When I Can't Make it to the Gym....

I try to get in some sort of workout at home anyway, if I can!

So, this Saturday I slept in and didn't make it to the gym. Being that with my current schedule I can only make it to the gym twice a week, I didn't want to miss out completely. So here are some exercises you can do at home without a lot of equipment if you aren't able to get to the gym.

1- Pushups
Use different hand placements for a varied workout.

2- Chair Dips
Grab a chair and do some dips on it!

3- Resistance Curls
My wife has a set of 10 lbs dumbbells. A little light for doing curls. So, to pre-fatigue the muscle, I would hold them in place for as long as I could, then do some regular curls. This made it a lot harder to do the curls and also gave me a bit of a pump even though I was only using 10 lb weights.

4- Crunches
You just need a floor to do these.

The whole point here is that even though I wasn't able to make it to the gym this Saturday, at least I was able to do something. When it comes to motivation and dedication I've found that at least doing something is much better than doing nothing.
