Loosen up with some Twists





Here are some great upper body exercises that you can do using items available to you at home. Examples of such items include: 1, 2 and 3 liter soda bottles, detergent bottles and other 1-gallon bottles of juice, lemonade and iced tea. Larger bottles are available as well. You can use these bottles with the original contents or fill them with water after using the contents.  


Another thing you might consider is filling empty bottles with sand for added weight. Sand is approximately 1.5 times the density of water. A gallon jug of water weighs a bit more than 8 pounds, whereas the same gallon jug filled with sand will weigh around 13 lbs.

 
For barbell type exercises, consider using the handle of a sturdy mop or broom.


Take your time, enjoy the TV show you are watching and the exercises you are doing.




Upper Back Exercise


Lower Back Exercise








Deadlifts (whether barbell or dumbbell) are a good exercise for both leg and lower back muscles.
  
Two 9-Liter Plastic jugs can be used like a barbell. A liter of water, weighs 1 kilogram (kg) or 2.2 lbs. A 9-liter jug filled with water weighs about 20 lbs. Using two of these jugs would be comparable to lifting a 40 lb. barbell.
