If you’re in self isolation due to the COVID-19 outbreak, you may need some help to stay active. Here’s the 5th in a series of simple at-home DIY equipment (or zero equipment) workouts I’m posting to help you have fun, keep moving, and challenge your fitness.
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of each, alternating between:
- laundry basket deadlifts
- chair tuck-ups
Equipment…
For deadlifts
- laundry basket and whatever amount of laundry gives you an appropriate level of resistance
- dumbells/kettlebells/barbell (optional)
For tuck-ups
- chair or bench
- a mat for protection of your back if you decide to do sit-ups or atomic sit-ups
- a pull-up bar for hanging knee raises or toes to bar
Scaling up:
- increase range of motion (or the type of motion, as outlined)
- add weight, use heavier implement
- go faster (recommend this only for the tuck-up, sit-up, etc. NOT the deadlifts unless you are an experienced athlete)
