Kurt Lutgert is a spiritual development author and speaker who received his bachelor's degree in religion and philosophy from Duke University in 1995. Supplementing his extensive background in spirituality, Kurt Lutgert performs roughly three hours of meditation and exercise every day, including resistance training. Resistance training requires minimal space and equipment and can generally be performed at home instead of going to a gym. Below are three types of resistance exercises you can try in the comfort of your own home. 1. Plank. A critical exercise for preventing lower back pain and tightening your core, planking is similar to a push-up, except you simply hold a raised position for up to two minutes. Begin by lying on your stomach, and bracing your core muscles, raise yourself with elbows and toes while keeping your buttocks level with your shoulders. 2. Straight leg raises. While lying flat on your back and engaging your core, bend one leg up and keep the other straight on the ground. Tighten the quad muscle in the straight leg; raise it until both thighs are parallel, and hold the position for five seconds before lowering it to just above the floor. For best results, do two sets of 10 reps with each leg, increasing reps as your performance improves. 3. Bicep curl. Stand atop a resistance band with both feet, and hold both ends of the band with your palms facing upwards. Keep your feet aligned with your hips, your elbows pinned to your sides, and pull the band up until your elbows are at 90-degree angles.
