Making the Most with Minimal Equipment
I recently worked with Redfin to provide them with some insight on making the most of minimal equipment when doing home workouts for a blog post they put together titled 9 Home Workout Ideas to Stay Active and Fit at Home. See below for the excerpt featuring quotes and recommendations for me on how you can best utilize whatever equipment you have at home to keep working towards your fitness goals!
"Make the most with minimal equipment" Excerpt From Redfin's Blog Post
“I would highly recommend buying some bands (both long and mini bands),” suggests Evan Amell, owner of EA Fitness & Performance. “They are affordable and lightweight, making them easy to bring with you wherever you go.”
Amell recommends that each workout should include one squat or lunge movement (such as reverse lunges, walking lunges, or lateral lunges), two upper-body pulling exercises (like rows or pulldowns), one upper-body pushing exercise (such as push-ups or overhead presses), one hinge movement (like glute bridges or deadlifts), one core exercise (such as deadbugs, hollow holds, or planks), and one carry variation (like a farmer’s carry or suitcase carry). Aim for 3 sets of 12 to 15 reps for each exercise, except for the core and carry movements, which should be performed for 30 seconds each.
This well-rounded structure ensures you’re working your entire body in a balanced way, building strength, stability, and endurance without needing bulky equipment.
