You should not worry. Here is a handy laminated wall chart that you can refer to for ideas. With these exercises on display, you can just concentrate on doing the exercises instead of thinking of what exercise you should do next, and avoid repeating the same ones. It is like having a silent trainer to accompany you with your workout.

They come in a good large size (20 x 30 inches) that you can hang nicely on the wall for an easy read. A quick glance at the poster will also remind you that you still have to do your fitness routine for the day.

  1. These are fantastic pieces of exercise equipment that most would rarely think of – something like the aerobic stepper. Each piece of equipment is rather cost-effective as well and one doesn’t have to carve out a spot for storage. Even without actual dumbbells, I could definitely get a great workout – especially core and cardio – from these. I miss those stretch resistance bands for legs – I used to do movements like lateral walks with them up and down a track – talk about a tough workout!

    With this challenge facing us, is it possible to adapt workouts that target the same muscle groups without equipment? If so, how can this be done?
