Claire Chadwick from Inspire Me Personal Training is here with us again to challenge us to get more from our home workouts.A great place to start is to keep all your major muscles resisting weight. To prevent you from losing muscle mass at this time, you might have to be creative in how you achieve this.
Take a look at this video which shows how you can add progressive difficulty to each set of exercises.
A well functioning body should be able to work in all directions – forward, backwards, sideways and diagonally, It should be able to work equally well on the left and right sides, and should be able to stabilise when facing a wobbly surface or weight. Some easily adapted home equipment can help with all of this. You can make mini versions of the equipment if the children want to join in. Remember to keep theirs light and yours as heavy as you can manage!
This video gives you some examples of exercises. Claire suggests a good session would be around 5-6 sets of 12-16 repetitions. This will depend on your strength and the weight you have.
If you add this to a mix of your family exercise, then you are certainly going to maintain if not improve tone.
Don’t forget you can join Claire every Monday to Friday at 8.36 am for a FREE 10 minute live abs session on her Facebook page.
