Low Impact Total Body Strength Bodyweight & Bands Home Workout

May 7, 2024 · In: Fitness, Workouts

Home Workout Routine For Women

Check out this total body strength home workout routine for women.

Got no equipment? No Problem.

You can still get a highly effective workout with limited to no equipment, I know not everyone has a full set of dumbbells at home.

So I wanted to create a programme where you can get fitter, stronger and move better with just the use of your bodyweight and a couple of resistance bands. Whether you’re short on time, lacking access to gym equipment, or simply prefer the convenience of exercising in the comfort of your own space, this workout routine has got you covered.

In this session you will just need a loop resistance band. I have put some links below for where you can get those as they are relatively cheap and you can add so much variety to your workouts with these.

It’s perfect if you are just getting started with home workouts or new to fitness, or if you are taking a break from lifting heavier in the gym.

It’s also great to use this if you are feeling lower energy and just want a workout that will still get results but is moving at a little lower intensity. It’s also low impact so there is no jumping around if you want a workout that is a little more gentle on the joints.

Full body session 💥 This one’s all about sta Full body session 💥

This one’s all about stability, control and quality movement.

We’re mixing things up with slightly higher reps and a lighter load — a great way to build endurance, joint control and improve your mind–muscle connection. 💪

👉 Eccentric chin-ups for building pull-up strength
👉 Bosu squats for balance and ankle stability (perfect ski-season prep!)
👉 Hip thrusts for glute power and lower body endurance
👉 Marching side planks for core control and adductor strength (strong knees)

Remember — not every session needs to be heavy. Alternating rep ranges helps reduce plateaus, build strength through different phases and keep your body adapting.

Stronger. More stable. Ready for the slopes. 

Locals book your sessions for this block, or if you want to join DM me. Non locals save this workout for your next session. Let’s go 🙌

Workouts are way more than just building muscle or Workouts are way more than just building muscle or maintaining fitness. Fitness is for the mind just as much as the muscle. It becomes your you time, a moment when everything slows and you get to tune in with your own body. 

Use fitness as your moments of self care. When you look at it as self care you somehow want to do it more often.  #fitnesstips #fitnessmindset #fitnessover40

How I’m growing stronger daily in midlife — an How I’m growing stronger daily in midlife — and how you can too 

Strong isn’t just about lifting weights — it’s about building the daily habits that support your body and your mindset.

Here are 7 things I’m focusing on to feel stronger, healthier and more energised every day 👇

1️⃣ Set goals & intentions
I write down my goals every month and check in weekly. It keeps me focused, accountable, and moving forward — even when motivation dips.

2️⃣ Fuel your mind while you move
I listen to podcasts, affirmations or mindset activations on my walks. It’s such a simple way to strengthen both body and mind.

3️⃣ Strength train 3x per week
Three sessions is my sweet spot for building strength, keeping hormones balanced and feeling confident through midlife.

4️⃣ Progressive overload is key
You don’t need to crush yourself — just aim to improve. One more rep, a little more weight, better form. That’s how progress happens.

5️⃣ Optimise your protein
Protein is the foundation for muscle, recovery and hormone health. I aim for around 30g per meal to stay full, energised and strong.

6️⃣ Prioritise recovery & sleep
Rest isn’t lazy — it’s essential. Sleep, stretch, walk, unwind. Strength builds when you give your body time to recover.

7️⃣ Sign up for new challenges & events
Having something on the calendar — a race, fitness challenge or event — keeps me motivated, pushes me harder, and helps me grow in new ways.

Stronger isn’t just physical — it’s how you show up for yourself every single day.

Which do you need to give a little focus to?

Last week had sow moments of arghhhhhh!! When fee Last week had sow moments of arghhhhhh!!

When feelings of stress hit there is nothing like some girly chats in the sauna followed by cold dips to allow your stresses to feel a little less big and overwhelming

Moments of self care are a must. Take a moment for yourself this week in some way shape or form. 

I like to walk, read, meditate or do breath work as my too tools for stress relief. What works best for you???

For those that don’t know I used to own a pole f For those that don’t know I used to own a pole fitness and fitness studio in my previous life in Blackpool. 

But I haven’t touched a pole since I moved here 9 years ago!!!! Turns out it’s just like riding a bike and I can still (just about) get my chunky butt upside down

LOVED it, though I now remember the pain. Need to toughen up my skin again and I probably won’t be able to move my arms tomorrow 😂

Gonna dig out some old vids and combos and see what I can get back. This was lots of fun.
