Two Exercises For An At Home Workout

I've been finding great joy figuring out ways to modify my gym routines to work out at home where I have limited tools.

This is a modified version of an offset trap bar deadlift and single arm landmine press, the two exercises I would have done at the gym.

Exercise becomes fun when you challenge yourself to get creative. And fun makes it sustainable.

Try these exercises at home. They are part of a 3 circuit workout (this is circuit 1).

Offset Suitcase Squat: Wearing a 30 lb vest and holding a 35 lb and 25 lb kettlebell

• Putting your feet in an offset position puts more emphasis on the front leg without making it a single leg movement. The back foot is still there for balance.

• I used kettlebells of differing weights because it’s all I had. Since the kettlebells were a lot lighter than the weight I would use at the gym, I added the 30 lb ruckssack.

  Kneeling Bottoms Up Shoulder Press: 15 lb kettlebell

• Turning the kettlebell on its head works shoulder stability and wrist strength. One of the keys to executing this exercise is keeping a tight grip to keep your wrist straight throughout the movement.

• Performing the movement on your knees reduces the ability to press through using momentum. Also, it was the only way I could figure out how to stay in frame 😉.
