How to build body strength at home, with minimal equipment

Certified personal trainer Amanda Capritto says it is possible to build full-body strength at home with minimal equipment. Ms Capritto, a full-time traveller, maintained and even improved her strength using resistance bands, a single dumbbell, and a kettlebell while living full-time in a van. Her workout includes single-arm bent-over rows, single-leg Romanian deadlifts, kettlebell swings, close-grip press-ups, alternating reverse lunges, and suitcase carries. Ms Capritto emphasises progressive overload, achieved by manipulating sets, reps, rest, time under tension, unilateral exercises, power focus, and range of motion. Beginners can make significant progress with minimal equipment as their bodies adapt to the new stimulus of resistance training, she says.
