Simple Weighted Exercises
Simple Weighted Exercises:
Working out at home does not mean that you need to have a home gym with a large amount of equipment. Instead, you can consider having a few different weighted sets of dumbbells and resistance bands. See our favourite simple weighted exercises for at home below.
Weighted Lower Body Exercises: many of the bodyweight workouts for the lower body can also be made more challenging by adding weights. Consider adding weight to movements such as squats, lunges and jumps. This will help you to build muscle while keeping it simple and accessible when working out at home.
Weighted Upper Body Exercises: There are a wide variety of upper-body weighted exercises that can easily be done at home. Though a bench may be helpful, almost any movement can be modified to be done with just a set of dumbbells. Our favourite exercises included bicep curls, rows, front raises and push-ups with alternating rows.
Always remember that form is the most important thing to consider when using weights to workout. If you cannot do a movement safely or properly with a higher weight don’t be afraid to lift less. Consider watching YouTube videos or reaching out to one of our expert personal trainers for assistance with proper form.
