10 things I wish more women understood about working out from home:

as a personal trainer who started working out from home with dumbbells…here’s 10 things I would tell anyone who wants to start doing the same!! 🧚🏼‍♀️ 1. dumbbells can actually yield better results than machines at gym because you aren’t locked into a single movement pattern + are forced to stabilize on your own (big believer in this) (but gym equipment is still amazing). 2. don’t go out and buy a whole new dumbbell set. start with 3-4 dumbbell weights, not 10!!!! 3. form is always more important than how much you’re lifting. be sure to follow a guided tutorial (like our app) if needed 4. home workouts are so underrated for being consistent. 20 minutes in your living room every day is better than 1 hr workouts twice / week!! Literally worked out with my baby at my feet this morning & it only lasted 26 mins but better than nothing!! 5. you’re always more likely to see results if you follow a plan instead of winging it😈 6. take rest days seriously! go on a walk, stretch, do mobility 7. FORGET the all or nothing mindset. you will limit your progress if you keep giving up every time you miss a day 8. a bench + bands are non negotiable editions for a complete at-home workout🙂‍↕️ 9. track your progress. take pics, write it down. tracking these small improvements will help you see how much progress you’re actually making! 10. consistency is ALWAYS more important than intensity. keep showing up!!
