You cold enough yet?

I know I am…. the garage is pretty darn chilly when it’s like 9 degrees outside.

Don’t even get me started on gripping an ice cold barbell. Brrr! Even Frosty wouldn’t like that.

The low temps lately have got me thinking about training in the cold weather. It definitely is not pleasant and I won’t try to defend that.

BUT my goals as far as training are much more important than being comfortable and cozy and wasting time and money at a commercial gym, so I’m cool with it.

Or maybe I’m just insane- jury is still out on that one.

Now you may not be as crazy as I, out in the cold Pennsylvania winter pumping iron. But there are still many ways to stay in shape this winter without even having to go out into the cold or the gym.

Enter: Home Workouts

Working out at home may be just what you need. It’s cheap, effective, and challenging if you get creative and are determined.

This is what I originally started doing back in the day with just a set of adjustable dumbbells.

All you really need are a set of those and some resistance bands like this:

I personally have this set and they are great for all kinds of exercises like rows, curls, face pulls, and lat pulldowns. Combined with dumbbells and your bodyweight you have all you need at your disposal.

I will make a video in the future going over these bands and the various ways to use them but I highly recommend getting a pair!
