You’re thinking about adding strength training to your fitness routine but you’ve heard a few things and it’s holding you back from jumping feet in. Well let me break this misconceptions down so they are not a barrier for you anymore.
Strength Train Everyday
Unless strength training is your job and you are paid for it then you shouldn’t be and don’t need to workout everyday. My recommendation is three 20-45 minute workouts each week. But remember something is better than nothing. I’d rather you see be consistent with one killer workout each week than nothing at all.
Use Dumbbells
Although dumbbells are my favorite and are super effective and the varieties are endless. You do not need to ever touch dumbbells if you don’t want too. You can get killer workouts in with all the bands (fabric, mini, or resistance), sliders, or bodyweight. So saying you can’t strength train since you don’t have dumbbells isn’t an answer anymore.
Go To The Gym
Heck no! I haven’t step in a gym in almost four years. I love my home gym. It is convenient, open at any time, has the best music, only watching eyes are Dolce (my cat), has no dress code, and always smells good. Don’t get me wrong I did like the vibe the gym had but if you don’t like gyms or any reason the good news is you never have to step inside one. Home gym for the win!
Wake Up Early
When you should workout is what works best for you. It might be at 5am with me, it could be during lunch, whenever you can get the kids down for a nap, or after work. You need to pick what you can be consistent with. The best time to workout is when you will do it.
So no ma’am you don’t have to do any of these unless you want too. It’s totally up to you.
