Given a choice between a gym and training at home, home wins every single time (for the simple reason you can be more expressive at home than at a gym). Sadly, my present home is too small (and it is small because our family had to downsize due to economic constraints)

I would love to check out gyms in my area but I have a daughter that I need to watch over. So training at home is my best option. I do train with my husband, other daughter, son in law and I have a girlfriend that comes over and trains with me occasionally. My friend asked me to come to her gym on a Saturday sometime when my husband would be home so I could go. So I'm looking forward to that.  This is part of my home gym it's about 300sq feet in total but this is my favorite part. I do go hard! HTH

 

 

I know I have my own massive studio all to myself.... but I am still jelly of your home gym! haha I love it!

Hey Ivan! welcome to the site brotha!

 

and I hear you. It is very hard to not be distracted when at home.. but it sounds like you are doing well. When I was a kid I used to lift in my basement. I had ONLY my weights and a radio so it was very easy to get lost in the workout and not worry about distractions. Maybe try that! #HTH

I've only recently tried to get in better shape, but this is what I've been doing at home the last few days anyway. I always try for 10 reps per exercise, and am going for 3 sets right now. I haven't been doing all these exercises each time, but have been picking 3-4 to do.

 

Pushups

Dips (using coffee table)

Bicep curls with curl bar (both outside and inside grip)

Lunges with curl bar (more comfortable than straight bar on my shoulders)

Overhead presses with curl bar or dumbells

 

I'm wanting to try hammer curls soon, but I don't have enough weights to make my dumbells even. I have two 10lb plates, and two 5lb, as well as four 2&1/2lb plates, but I've weighed the dumbells seperately, and they are a couple of pounds different in this setup. I've ordered a bench which should be ariving soon, so I can be adding dumbell bench, barbell bench, and hopefully flyes to this as well.

If u doing training like that,u better plan to see your workout's like superset's....that i mean to try hit one day all of upper body in 5-6 exersize in 4-5 superset's....no pause between exersize,2 minutes between set's...next day u do lower body musles same in 5-6 exersize's and set's...

 

Plan to workout two day,than one dat rest....that mean...

Monday:upper body

Tuesday:lower body

Wednesday:rest

Thursday:upper body

Friday:lower body

Saturday:rest

Sunday:do some cardio and streaching-prepare your body fot monday!

 

When i was start to train litle more on volume,i'm workout in 3 superset's and reps per exersize 1 set-10* 2 set-15* 3 set-max reps*

All that i'm done in 35-40 minutes and after that my muscles are be prepare to back in gym,and i gain some strenght too!! :)

thanks for the reply. I'm not entirely sure what supersets are, unless you are talking about doing all the exercises in one set, then repeating. if that's the case, then I need to learn to comprehend what I read better I guess. also, since I didn't list as many lower body exercises, could anyone give a few suggestions? I'm a little limited on space to move around, which is why I haven't tried stepping lunges yet. When my bench arrives, I also plan on starting to do hamstring curls like Scott did in at least one of his videos.

All I read was sissy squats, and stopped there....AWESOME thing to add to legs, and not a very well-known exercise with most people, since I saw a "10 commandments for leg workouts" and it NEVER mentioned "Sissy squats are NOT for sissies" XD.
