If you want to work on your strength training at home, it’s pretty straight forward. All you need is a set of dumbbells (can be bought online) and you can do some lifting in your living room – look for online tutorials for strength training routines for beginners that incorporates exercises like deadlifts, bicep curls and side lunges with dumbbells. Start off light and build your way up and if in doubt, seek the advice of a professional before you get started. Annabelle Breakenridge, head trainer at F45 Peckham Rye, added: “Lifting weights strengthens the density of our bones over time; making us less likely to suffer breaks or fractures as we age. It increases our muscle mass, which tends to decline naturally as we age and the benefits go far beyond just building more lean muscle, it allows us to protect our joints, maintaining better mobility, flexibility and balance in our everyday life.”
