Strength Training at home

  • The P90X2 training program is good for the home. There are some training devices to buy but it's not like the heavy stuff like a treadmill or elliptical. It uses the science of muscle integration and you train by keeping your balance.

    One option which was mentioned earlier in this thread is Body weight training.

    Two examples of people before and after body weights training:
    1 - http://bbcom.me/16JhEdD
    2 - http://bbcom.me/rAT3of

    Also recommend having a read of the book - You Are Your Own Gym, written by a former navy seal instructor. He explains alot about this technique, nutrition, exercise schedules etc.

    Examples of exercises that can be performed with body weight training (Video) - http://bit.ly/Ue9TZf

    There are plenty more sites and videos you can find on this type of training online.

    Second option would be to buy a set of resistance bands and chin up bar. You can do some great weight training exercises using both. You can buy them fairly cheap now online example - ebay, amazon. Plus they are both travel friendly so you never leave home without them.

    Im sure there are more options the MFP community can add. Good luck ;)
