The cold weather may bring us indoors but let’s keep moving!
For the past decade, I have been trying different equipment to use with my clients and personally. I have composed the following list of simple and essential equipment that takes up minimal space and is easy to travel with. These are the exact pieces of equipment I have been using for years. The quality is great and the price is right. As you can see, I use Amazon to purchase almost 100% of my equipment. I have been pleased with their customer service and speed of delivery, and although the price is not always the lowest, the shopping is quick and easy! Please use the following suggestions as a guide and do your own research to find the product that is right for your fitness needs.
