The Ultimate Home Workout
The 'Capital Strength Approved' Ultimate Home Workout is your simple yet powerful plan that keeps you on track, burns massive calories, AND you can do it anywhere! It's the only home workout template you need to retain your gains and continue making progress.
The #1 cause of poor results is inconsistency. When you fall off your training, your gains are quickly diminished. And if you find yourself forced to stay out of the gym—This can be a major disruption to your program, progress, and stunt your momentum.
The good news? It doesn't take much to retain your gains. As long as you're challenging your muscles and cardiovascular system, you'll stay on track. (Of course keeping your nutrition tight will help too!)
Here's your solution... A workout that you can do anywhere with whatever equipment you have (even with just your body weight!) With this dynamic, flexible workout template you've got the perfect way to stimulate your whole body for a great workout.

Introduction
The Capital Ultimate Home Workout is designed to improve your general strength & conditioning level. When done consistently and properly, you will see improvement in muscle mass, strength, endurance, mobility, and overall health and performance.
This workout template is infinitely scale-able. This means it can be quickly and easily adjusted to accommodate experience level, equipment, and progression. You just need to make small adjustments to orient towards your goal.
All you need is your body weight! You can do this workout with zero specialized equipment by running outside and using body-weight.
Have workout equipment? If you have a treadmill, barbell, dumbbell, kettlebells, suspension trainer, or other item you can use for resistance... Even better! This adds even more effectiveness and progression opportunity.
The goal? Make progress every workout! There are a variety of ways to ensure progression. And you can make progress from workout to workout and/or week to week as long as you work hard.
Instructions

Depending on your fitness level and chosen intensity, The Capital Ultimate Home Workout will take you 30-60 minutes.
You can choose to rotate movements each workout. I suggest having 2-4 workouts (with different movements) that you can rotate thru and make progression with. However, you can keeps this very basic, with the same movements each workout and get excellent results.
How To Progress
They key to results is consistent progression over time. No matter how small or incremental, results will come if you build upon each workout. And that's exactly how we will approach progression.
Your goal will be to add reps, weight, or reduce time to completion with this program. You get to pick what to focus on. Ensuring progress will require you to track each workout. Go ahead and print out the template. Fill it in as you go.
If you like novelty and want to rotate different movement variations in, be sure to list the specific weights and reps used for each movement. This will give you data to compare and track over time.
Equipment
You don't need any special equipment to perform this workout. It can all be performed with your body weight. The only challenge may be the pulling/rowing variation of movements (movement D). If you get creative, you can use household items like a backpack + books for a makeshift weight to row against.
With a pull-up bar, suspension trainer (like a TRX), treadmill, and dumbbells, kettlebells, or a barbell; you are well outfitted to vary this workout for fantastic results.
Movement Options
Here are a few ideas for different movements. This list is not exhaustive, and you're only really limited by your equipment and creativity. The idea is to swap movements that have similar patterns and muscle groups.
*Movements marked with an asterisk (*) have a video demonstration under the Movement Videos section.
A. Locomotive/Legs
B. Upper Press
C. Lower Hinge
