We’re all trying to adjust to life in lockdown, and sure bodyweight exercises are great to a point, but if you are like me you feel best when adding extra weight onto those exercises.
From a coaching point of view I don’t just want my clients to maintain their strength levels while at home, I want them getting stronger during lockdown.
So let me introduce you to my two little friends, the 20 litre Plastic Jerry Cans.
These two effectively give us the equivalent of a full set of dumbbells ranging from 1kg to 20kg’s each, depending on how much water you pour inside.

Let face it, no one really knows when this lockdown is going to be over and gyms are more than likely to be the last to reopen.

Hi Gary ,
I’m walking on treadmill each morning. I do the interval traiNing programme on it.
My shoulder is still very uncomfortable.
I have 4 Jerry cans full of diesel. Too heavy for me at the moment.
Anyway keep well and safe.
Tks for not giving up on me.
Cheers,
Kevin.
