Stay at Home - Save $$$

Gyms and sports club are not the direct answer to getting in shape. We don't need to pay X amount of money each month to have a fancy gym membership when instead we could perform workouts at home. All you need is a stability ball, a pair of shoes and three sets of dumbbells (5lb, 10lbs, 30lbs). Trust me that is ALL you need.
Think about it...ask your parents and their parents how they exercised. Most of them probably played outside, did push-ups, climbed trees, picked up heavy objects... The list goes on... The point is that you could be saving hundreds and even thousands a year by promoting your home as your workout area.

Try this lower body routine using only a stability ball and dumbbells.
  • Body weight squats 15x15x15
  • Dumbbell wide stance deep squats (center hold) 5lbs x 15reps - 10lbs x 10reps - 30lbs x 8reps
  • 1min break 
  • Dumbbell clock lunges 10 lbs (2 cycles of clock)
  • Dumbbell Jump Squats 5 lbs (15x15x15)
  • 1min break
  • Stability ball wall squat (80/20) use 80% of weight on one leg and 20% of weight on the other leg. This causes your body to focus more on one leg then the other ie. more stress. 15x15x15
  • 1min break
  • Run/walk: 1min/2min: Total 20min
