How to get the most out of your home workouts.
Losing weight can be the most frustrating thing a person can try to overcome in life. It feels like we have a constant reminder everywhere we turn. I get it I have been in your shoes.
I gained over 150 lbs. After having my 4 children and dealing with my depression. I did all the fab diets. I could never stick with it. I was bored of the food, starving. I was constant with my workouts. I felt uncomfortable and home workouts didn’t seem to do anything. Then one day I just had enough of feeling this way. I had to figure out what was going to work for me and be realistic for my lifestyle.
About me — Britt in training this a more in depth about my journey and results.
In this blog I will give you some good home workouts and equipment you could use to help you on this journey.
Loop bands are made of either elastic or fabric and can be looped around your ankles or thighs to add resistance to many lower-body workouts (think banded squats, fire hydrants, lateral banded walk sand more)

Tube bands are longer resistance bands that don't loop; rather, you can fasten handles or other accessories on either end and use them for upper-body workouts like rows, bicep curls, and more. These bands often come in sets with a door anchor, so you can use them like you would a cable machine at the gym.

3. Dumbbells are an essential part piece of equipment. they are a small bar with equal weight on both sides. I will honestly say that I have a love hate relationship with dumbbells for my home gym. I have I in a small space so to make room for a set or multiple sizes is a nuisance to me, and they end up being in the way no matter where I put them. My love for them is greater. Dumbbells have a wide range of how you can use them (Floor press, Goblet squat, marching in place with bicep curl, Renegade rows) and while resistance training is great for toning and weight loss if you are looking to gain muscle size dumbbells would be a huge benefit. I’m going to add a few options here for people needing a space options and ones not worried about that.
