Do you work out at home, but you lack the exercise machines<\/a> or other helpful gadgets? Well, with the exercise routine below, all you need is a resistance band, a pair of dumbbells, and a towel to wipe the sweat out of your eyes. As a personal trainer, I don’t need the top of the line exercise equipment or weight machines to get an intense workout; all I need is motivation!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Resistance bands are fairly easy to come by, and you should be able to pick one up at your local sporting goods store for $6 to $20. Resistance bands are similar to cables, but less expensive and easy to transport.\u00a0Dumbbells<\/a> can also be found at your local sporting goods store or online as well. The price of dumbbells vary due to their weight and size.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The workout regimen below consists of several different resistance band and dumbbell exercises that target your entire body. I recommend performing two to three sets of 20 repetitions three to five days a week. I also recommend supplementing the workout regime below with 30 to 60 minutes of cardiovascular training<\/a> per day for three to five days a week as well. Good luck!<\/p>\n
