What Makes The Best Home Gym Workouts?

Most exercises that we do in the gym, with barbells or on machines can be replicated in some way or another with a set of dumbbells or kettlebells.

And by replicate, I mean work the intended target muscles. So the exercise doesn’t necessarily look the same, but it targets the same muscle groups.

Home gym workouts are very effective when you know what you’re doing - you just need to get creative.

It starts with knowing which exercises target which muscle groups. The more exercises you are familiar with, the more options you allow yourself to keep your at home workouts challenging and effective.

The best home gym workouts involve some level of equipment. Don’t mistake “home gym workouts” for “no equipment workouts” - you need something, ideally dumbbells or a barbell or some kettlebells and a bench as an absolute minimum.

Why Do Home Gyms Need Equipment?

By definition, weightlifting as a sport requires you to have some weight to lift.

There’s a lot to be said for bodyweight exercises, but they will only take you so far.

Even if you want to explore calisthenics, you will still need access to some equipment in order to progress. These will be parallel bars, parallettes, a pull up bar, bands, a flag pole and whatever else you want to demonstrate your impressive physical strength on.

My point is, equipment matters, and if you want to take your strength training game seriously, you need to get some key pieces of equipment.

Lipstick Lifters Home Gym Workouts are here to get you started with the bare minimum. Because we want you to see results from lifting before you start heavily investing in the other stuff.

Beginner Home Gym Workouts With Dumbbells or Kettlebells

Dumbbells and kettlebells are excellent pieces of gym equipment that can provide you with a complete full body workout rotation.

While there are a number of ways you can split your workouts, these beginner workouts use a very simple upper/lower body split.

Not just one, but two sets of plans to see you through your first 6 weeks and then progress to the next plan to see you through weeks 6-12.

That’s 3 whole months of home gym workouts.

Why You Must Change Your Workouts Every 6-8 Weeks

To avoid a plateau.

If you keep working the same old exercises with the same or similar weights, you will hit a plateau.

This is where people get frustrated and give up because they’re not seeing results.

It’s like, the thing that worked before, doesn’t work anymore.

Yes, because you levelled up, and now you need to level up your workout to match.

I cannot stress enough how important this is.

If you’re thinking you just need one “ultimate workout or exercise” to see you through the rest of your life, you’re going to be left very disappointed.
