Bags of flour
Many of us have huge bags of flour at home. You can easily use them to train your arms, shoulders, and legs.
Jug of water
This gives you the flexibility to increase the weight as per your comfort. You can use it to train your back, legs, and hamstrings.
Suitcase
Pick a suitcase of your preferred size and fill it up with things like books, objects, and other heavy stuff. This will easily add a lot of weight to your suitcase and you can use it to do heavy lifting at home.
Schoolbag
Almost everyone has a bag at home so fill it up with a number of books and add this weight to your squats for an effective workout.
Bag of rice
Heavy back of rice can help you train your lower back, hamstrings, and even shoulders.
A towel
A towel can do more than just mop up your post workout sweat: Just pull it taught between your hands for a DIY resistance band.
