Simple Fitness Approach: Minimal Equipment + effort = Results

People are always surprised by how much muscle, strength, and general health you can build with:


A few kettlebells


A pullup bar


A resistance band set


With those 3 items, I can find multiple exercises for every movement pattern and train each muscle group progressively without having to leave the house.


More equipment can be great. But it can also be a distraction.


Don't wait until you have a fully stocked gym or the time and money to go to a fully stocked gym.


Invest in some simple, fairly inexpensive equipment.


Select some exercises that cover these bases:


Horizontal push

Horizontal pull

Vertical push

Vertical pull

Squat

Hinge

Lunge

Bicep isolation 

Triceps


Everything beyond this is a bonus. But, I can still do leg curl variations, lateral raises, upright rows, endless ab exercise variations.


From here, simply focus on doing more reps, more weight, more sets, or a more challenging exercise variation over time.
