Embrace Your Real

How to Keep Yourself Challenged When You Don't Have Access to Other Weights


Listen Later

This episode is for the woman who works out at home, doesn't have a bunch of dumbbells and is looking to get a greater challenge from her workout. Because here's the thing: working out regularly is great…but even if you're working out consistently your body will eventually adapt to the weights you're using, thus not increase the demands you are placing on your body which can and will cause a plateau in your results. If investing in heavier weights right away is not in the cards, there are ways to structure your workouts to increase the demands without more weights.

Things I talked about:

  1. Implement to failure
  2. Superset movements
  3. Circuit training
  4. Drop sets
  5. Pyramid sets
  6. Cardio between sets
  7. Add bands
  8. Change the tempo
  9. Shorter rest between sets
