Training programs you can do at home

Hi,

I've got a plan I do at the gym which I like, but I was just wondering if circumstances suddenly change and getting to the gym becomes difficult (work, hospital, etc might be getting in the way soon) is there such a thing as a plan you can do at home that is at all useful for maintaining lean mass? I actually have a barbell and weights at home for just such an 'emergency' (shall we call it a 'bromergency'?) but no bench or rack so a bit limited as to what I could do with those.

    You might want to look into bodyweight-type exercises. You can usually incorporate weights if you want the extra effort, and many of them can be done in quite cramped circumstances (I should know, I currently live in a shoe box). You may also want to get a couple free weights in a good size for your fitness level as those will open up a lot more options.
