How could the exercises in this session be adapted if the client were not able to participate as planned or if they were too easy?
You could swap out any of these exercise for anything that hits the same target muscle group E.G. if you cannot barbell bench press you can
perform a Dumbbell bench press or if you have absolutely no equipment you could perform push ups.
