Hey!

How’s it goin?

In today’s episode I’m talking about Ways to make your at home workout harder without flaring up injuries

Equipment needed:

  • Elastic resistance bands
  • Dumbbells 10+ pounds

Ways to make at home workouts harder

  • Add weight or resistance bands
  • Go from double leg to single leg
  • Add an isometric hold in the middle of a movement (hold for a count of 5+ seconds)
  • Add an eccentric controlled movement (go slower on return to start)
  • Stand on an unstable surface (pillow, foam, BOSU, etc)
  • Move the “easier” exercises to the end of the workout
