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.

How to adapt difficulty to fit your current level;


- Add/Subtract sets and reps.
- Add extra weight to exercises.
- Manipulate rest periods.
- Tempo of your reps. (Slower reps = increased difficulty)
- Range of Motion. (Don't cut your reps short)

Saftey!
- Be safe at all times.
- Don't do stupid SH*T
