Even if you really, really, can&#8217;t be arsed; you can probably bang out 1 set of press ups a few times per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For advanced trainers, it appears that multiple sets are superior to single sets, but you can still gain strength from single set protocols. More information can be found in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/45152393_Outcome_Effects_of_Single-Set_Versus_Multiple-Set_Training-An_Advanced_Replication_Study\">this study paper<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I personally leave resistance bands around the house (check me out). I do random sets of band and bodyweight exercises whenever I get a minute. I feel like I don&#8217;t need an extensive warm up before using resistance bands, as opposed to heavy weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve been resistance training for 30 years. I&#8217;ve personally found short workouts. Using 1 normal set, 1 eccentric set and 1 plyometric exercise per body part has kept my muscle mass at its natural limit. I think, hard to tell, maybe I&#8217;d be Mr Olympia if I addded a few more sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1000016097.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"719\" data-attachment-id=\"15647\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/en\/2025\/01\/15\/wii-boxing-for-fitness-2025-unusual-but-highly-fun-practical-home-fitness-ideas\/attachment\/1000016097\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1000016097.jpg?fit=1080%2C719&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,719\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1000016097\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1000016097.jpg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1000016097.jpg?resize=1080%2C719&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15647\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Accumulated 1 Set Training &#8211; Resistance Bands &amp; Bodyweight Exercises<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In theory, doing 1 set of exercise every now and then throughout the day, might be superior to doing sets all together, in terms of strength gains, but not muscle mass &#8211; due to metabolic stress being lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you can&#8217;t get an hour or two to workout, or you are scared of the dark and cold in the winter, just bang out some sets in between episodes of Ricky &amp; Morty, or whatever it is normal people watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tabata Intervals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you can spare 4 minutes a day, you have enough time to improve cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">you can use bodyweight squats- do as many as you can for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds, repeat 8 times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ankle &amp; Wrist Weights &#8211; Doing Daily Tasks &amp; Playing with the Kids<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1kg wrist weights is enough in my experience. And or a weighted vest of around 5kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember a little is exponetially better than no exercise! Doing 12 minutes of exercise for example, utilising tabata intervals, has been shown to improve markers of health and fitness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst 12 minutes won&#8217;t burn lots of calories, you&#8217;ll be healthier, feel better and you can easily progress and cope with other forms of exercise once you&#8217;re able to do a full Tabata intervals (which lasts 4 minutes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/screenshot_20231220_220436_chrome.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1074\" height=\"1906\" data-attachment-id=\"14430\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/en\/2023\/12\/18\/biohacking-on-a-budget-2024\/screenshot_20231220_220436_chrome\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/screenshot_20231220_220436_chrome.jpg?fit=1074%2C1906&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1074,1906\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"screenshot_20231220_220436_chrome\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/screenshot_20231220_220436_chrome.jpg?fit=577%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/screenshot_20231220_220436_chrome.jpg?resize=1074%2C1906&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14430\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bath Workouts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3 x sets of kneeling press ups<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">plus every seated yoga pose that doesn&#8217;t involve sticking your head under the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The kneeling press ups are actually pretty tough, aim for 3 sets of 12.
