There are days when the gym is the perfect respite from a long day at work. You can get in, sweat, get out, and feel completely renewed. Then there are days when the gym is one giant irritation. There are two many people clanking weights, or chatting when they should be clanking weights, and all you want to do is walk back through the door and head home. Well, guess what? You can do that—and still get a killer workout in.

The At-Home Muscle Plan >>>

Are you so short on time that commuting 20 plus minutes to the gym keeps you from getting your workouts in? Or maybe you’ve got a different reason where you want to train at home. Either way, its why this program has a three-day training split, requiring only the bare necessities: a set of dumbbells and a bench.

The first two weeks of the routine will have you focusing on strength, maintaining your reps in the 6-8 range. Youll then slowly increase your rep range to 12 by week five and six to trigger hypertrophy. Within each workout, youll want to keep your rest periods between 90 seconds and two minutes during weeks one and two. As for the remaining weeks, rest periods will drop down to one minute.

A few of the exercises in this routine are great substitutes for the ones rarely seen outside the gym. No lat pulldown at home? No problem, straight-arm lat pulls will do the job. And if you don’t have a seated calf raise machine lying around the living room, we’ve got you covered with the dumbbell version.

You dont need a gym membership to melt that unwanted flab and look fit. In fact, you dont even need equipment. Use this super-simple body-weight workout from The Womens Health Big Book of Exercises to burn fat, tone every muscle and improve your fitness.

How do it: Perform this workout as a circuit, completing the prescribed number of repetitions of each exercise without resting. Once youve done one set of each exercise, rest for two minutes, then repeat the entire circuit one to two more times.
