Fit Friday

You don't have to go to the gym to get a good workout...you can create your own gym at home with just a few pieces!

1. TRX Suspension Trainer: This allows you to do thousands of exercises using your body weight and you can anchor it to a door at home.
2. Bosu Ball: stand on it while doing shoulder presses, curls or squats to get an added core bonus or use it for some killer crunches.
3. Kettelbell or Kettelbell Set: This is one of the best pieces of fitness equipment out there! You’ll get a cardio burn (up to 20 calories per minute!) plus strengthen and tone every muscle in your body. But make sure you learn how to use it with proper form first so you don’t get injured!
4. Dumbbells: It always great to have a few sets of dumbbells at home. I like these since the vinyl covering will help protect your floor from scratches.
5. Jumprope: 10 calories per minute…simple, easy, effective cardio in a hurry!
6. Resistance Bands: These are a great compliment or alternative to dumbbells. In fact, you can even stack a few together to really feel the burn!
7. Stability ball: Perfect for core work, sit on it for shoulder presses, lay down for chest work, prop your feet on it for pushups or use it against the wall for squats. It’s an inexpensive accessory that will really amp up your workouts!
