Years ago, we released this episode to help folks have effective home workouts. Today, we wanted to bring it back and remind you that you can get an awesome workout without ever setting foot in the gym.

In this episode, we go over how you can structure your workouts at home, using just your body weight or sparse equipment.

We first identify the tools you have to increase the intensity of a body weight workout such as tempo work, isometric exercises, and unilateral work. We give examples of how we incorporate all of them into different movements that we do at home.

Because of people’s busy schedules, many people can only workout 3 days a week. We go over how to structure a well rounded at-home workout plan, and give an example of what that actually looks like. We talk a little bit about how breathing and intention can up-level your workout routine. And, finally, we go over what equipment is really beneficial to have at home. A pull-up bar is high up on our equipment list, because you have to get creative about adding pulling movements at home without one.

If you’re going to be working out at home for long periods of time, you need to follow a program and get a good coach who understands how to challenge you and progress you with bodyweight movements. Go to barpathfitness.com to set up a free consultation to see if one of our trainers could be that for you.
