The No-Gym Workout for Busy Folks

2/24/2020

 
Picture
If you’re a parent or somebody who just doesn’t have the time (or money?) to go to the gym, then this workout will be your lifesaver. It will also remove all excuses you may have to avoid working out.
 
The workout was designed for non-gym goers. The seven-day workout can be repeated for as long as you desire. We suggest that you keep it up for at least 12 weeks before you alternate to a different routine. Routine alternation is key to avoiding plateau and boredom.
 
You will need a set of weights (5-10 pounds), a resistance band, or a few heavy objects. One of our mothers used their infant on some of the exercises!
 
Of course, you could do the exercises that require weights without them and you will tone your muscles, but you won’t see an extensive muscle gain. We had two women try this workout, one with weights and the other without weights, and both saw an increase in muscle tone.
