When a client comes to me for personal training in London Bridge, I also recommend that they do some exercise outside of our training sessions. Now, many think at first that means that they have to sign up to a gym. However, as I always tell them, you can do a great training session in the comfort of your own home with some useful, inexpensive home exercise equipment.
1.Exercise Mat
These inexpensive piece of equipment has many uses and can easily be stored away in your home. You can use an exercise mat to do yoga or pilates, great workouts for toning the body. You can also use an exercise mat for doing core exercises such as planking and sit-ups. Clients who come to me for personal training in London Bridge find that the exercise mat helps them to create a workout atmosphere, as we use them in our sessions for various exercises.
2.Kettlebells
As a personal trainer in SE16, I am a big fan of kettlebells. They are an inexpensive yet versatile piece of home exercise equipment. You can use them as dumbbells, to work specific muscles or for kettlebell exercises, which offer total body strength training. They are great for helping to improve posture too. They are easily stored – mine often doubles up as a door stop! I recommend an 8kg weight kettlebell for women and a 16kg for men, just to start out with.
3.Skipping Rope
Skip in your garden, your bedroom or your kitchen. Wherever or whenever you skip, you are conducting a great cardio workout. Skipping can burn anything from 110 to 200 calories every ten minutes and so can be a great exercise for those who are trying to lose weight. If you find yourself getting bored after a few minutes, try to do some tricks. This will certainly make the exercise a little more interesting and bump up the workout intensity.
As a personal trainer in SE16, sometimes I workout at home myself. These three items are enough to make sure those workouts are time well spent.
