Stock up on paper plates
One heavy thing the gym doesn’t have a monopoly on?
Yeah, I just called you heavy.
Even if you’re a feather of a thing, you still likely weigh at least 100 pounds.
That’s a lot of weight.
Get pumped with H2O
Water is also kinda great when it comes to weight.
So forget about the dumbbells and buy two empty, three-gallon water jugs with handles.
Use an empty, one-gallon jug to fill the three gallon jugs.
You canuse your new “weights"for everything from shoulder press and bicep curls to lunges and deadlifts.
Just grab a one- or three-gallon water bottle to act as your weights.
Finally, you could use your kitchen counters for modified upper body exercises, such aspush-ups.
That’s what made the whole thing fun.
Now go about your business.
The sky is the limit for all the exercises you could try.
Cool down with a towel
After working up a good sweat, you deserve a good stretch.
Pull against the towel, rather than force your body, to lean further into each stretch.
Try thisquick total-body towel stretchfrom Jessica Smith TV to see a few stretches in action.
Take it slow and easy, aiming for roughly ten to 20 passes on each muscle group.
What matters is that you take the time to prioritize your health and get moving.
Don’t allow yourself to make excuses just because you don’t have a gym membership.
