Strength Training - The “no weights” strength session

• Push ups – not all the way down, half way down but done fast – do 20
• Hands down crunches – lay on back, knees bent, feet flat on floor, hands by sides – crunch up lifting shoulders off floor – do 30
• Bridge – lie face down, support body with elbows (hands together, elbows apart) straighten body out like a plank on toes and elbows – hold for 30sec
• Chin ups – use a door frame or overhanging beam – cup hands facing you – grip beam and pull body up until chin is level with hands – do what you can – build to 20
• Trunk twists – lie on back with arms outstretched and palms down – lift legs up so soles of feet face the sky – gently lower legs to left then right – very gently keeping knees slightly bent – move slowly – do 30
• Lunges – stand tall feet together, arms raised above head, link thumbs and squeeze head between biceps with arms straight – step forward with alternate legs, so the leading knee forms a right angle, making sure you control wobble and knee stays directly above the foot below – do 10 each side – keeping arms straight and fingers pointing to the sky
• Chair dips – support the feet on one chair while the body weight is taken by the hands behind the hips on another chair – gently lower the body between the chairs until the elbows are at right angles – do 10
• Twisting crunches – lie on back, knees bent, feet on floor – crunch to face left knee then right knee, twisting the torsoe – do 30

This simple routine can be repeated 2-3 times adding numbers to each exercise as your strength builds. This routine is designed for a fit triathlete. If you have back existing problems or feel any pain when trying these exercises. Check with a physio therapist or doctor.
