Barbells have been around forever now and if you go to a gym and don’t see a set of barbells, you need to leave right away. Barbells effectively work out most of the major upper and lower body muscle groups to promote body mass, strength and stamina. These ten barbell exercises are sure to help […]
You’ll start by going through the four moves, doing 10 reps of each (that’s 10 reps on each side for the side plank twists, and 10 x 2=20 reps for the kettlebell swings). The next round, you’ll do 9 reps of each, reducing each round by 1 until you reach the tip of the pyramid where you praise
This time, I’m making all the arm exercises a little more dynamic so that you work your core as well. Instead of just doing a shoulder press, you do it while holding a boat pose; instead of just doing a triceps kickback, you do it while in plank. This one is quick (12-18 minutes, depending

I was really angry when I made up this workout (I missed a spin class because traffic was bad…life is so hard). In an effort to release some of that pent-up frustration, I wanted to put together an interval workout that, of course incorporated strength training, but was primarily cardio-focused—lots of jumping around. This was
Chin ups, sit ups, push ups. We’re keeping things super simple with today’s workout. Pull ups and chin ups are something I can’t yet do unassisted (I’m working on it!), so I tie a resistance band around the bar and place one of my feet through it. It helps so much! The lower the resistance of
