I've been doing okay with my work-out schedule. I've been doing a regular routine of tennis, treadmill and elliptical. All cardio. Now I need to add in some strength training and I want to figure out the best way to get this going at home. My plan is to start doing some crunches and small arm weights. I also have Wii fit (don't laugh, it can be exercise!).
I'm trying to see if I can fit this in at home before looking at gym options for a couple of reasons. First of all the cost, I don't want to add a gym membership into the monthly budget. Time is the second reason...I have 12-18 kid-free hours per week as Leah is at school 2, sometimes 3 days. I like to use them for tennis and long cardio sessions right now. Adding a gym for strength training would really cut into my time for errands and other things I like to also do while Leah is at school.
Any good suggestions for strength/weight training at home?
I used to pull strength exercises from sparkpeople.com. Once I found a few that I liked, I worked them into maybe a 30-40 minute "circuit" a few times a week.
ReplyDeleteI also feel like swimming is cardio with an extra boost of strength since there is the arm aspect.
