I’ve lost 80 lbs in the past year with mostly walking and diet and sporadic weight lifting, but I’m trying to focus now on maintaining my loss and building muscle though a consistent and manageable routine. If helpful, I currently weigh around 135, im 5’5, and 25F.
I’ve found that the best way for me to be consistent with exercise is from home 3-5x a week. I have 3 kettlebells (10 lb, 15 lb, and 20 lb). I’m still working on building strength but I have a 3 day split, considering adding a full body day though. Is it possible to continue to progress in my fitness gains without going to the gym?
Ive included my split below and would love thoughts/suggestions! These workouts usually take me around 45 minutes.
Glute day (usually 2 rounds)
- goblet squats (20 lb) x12
- RDLs (20 lb) x 12
- split squats — body weight (still working on balancing) 12 per leg
- glute bridges (20 lb) x 12
- kb swings (20 lb) x15
Upper body day (2 rounds)
- bicep curl to overhead press (10 lb but working on getting to 15) x 12
- tricep extensions (10 lb) x 12
- bent over rows (15-20 lb) x 12 per arm
- lateral raises using household item x 12
- floor press (10-15 lb) x 12
Core day (2 rounds)
- plank 45 seconds
- Russian twists - 16x (one set with weight one set body weight)
- dead bugs - body weight - 10 each side
- leg raises x12
- finish with glute bridges
