Bronx, NYC Personal Trainer & Pilates Instructor
Three years ago I started training a client who wanted to lose thirty pounds. She was only able to train with me once a week and sometimes even once every week. To fill in for the times I would not train her, I started emailing her biweekly basic at home workouts based on some of the exercises we did together and told her to alternate them with cardio and report back to me. She stuck to this program and fast forward three years she’s lost forty pounds has maintained and now leads a very active lifestyle.
An example of one of the at home workouts I gave my clients is as follows.
Warmup – do each exercise for 30 seconds and repeat circuit 3 times
Jumping jacks
Run with high knees
Alternate punches at high tempo
Circuit one – 1 minute each exercise. repeat three times
Situps
Leg raises while lying on your back
Alternate crunches (bring your elbow to your knee)
Circuit 2 – repeat 3 times
15 bicep curls to shoulder press
20 stationary lugs on each leg while holding weights
20 pushups.
