Workouts with no gym access... - JP Fitness Forums

My friend would like to buy the book and do the workouts but she works out at home... she doesn't have a lot of equipment and she doesn't have access to a gym... Would it be doable is her question?

What equipment DOES she have?

I believe she has a bench and dumbbells... not sure what else... I know she doesn't have any cables or such... I am not even sure she has a barbell... I will check...

I guess it depends on a) which program and b) how strong she is ... if the dumb bells pose sufficient challenge for 12-15 reps or whatever, then go for it. And things can be modified - i.e. use DBs for deadlifts - if they are heavy enough.

Or if not, get heavier weights

While I go to a gym, for the time my wife does not want to. So we will start with a few dumb bells, a swiss ball, and a few of those rubber stretchers. I think they can be used for the various pulls. Let us know what your friend does, it might be helpful to us. Rob

Thanks! I send her the posts from you both...

I am just waiting to see what all she has as far as equipment...

I will let you know!

Any program can be modified and done in a home gym, but maybe it would be simpler for her to just go with something like Craig Ballantyne's bodyweight manual.

You can get a lot of great cheap equipment in classifieds!
