Full Body Quarantine Workout

Hey guys and gals, I'm sure if you're like me and frequent the gym on a daily basis, or tried getting into a routine, then recent virus has made it a bit tough to keep up with your goals. I have been fortunate enough to have a full gym at work, but only able to use it 2x a week so I have created a short routine to help fill in the gaps. It will require a few items as it relies on bands, but it wont take up much space, or cost an arm and a leg.

Resistance bands-These are the ones I have

Door Anchor-One of these (the one i have came from Dick's, but this one will work)

Pull-Up Bar -This one is on sale at the moment

Single Arm Bicep Curls- 4 sets of 8 reps each arm

• While preforming, try and keep shoulders from rolling forward.
• Lock the elbow into you side when raising your arm, and rotate your wrists away from you.
• The big part for this is to really focus on the muscle contraction for each bicep

Elevated Bicep Curls- 4 sets of 8 reps each arm

• Set bands to shoulder height when arms are extended
• While contracting the muscle, try and rotate your pinky finger towards your bicep.

"Barbell" Curl- 4 sets of 12 reps

• Like the single arm curl, focus on contraction and the top.
• Slowly lower, but don't come to a complete rest and keep slight tension on the muscle at the bottom.
• Perform a final rep to failure.

For these exercises, you'll need to anchor the the bands to the door.

• When in the top position bring your hands together, and when bringing them down, separate them bring them to full extension next your hips.
