For those of you looking for an alternative to dumbbells, a weighted body bar can be a nice addition. They vary in weight size from 8 to upwards of 20 lbs. I use them for shoulders, arms, lower back, thighs, tush, upper back and chest. You can do it all with one single bar! Storage is a snap, as it stands up in a corner taking up no space at all. I’ll list just a few of many exercises you can do with this body bar:
- Bicep Curls
- Tricep Press
- Dead lifts for lower back and hamstrings
- Squats for thighs and tush
- Chest press (laying down, pressing bar upwards)
- Rowing for lats
- Overhead press for shoulders
These are just a few basics you may recognize; I’m happy to show you other exercises that make for great “muscle confusion”! (Confusion is what your muscles want to keep things fresh and effective.)
Warm regards,
Margo
