Need poor mans home strength training workouts

taunto

Today, on one of my serious workout days (I do it 3x a week) I did 30 minutes of stationary bike, 53 pushups, 90 squats, 30 seconds planks. Can you guys recommend me other exercises that'll hit any muscles that I'm missing out with these workouts? I have 2x25 lb dumbells at home if that helps

Also, I walk alot besides these worouts

Lots of dumbbell exercises you can do with 25lb dumbbells. Google and youtube some.
- Chest Flys
- dumbbell press
- squats
- hammer curls
- and on and on...

Lots of body weight exercises you can do at home easily....
- many variations of crunches / situps
- reverse
- bicycle
- weighted crunches
- plank crunches
- dumbbell side bends for obliques
- mountain climbers
- jumping jacks
- burpees
- high knees
- lunges w/ dumbbells

and so on.... theres literally 100s of things you can do. Google or use Youtube to find them
Pick like 15 exercises and do them 30 seconds or a set number of reps. do the list 2-3 times. creates good circuits.

You can make your own TRX set up for less than $40 (tie down straps, carabiners, ceiling ring, and 12 inches of PVC tubing) At Home Depot and that will work every muscle and then some. Limitless possibilities. I have mine in the garage, doesn't get much use in winter but will get more as weather warms up.

I have an iPhone app called You Are Your Own Gym. It's bodyweight and exercise that can be done with common household objects. Amazon has the book too.

This is GENIUS! We use TRX in our tri team - thus my profile pic - and those things are intense! Never thought to make my own!!

Hell yeah dude, save yourself $100. Mine is actually stronger, you couldn't break this thing if your were 400 lbs.

Here is a pretty good page with a full routine for someone with nothing more than dumbells. And if you have questions on form, each exercise has a quick clip of a guy doing them.

alternating supermans are an excellent compliment to planks.
