Oh no. Everything ok?
What was your push up progression to get to 100?I think I love doing push-ups now... I still kind of hate them but I'm noticing so many improvements in my posture and ability to hold more static yoga poses without toppling over. Boat has always been challenging but tonight I was able to get my legs up and not fall over.
I think the need for a bench is dependent on your goal. Are you going for max strength or just interested in good body tone. If the latter is your goal, skip the bench and put a yoga mat on the floor. You can do most bench exercises on the floor and prevent adding a clothes depository to a crowded room. Lifting heavy off the floor is a challenge, I currently use a single 40 pound dumbbell and alternate hands. One advantage to the floor is it limits how far below your chest the arms can sink. Same principle for flys. That is good thing and protects the fragile shoulder joint. I'm 71, and have awful shoulders, so take every measure to mitigate more damage. Squats are easy if you already have an exercise ball. Ball against the wall, back against the ball, down you go. Use a dumbbell for weight if you want. Good for form, and once you figure it our your weight will never go over your toes. I'm fortunate, we have great recreation centers in Virginia Beach. That's good for me as I've met great people and the variety of equipment provides more possibilities.I figured I'd ask the knowledgeable citizens of this thread for your insight!
Due to a variety of factors, including the fact that it takes me over 20 minutes to get to the gym (and their hours of operations shrunk to the point it's not worth it), I'm not renewing my contract. The other gym nearby is a big fat no.
So, I thought of building a home gym in dedicated corner. I have some space, but not a lot and definitely not a lot of height, so no jumping.
I already have a treadmill (which I will likely have to replace soon), a couple of stability balls, some anchored resistant bands/bar/Pilates bar system, sliders, and an ab roller, and I'm looking for a couple of workout regimes to put together, because I need to have a program/plan before I start or else I'm just drifting.
However, I miss weights--a lot--and I know it's good to incorporate them. I was thinking of a foldaway bench and adjustable dumbbells, as they don't take up a lot of room and can be versatile. I was also hoping to find something that I can also use a barbell with
Any suggestions of kind/shop/experiences with adjustable dumbbells and/or barbells? Or foldaway benches?
(and any insights in finding programs and/or building a compact home gym that doesn't take a lot of space is welcomed)
Thanks in advance and thanks for the inspiration to keep on sweating!
