TRANSCRIPT:
Hey, there beautiful human. You're listening to Embrace Your Real with me, Julie Ledbetter, a podcast where I empower you to just be you. With each episode, I dish you a dose of real talk and actionable advice for building your confidence, honoring your body, and unconditionally loving your authentic self. Stay tuned if you're ready to embrace your real. Let's get it, let's go.
Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Embrace Your Real Podcast. I don't know about you, but I went to the gym for years. That's honestly where I got my kind of start in the fitness world. But about four years ago, I just found myself making excuses. I found myself very limited in the sense of only thinking that a workout, a good workout, or a workout in general would happen inside gym walls. I was very restricted in thinking that only the best workouts would happen at the gym and I could never do a home workout.
In 2019, I actually kind of hit my breaking point and I quit my gym membership. I remember the last day walking into my Lifetime Fitness at the time and just thinking to myself, "Either this is going to be the best decision of my life, or this is going to be the worst decision in my life." I mean, I'll learn very quickly which one it is. And here I am in 2022 and I am still working out from home. It's kind of crazy because I actually started working out from home full-time in 2019.
Right before the pandemic hit, I had kind of a year to a year and a few months under my belt of working out from home. And then when kind of the whole world shut down and everybody's gym shut down, it was an amazing opportunity to just share with women that I have, in fact, been successful working out from home with a few pair of dumbbells, a small space, and a plan to follow.
If you are kind of in that same spot, maybe you have loved the gym for years and years, but you're just finding yourself making excuses and not going as consistently, or maybe you hate going to the gym, maybe you have gym intimidation, and you're spending a bunch of money every single month on this gym membership that you're just not using, I am here to tell you that you absolutely can see results. You absolutely can still build strength, and you can reach your body goals at home.
In today's episode of Embrace Your Real, that's exactly what I'm going to be diving into. But before I dive in, I wanted to share this review. It comes from Goey, pronounced Go-E. Okay, it's from Goey and they gave a five star review and said, "Amazing. Julie, I've been following the Macros Inc. on Facebook and someone posted your name in response to encouraging a gal on her post. Well, I looked you up and all I can say is thank you so much for doing this. I binged on your podcast the last three days and finally finished a bit ago.
Wow! What an inspiration you are and your knowledge and how you communicate is a blessing to all who listen. I'm sure you have a bazillion young followers, but I'm a 60 year old who can't get enough of you. This has been just what I need to keep preserving my fitness journey. God bless you. Keep it up. Love, Mari. My grandsons call me Goey, and so that's where that came from." First of all, I love this so much. I feel like if I met you in person, you would feel like my mom. I mean, you sound just like her.
I'm just so grateful that this podcast is helping you. This podcast, honestly, although we do primarily reach women in their twenties and thirties, forties and fifties, I love hearing this from every single person. This podcast truly is for all ages of women who are just wanting to learn more about health and fitness and also learn more about mindset. I talk about real life things. That's why it's called Embrace Your Real.
If you have a girlfriend, a friend, or a sister, or someone in your life that you feel like would really benefit from this podcast, I just ask that you share it out with them. You can copy the link and send it to them in a text message. You can also just say, "Hey, check out Embrace Your Real wherever you tune in to podcasts," and they can go from there. But I really do appreciate you guys so much sharing the podcast. It really does help us out.
Okay, so let's dive into teaching you kind of the ins and outs of the essentials that you need to crushing your workouts from home. Essential number one, dumbbells. The dumbbells you purchase and the amount of dumbbells you purchase will honestly be determined by your budget. But the great thing about dumbbells is that they last forever. If you invest in some, they truly aren't going anywhere. I mean, they don't rust.
You have to remember that this is an investment, not only in your home gym setup, but also in your body and in your physical health and wellness journey. And that's something that truly, I believe, is one of the best investments you can make. If you are new to resistance training, people always ask me like, "Okay, I am new or maybe I'm just starting to work out from home from the gym. How and where do I get started? What should I get started with?" I always suggest starting with one pair of light dumbbells.
That's going to vary based on your experience level, but that could either be fives, eights, or tens. And then I always recommend you getting at least one to two pairs of medium to heavy. Medium, again, it's going to vary on your fitness level and experience, but it could be 12 pounds, 15 pounds, 20, 25, or 30s. I would say the majority of women that work out inside my Movement With Julie app, which is a dumbbell only workout program, they typically have a pair of like fives or eights or tens, and then they have like a medium pair.
The dumbbells that I see people using the most are like 8s, 10s, 15s, and sometimes 20s. I know that that was kind of a lot, but I just, again, recommend you starting with one pair of light, so whatever you define as light, and then one pair of medium heavy. That's a great place to start. I know, again, it just totally depends on your budget. It's going to depend on what you have available around you. I know that going into the pandemic, especially in kind of the height of the pandemic, there was a huge home workout equipment shortage.
I remember like dumbbells being so much money because there was no dumbbells available anywhere, but I feel like the supply chain has kind of caught up. Dumbbells are at a pretty reasonable price. I always recommend if you are on a budget and you're wanting to get a dumbbell collection, a couple pairs of dumbbells, always start at your Facebook Marketplace. That's a great place to start. I have found some amazing deals on Facebook Marketplace, but also DICK'S Sporting Goods, Walmart, Target, and of course, Amazon.
There are always tons of dumbbells available there in all different types of sets. You can either get them a pair at a time, or you can get them in a pair of 150 pounds. You get as, 10s, 15s, and 20s, 25s. That's kind of a great option. On my Amazon Storefront, which I will go ahead and make sure to link in the show notes below, I actually have a dumbbell set that I have found on Amazon that's a very reasonable price. And the cool thing about it is it comes in a rack that's kind of like triangular.
If you're limited on space, which a lot of women that I work with, they're working out in a spare bedroom, they're working out in their garage or their basement, and you just don't have a lot of space, this is a phenomenal rack because it literally just goes against the wall. And that way you have your dumbbells, but it's not taking up like the whole part of the room. I also have seen women just honestly store their dumbbells under their bed, under their couch or beside their couch next to a wall if they're working out in their living room.
Really people have gotten so creative and it's honestly so encouraging to me every single day to see where these women are doing these workouts, because it just goes to show that you don't need a lot of equipment and you definitely don't need a lot of space to get a great workout in. With that being said, though, if you are limited in terms of getting a whole bunch of dumbbells, I always recommend resistance bands.
Resistance bands are a great option because they will just increase your availability to do more movements. Those take up virtually no space. They're also phenomenal for when you are traveling, when you're on the go. The resistance bands that I have, again, I will link my Amazon Storefront, they are on there. They're great because resistance spans that have kind of accessories to go with them, so like the handle itself is not glued on them.
The handle actually can come off of it, which is great because it also has an ankle strap attachment, meaning that you can do tons more movements and you can truly mimic the movements of cable exercises, as well as just have a bigger variety of variation of weights that you can lift. For example, if you have two 15 pound dumbbells and you're doing a dumbbell press, so let's just say you're on the floor, you're doing a dumbbell chest press and you have a 15 dumbbell in each hand, then let's say you have a 30 pound resistance ban and you kind of put that under you...
I know this is kind of hard to explain on a podcast. It'd be way easier in a video, and I might do a video of this just showing you. You have a resistance band underneath you and you're holding on the resistance band, as well as the dumbbells. Let's say the resistance band is 30 pounds. You have two 15 pound dumbbells, that's 30 total, and then you have the 30 pound resistance band. If you are doing chest press, that's essentially 60 pounds.
Now, I know that the majority of women, myself included, 60 pounds on a dumbbell chest press is very heavy, but that just kind of is a great example of how you can add more resistance without having two 30 pound dumbbells in your hands, right? Things like squats or things like upright rows or something that you might want a little bit more weight, but you don't have the availability to get more dumbbells, resistance bands are a phenomenal way for you to add more variety, as well as add more weight without having the additional dumbbells.
And also inside my Movement With Julie app, I always give you alternative. Sometimes I will program a cable or band movement, but there's always a body weight or a dumbbell movement in place of that if you don't have those availability, or maybe you do want to have and use that cable movement or the banded movement. Sometimes I'll program a dumbbell movement, but I will also program a cable movement. It really is. There is so much variety here.
Another thing that I mentioned earlier is that the resistance bands itself, not only do they add variety in terms of your dumbbells and the amount of weight that you have, but when you have resistance bands, they really do mimic the cable and banded movements that you know and love from the gym. Cable kickbacks, you have tri-set pulldowns, you have lap pulldowns. There are tons of back exercises especially that you can do with resistance bands. Having those is phenomenal.
The pack that I have on my Amazon Storefront is like $21. It's such a great investment. I've had these for the past three and a half years, and they're great quality. I've never had issues with them. And like I said, really making sure that you get resistance bands that have the accessories along with them, so that you can not only use them for things like cable kickbacks, but you can also add multiple different resistance bands together to increase the resistance.
Because if you just have the resistance bands that have like the handles glued to them, which are probably... When you hear the term resistance bands, you're probably thinking of like the old school resistance bands that just have the handles. One handle, it's one band. But if you have bands that you can add multiple to a handle, you can actually increase your weight. Again, it's really all about variety and finding things that will allow you to do more without having as much equipment.
Essential number two, an exercise bench or chair. There are workout specific benches. One in particular that I recommend to so many women on a weekly basis from Amazon, again, it's on my Amazon Storefront, is an adjustable bench. I am a huge believer, if you are going to invest in a bench, having an adjustable bench is just going to allow you a lot more variety in terms of the movements that you can do.
Instead of just getting a flat bench, you actually can put this bench at a 45 degree angle to perform like incline presses, or you can do at a 90 degree angle so it's just kind of like a chair and you can perform seated exercise like shoulder press, seated bicep curls. It's just extremely versatile, and you get a lot more movements with the bench because you can also, of course, always put it flat and you can use it, things like step ups and things that you're laying down like a flat bench chest press and things like that, but you're able to have the variety.
And that's what I always go back to when it comes to just telling women what they should get to successfully work out from home. It's all about variety. It's all about making sure that the equipment that you get can be utilized to its maximum potential. Because I've seen people spend $90 on a flat bench and you just won't be able to have the variety of all the incline movements, which will hit, like for example, your biceps or your triceps at a different angle.
If you're going to spend the money, I always just recommend might as well get something that will give you kind of a bigger bang for your buck. This bench on Amazon, I think the last time I looked at it was like $130, which honestly, again, a bench is something that you're going to have for a long time. It's an investment. And as always, I always look at all of these things as an investment in our physical health. That's something that truly is one of the best investments you can make.
For benches, I also use them for things like hip thrust. This is kind of the exercise, if you're not familiar, where you're sitting on the floor with your back resting against the bench and you have your dumbbell laying in your lap and your knees are bent. You kind of press up and you kind of lift your knees to 90 degrees with your body parallel to the floor. This is a great glute workout. Or sometimes I will even do glute bridges with elevated feet. I will go into a glute bridge position, but I will elevate my heels on the bench.
And that just increases the intensity of the glute bridge. Also, it gives you a larger range of motion. Another movement that I use for benches, Bulgarian split squats. These are all exercises that I program on a weekly and monthly basis inside the Movement With Julie app. All in all, having a bench can be super beneficial. But if you are just starting out with bare bones, a pair or two of dumbbells and a small space, you can absolutely do so many workouts without a bench.
But if you want to get the most out of your home workouts, I would recommend having a bench just because it allows you to really get creative with your workouts. If a bench is not in your budget, but you're still wanting to utilize kind of some of those movements that I just shared, you can always use like an exercise ball to lay down or sit. To perform most of the upper body exercises, you just kind of have to keep your butt elevated and the incline with your hips when performing any exercises, which is great.
It can give you honestly an extra challenge. Plus, it gives you the extra challenge of keeping yourself stable during the movement. You just might not be able to push yourself in terms of the weight, because you are really engaging your core. That stability is something that you're going to need to put at the forefront of your mind. To kind of mimic the incline bench, you can always sit on the floor with your knees bent and kind of have like a soccer ball or medicine ball, volleyball or a stack of towels, or even pillows resting kind of on your thoracic spine, AKA the middle of your back.
This will give you kind of roughly a 45 degree angle to perform exercises like incline presses, incline bicep curls, incline chest press, and things like that. As for lower body, you can use anything, first of all, that's 100% stable that can bear your weight entirely and making sure that it's not going to move. A chair can be perfect, but you just want to make sure that that chair is going to be super stable. I've also seen people use things like their stairs or a couch for step ups or even a coffee table.
Be very careful because some of the coffee tables that I have seen, they just not be safe. Just be mindful of that. There are so many things around the house that you can use. It's just getting a little bit creative. One thing I've even seen too, and this won't work for all incline movements, but if you kind of just lay against some stairs, you could do like an incline chest press. Just getting creative there and just remembering that the sky is truly the limit when it comes to home workouts.
It just takes a little bit of creativity. Essential number three is having space. Now, this one is 100% free. Well, not really. I mean, you're paying your mortgage or your rent or whatever. But when you're working out from home, all you truly need is small space. When I say small, I mean I have seen women... I'm thinking of one in particular. Shout out, Amber, if you are listening to this. She has been doing my workout since 2019. She is a mom of two.
She has a few pair of dumbbells. I think she actually got a lot more variations of dumbbells over the years, which has been really cool to see kind of her progress in the equipment that she's getting as she stays more consistent and things like that. But she literally, you guys, works out and does every single workout week in and week out in her bedroom. The spare amount of space that she has in her bedroom, that's where she gets her workouts done. Like I mentioned before, I've seen people use their basements.
That's what I use personally. I've seen people use spare bedrooms, garages. I even have a girl... Shout out, Marisa, if you're listening to this. She literally, you guys, works out in her kitchen. Before she had a bench, she actually was using her kitchen table as a bench. And that was sturdy enough. Of course, be smart with that. But really there is no excuse because you do not need a ton of space in order to get these workouts in.
Especially the workouts that I program inside Movement With Julie, you are not like bouncing around. It's a strength training based program, and so you're not going to be like running around. They're not HIIT workouts all the time. You have one cardio and core day and the core section can be done all on the floor typically or standing if it's a standing core day. And then in terms of the cardio, you really just need like a small square to do these movements.
Again, do not let space discourage you because the sky's the limit again, and you can truly do so many of these workouts with such minimal space. It's amazing. I've also seen people get benches that fold away and they put them underneath the bed. If you're doing like a spare bedroom, you're putting your dumbbells under the bed when you're finished. You're folding up your bench. You're putting it under the bed. There are so many amazing pieces of equipment now that save space.
Definitely be on the lookout for that. Essential number four, a plan to follow. This is so important, you guys. Because you can have the dumbbells, you can have the bench, you can have the space, you can have all the things honestly, but if you don't have a plan to follow, it is going to be nearly impossible for you to see results. I always say this because I've seen women who have said, "I'm quitting the gym, and I'm starting to work out at home."
And then they randomly just go through Pinterest workouts or TikTok workouts or Instagram workouts. The thing with this, when you don't have a plan to follow, you are more likely to click on the workouts that look pretty, that look sexy, or the muscle parts that are maybe easy for you, so not challenging, and so you are only working the muscle groups that you want to work. You're not actually allowing yourself, to challenge yourself to work the muscle groups that you hate, or do things like cardio or core.
I know so many women inside my group, they're really trying to switch their mindset. Because prior, they would always just skip the cardio and core day. But as we continue to progress and as we continue to stay committed to our goals, they are saying, "I am prioritizing cardio and core, because that's always the day that I normally skip," but they wouldn't have done that if they didn't have a plan to hold themselves accountable. Number one reason why having a plan is important is because it's going to be effective.
You're actually following an effective program that has proven to give you results versus just random workouts. I've said this before and I'll say it again, that random workouts lead to random results. If you're just randomly working your muscles when you feel like it, you are going to have random results and likely not going to see the results that you want. And number two, when you are not following a plan, you are not likely to stay consistent.
Because when times get hard or when time is limited, you don't have a plan holding you accountable. The reason why I love the Movement With Julie app is because honestly, you open up your phone and the plan is there for you. And if you're low on time, there's no excuse. You have two options. You have a 30 minute variation, which takes 28 to 32 minutes to complete, or you have a full workout, which is 45 to 55 minutes to complete. So really there is no excuse for you.
You are held accountable to that plan because it's already done for you. You literally just have to open up your phone and follow it. And then also, if you are in the Facebook community group, you have thousands of women alongside of you who are doing the workouts as well. You're seeing their sweaty selfies. You're seeing them say, "Dang! This workout was so hard, but I feel so good afterwards." It's all of those things in culmination that's going to make sure and going to provide you with the accountability and the support that you need.
Honestly, you guys, I'm telling you, if you are wanting to work out from home, the biggest mistake that I see people make is that they just don't have a plan. They just randomly follow things, and that can be fun for some time. And that can be fun for a little bit. But after a while, you are likely not going to stay consistent and you're definitely not going to see results. You're definitely not going to see results.

I have a whole highlight bubble series with FAQs, reviews, equipment, with links, and all of those things. Go to Movement With Julie on Instagram as well. Lastly, I also wanted to share one more bonus equipment to consider. They're not 100% needed, but they can be very, very helpful. Honestly, they can even be like $10 or less. I do have a few other things that would just be super helpful. Again, these are not required, but these are things that I've just learned over the years of working out from home.
I thought I would just kind of put together a list for you. Number one would be a mat. Now, you can honestly get a mat for like $10. You can get them at pretty much any store or even on Amazon, but they're just really helpful, especially for traveling. They can also be great for you if you have sensitive knees or elbows or things like that for certain movements. They are phenomenal if you don't have like a gym floor.
If you're working out on concrete, so especially in those unfinished basements or in the garage, having a mat can be super helpful and can just provide a little bit more cushion for your feet. Also, if you are working out on carpet and you don't want to get sweat all over your carpet, they can be great as well. A mat is going to be great. Another piece of equipment that I have personally loved and we loved it so much that we actually created our own is the booty pump band.
This is the fabric band. It's not one of those rubber bands that rolls and pinches. They're actually a fabric band. And on the inside of them, they have rubber grips that are not going to pinch your skin, but that actually are there in order to keep the band in place so that it's not going to be slipping or sliding. These bands are called the booty pump bands. We actually have them available. I will go ahead and link that in the show notes below. You can go to our website, ledbetter.co, that's just Ledbetter, L-E-D-B-E-T-T-E-R, dot C-O.
We have the booty pump fans available for you there. They're great because they just add some resistance for lower body days. They also are phenomenal. I've posted this on my both Movement With Julie TikTok and Instagram. But if you are struggling with pushups, having these and kind of putting them above your elbows, they are great for helping you... They're almost like training wheels for you as you learn the movement of a pushup.
But I have found that they have helped me tremendously in just my pushup strain, but there are so many exercises that you can do with these, and they're honestly great for traveling too. As we head into the warmer months, if you have the resistance bands that I recommended earlier in this episode, as well as the booty pump bands, you are golden. You are good to go.
If you are actually inside the Movement With Julie app, I have a special program coming that will be free to you for all active subscribers in there for those of you who are going to be traveling and just don't have access to dumbbells. Because you can absolutely still get your workout in, still get a killer workout in with pair resistance bands and some booty pump bands. Be on the lookout for that, but that is another piece of equipment that, again, not 100% necessary, but definitely helpful.
I always recommend having a mirror if possible. This is not something that you have to have, but it is super helpful especially if you're new to lifting or if you're really wanting to look at your form and make sure that your form is proper. I have found having a mirror when I work out is super helpful, just because I'm able to look at myself in the mirror as I'm performing the movement. It just allows you to make sure that you are not getting injured and that you're really activating your muscles.
Having a mirror can be super helpful, a full length mirror if possible. I know I just saw them at Target. I saw like a $20 mirror. It's like the college line. I think it's called Home Essentials from Target. It's great, super cheap. That is an option for you. I'm sure Walmart, Amazon, all the stores. Having a full length mirror can be super helpful. And then let's see, what else? Other things, sliders, I actually don't utilize these inside my app, but they're phenomenal.
If you have like a wood floor and you're really wanting to do ab exercises, those are great. If you don't have access to sliders, you can also use two pieces of paper towels. Those work just as well. You can kind of use them for glute bridges, slider lunges, a bunch of ab exercises, and that can really help increase the intensity of your workouts. And then lastly, having a jump rope. I only have a few times... I would say every few months, I program in air skips, which does not require you to have a jump rope.
However, if you do have a jump rope, that can be an incredible piece of cardio. If you just don't have the finances or the space to invest in like a treadmill or a cycle bike or things like that, there are endless amounts of cardio workouts that you can do with a jump rope. That is fairly inexpensive, as well as a space saver. There you have it. I really, really hope that this helped you.
Again, kind of going back to what is essential, because I just talked about a lot of equipment, all you truly need is one to two pairs of dumbbells, a small space, and a plan. Those are the three things that I would recommend you have before starting your home works. Those are honestly the three biggest things that are going to make a difference in you rushing your home workouts. I hope this was helpful for you. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I am super passionate about this simply because...
The reason why I created the Movement With Julie app, I am super passionate about this and honestly, it's why I created the Movement With Julie app because I found myself, like I mentioned, when I was walking out of that Lifetime Fitness for the last time, I told myself, "This is either going to be a really good idea or a horrible idea." And if it was a really good idea, I committed to myself that I would make sure that I would help serve women and show them how they can create a killer home workout program while still getting results.
And that's exactly what the Movement With Julie app does. I wanted to create that, because not only did I want to have a plan to follow because I know how important and essential a plan to follow is, but I wanted to selfishly do it alongside of thousands of other women as well. Because I know for me, if you're working out from home, it can feel lonely, but it isn't lonely, especially when you're doing the same workouts alongside of other women. That's why I created this workout app.
I hope that if this interests you at all, you would definitely check it out. We would love, love, love to work out alongside of you. The workouts are for all fitness levels, and that's because you can either scale up or scale down the workout depending on your fitness level and kind of where you are at in your season of life. We have women who are postpartum. We have women who are pregnant. You can definitely do a bunch of the movements modified.
And then we have women who are just living their life and they have health and fitness goals of getting stronger and leaner and faster and just feeling more confident in their body. It truly is for everybody. There is video demonstrations for every single movement. That way, you are never questioning what the movement looks like and what the form should look like.
And then I always do alternate exercises for things like jumping and lunges and things like that to make sure that you are able to do a low impact movement or a body weight movement if the weighted version or the jumping version is not in the cards for you. Again, you can go to sale.movementwithjulie.com. That's sale.movementwithjulie.com. You there will have the option to join monthly or annual. If you join the monthly, you get 50% off your first month.
It is canceled anytime. If you want to go for the annual, I've had some women over this last month, say, "Heck to it. I am just going to sign up for a year and see where I go from here." And if you do that, you actually get it at a discounted price. It's about $16 a month. If you go annual there, that's just a one-time payment. I will go ahead and link all of those things along with the Amazon Storefront and my Instagram for Movement With Julie if you're wanting to kind of look at the workouts.
