Keep It Simple
Intro
As mentioned before in our blog, fitness does not have to be complicated and is just effective with a single piece of equipment. Today we will only need a single plate and get a full body workout.
What?
This week's workout is another look at keeping it simple. All you need this week is a single plate and to scale the workout you just have to use a heavier or lighter plate. It is advised you use a bumper plate for this.

Why?
Simple workouts are quick to set up and can be done anywhere by almost anyone. This is ideal to fit in with the general busy life of people currently, with less time available for many people, it is great to have the ability to splice a quick and simple workout together and fit it in to a busy lifestyle.
Let us break down the programming of this workout and what the intentions are. This style workout is designed to be quick and easy to set up, and easily accessible and scaleable.
As it only requires a weight plate the equipment is very accessible in most home gyms and almost every commercial gym and to scale you just change the plate you use. When choosing your weight, you can look to go lighter and faster or heavier and work more on the strength aspect.
The design of this workout is to be a general full body workout without over targeting a single area. It will likely become gassy if you have chosen a lower weight or if you have gone heavier you may feel more muscular fatigue so you should plan around this while trying to move through smoothly and aimt to go unbroken.
Good luck and let us know how you get on!
