You don’t need loads of equipment to do an effective home workout: as model, founder and mother of five Frida Redknapp<\/a> recently shared, a pair of dumbbells can give you all the resistance you need to build functional lower-body strength<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Frida is clear that her motivation to stay strong as she ages comes from her family. \u2018Strength training is especially important to me as I get older,\u2019 she shared in a recent post<\/a>. \u2018Building muscle, keeping my bones strong and investing in my long-term health\u2026feeling good and staying strong for myself and the people I love.\u2019<\/p>\n

Refreshingly, she\u2019s not about chasing perfection, either. \u2018I\u2019m not training for a season. I\u2019m training to be strong for life,\u2019 she continued. \u2018I always try to show up for myself, even if it\u2019s just 20 minutes\u2026 for me, it\u2019s not about perfection, it\u2019s about consistency.\u2019 <\/p>\n

In her recent post<\/a>, she shared her go-to lower-body exercises using just a pair of dumbbells, adding that she prefers lighter weights so she can focus on her form. <\/p>\n

\u2018Good form is always more important than heavy weights!\u2019 she stressed. ‘Start with whatever weight you feel comfortable with and gradually build up.’<\/p>\n
