Batgirl or Batwings?

300 Workout

Last week I posted a blog on how you can vary your training, even when you have no equipment and have less time to spend working out.
One great way of doing this is a reps challenge type workout, this one being based on performing 300 reps as quick as you can. This could be changed [...]

Vary it… but how?

A question I have got from time to time is how to get enough variety from working out from home when you have no equipment.

Machines vs the alternative

 
When you visit a gym, you’ll see a lot of equipment like the above being used.
