Celebrity Trainer Patrick Murphy Gives Workout Advice

Celebrity trainer Patrick Murphy, who recently worked with Olivia Wilde to get her ready for her role in TRON: Legacy, visited KCAL9 to talk about three must-have items for home workouts.

Here are the items Murphy mentioned.

Jump Rope:

  • High calorie burner (more than cardio equipment!), establishes coordination, strengthens your cardio respiratory system!

Dumbbells:

  • Great for compound exercises
  • Dumbells allow for endless amount of options for exercises -- many more than what a typical gym machine would offer you

Bands:

  • Another great option for resistance training, bands are great for fixing posture (hello desk jockeys!)
  • Can be wrapped around items at home (desk, chair, door handle) to create unique moves.
