The Ultimate Home Workout Plan
Build a brand new body by performing functional exercises with some classic kit – dumbbells
18 MAR 2020
The fitness industry can sometimes seem like a bewildering[1] blur of new ideas, with novel diets, workout classes and equipment cropping up constantly, surrounded by hype that claims they’re the best possible way to get fit. If that sort of thing leaves you cold, it should be reassuring to know that it can all be ignored in favour of a far more traditional route to fitness – a set of dumbbells and a few well-planned home workouts.
There’s a good chance you already have the dumbbells, sitting around somewhere gathering dust, but if you don’t then take a look at our selection of the best dumbbells to find a set that suits you. There are options for all comers, whether you’re after the cheapest set you can find – it’s just a weight with a handle, after all – or ready to splash out on some durable cast iron, shiny chrome, or some-kind-of-black-magic adjustable dumbbells that change the weight for you at the click of a button.
Once you’ve got your weights, you need the well-planned home workouts. You’ll find those right here. This four-week training plan consists of three workouts a week, with all the set, rep and rest counts detailed below. We’ve marked them as Monday, Wednesday and Friday sessions, so you can enjoy the weekend without needing to make time for a workout, but you can mix up those days to fit your schedule. Just make sure you have a day’s rest in between the workouts. If you invested in a set with multiple weights you can increase the weight involved as the weeks go on, which will keep you motivated as a tangible measure of your progress.
One last thing to say: this workout plan is best done by someone who is already fairly[2] experienced with weights, simply because some of the moves are unlikely to be familiar to newcomers and it’s important to get the technique right to avoid risking injury.
Conditional Sentences[3] are also known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses. They are used to express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is fulfilled. There are three types of Conditional Sentences.
Conditional Sentence Type 1
→ It is possible and also very likely that the condition will be fulfilled.
Form: if + Simple Present, will-Future
Example: If I find her address, I’ll send her an invitation.
Conditional Sentence Type 2
→ It is possible but very unlikely, that the condition will be fulfilled.
Form: if + Simple Past, Conditional I (= would + Infinitive)
Example: If I found her address, I would send her an invitation.
Conditional Sentence Type 3
→ It is impossible that the condition will be fulfilled because it refers to the past.
Form: if + Past Perfect, Conditional II (= would + have + Past Participle)
Example: If I had found her address, I would have sent her an invitation.
