Despite what some people may lead you to believe, you can get a good workout in with simple pieces of kit such as dumbbells, kettlebells or a suspension trainer, or even using just your bodyweight.
Let's get straight to the point: working out from home can be just as effective as hitting the gym. Despite what some people may lead you to believe, you can get a good workout in with simple pieces of kit such as dumbbells, kettlebells or a suspension trainer, or even using just your bodyweight. Even as your strength grows and your fitness increases, you can still keep pushing yourself by increasing your reps, introducing more sessions per week, aiming for faster times, using more advanced movements, or using special techniques such as slowing down (or speeding up) the tempo of your exercises. That's a lot of ground to cover before you even have to consider investing in a heavier set of dumbbells.
