't sacrifice form to increase repetitions.
Resistance
If you are wanting to progress these exercises without having access to extra resistance, adapt the tempo at which you complete them. This can be as beneficial as adding resistance. Tempo is the rate at which you perform an activity. Essentially, try perform the exercises at a slower rate when moving eccentrically. For example, whilst squatting, try and lower for three seconds with a slight hold at the bottom before pushing up. This will increase your time under tension which requires more work from your muscles
