10 Conditioning Workouts With Minimal Equipment

If you're...


- In a rush
- the gym is busy
- You don't have access to much equipment
- You fancy a challenge


Then these workouts are for you. Each of them requires only a few pieces of equipment and has been designed to allow one body part to rest and recover while the other works; meaning they can be carried out (fitness provided) in an almost continuous fashion with minimal rest.


It follows one of my training ethos: "TTYE" - Train To Your Environment.


Ideal too if you're in a rush or don't want to spend hours on end in the gym.


Try them, Let me know what you think. Scale them down (or up if you're a champ) and let me know how you get on. Any questions, just shout me on twitter: @MichaelD_PT
