Plate Weight Workout - Ep 56 - Made Fit TV

July 7th, 2009 | | Email This Post Email This Post |

They say a girl can never have too many diamonds, right?  Well, this girl can never have too many weights!  To me, there’s no such thing as “old” equipment; you can always find something to do with the most aged, random pieces of exercise equipment.

Unconventional training movements can be the best way to amp up your workout results or get you out of that dull plateau.  Sometimes all it takes a weight or two, a barbell, and your own body.

This week’s episode of Made Fit TV focuses on some simple - yet creative - movements using equipment you may already own!  So, dust off those old weights hiding under your brother’s bed, or stuffed in the basement, and check out this video for some killer movements!  Print off this list below for a guide.

Modified Barbell Core Twist

10 reps per side - 2 to 3 sets

Plate Front Shoulder Raise

10 to 12 reps - 3 sets

Plate Squat Press

15 reps - 3 sets

Plate Push

10 to 15 reps per leg - 2 to 3 sets each, per adductor and abductor

Weighted Push up

10 to 20 reps - 3 sets

    I love plates -- especially when they're packed with food ontop! :D

    Finally had a chance to check this video out,it's great! So refreshing to see some new moves (and old classics) that don't require much equipment at all. I really enjoyed this! Would love to see an episode that deals with road trips and travel, Since many people go away on vacation now,it would be a good time. For example,maybe a favorite beef jerky or something like that:)
  • thank you so much for the good excersizes!
    God bless you!
  • Thanks, Carlitos! Glad you like my workouts!

    Hi Jen. Glad to see you back in the gym. Thanks for the advice a few weeks ago about my shoulder pain after an injury in the gym. I iced it and lived on Tylenol for a few days and took 2 weeks off ...but I am back in the gym and have started back with light weights. Thanks again.
  • Ann, I'm so glad your shoulder is getting back to normal! It's how you bounce back from an injury that really matters, so keep baby-ing it for about a month until you can work your strength back up. Then, it will be stronger and more conditioned than before! Take it easy : )
