Resistance Ideas;
- Obvously dumbbells, resistance bands and ankle weights are the most ideal.
- Bottles filled with water.
- Bags/Suitcases filled will heavy objects.
- If you have a training partner, get them to apply pressure whilst you perform the movements.
Saftey!
- Be safe at all times.
- Don't do stupid SH*T
