I hope you are all having a lovely week. Mine has been filled with lots or homework and prepping for my presentation tonight in my Child Development class, so wish me luck! I know I haven't been posting that much and honestly I have been feeling very depressed lately and just had no energy to do anything. I have kept up with my workouts and clean eating though so I am glad for that. I'm going to try to be more active and post snaps and photos on Instagram a well.
Anyways! Today I wanted to tell you about what I use when I work out at home and how easy it is for you to have everything you need for a full body workout. In my room I have a small little set up with all my equipment (when I say small I mean small) that I use for my daily routine.
First off, having a yoga mat is probably one of the more important things to have because well its what you do all you workouts on. The floors work just fine but it's not as comfortable and can hurt your knees. Mine I got at Target for $20 but you can literally get one anywhere. Next would be some type of weights. In my opinion having a kettle bell is really the perfect thing to have because you only need to buy one and you can use it to sculpt your whole body. I bought mine on amazon for $12. It's a 10 pound one and does wonders for me. When doing my legs I use it for dead lifts, for abs I use it when I do Russian twists, and arms are just self explanatory! I also have two 8 pound dumbbells that I use when working out my arms. They aren't really necessary but they were a gift so that's why I have them. I'll talk more about them when I post about my arm routine.
Two other pieces of equipment I think are important (and cheap) are a jump rope and resistance bands. Jumping rope is such a great form of cardio for those who don't like to run. Guilty as charged! It also forces you to go outside where I sometimes do my whole routine if it's nice enough weather. Now resistance bands are awesome because you can use them while your sitting on the couch or laying in bed watching your favorite Netflix show. The ones I have I got off amazon for about $25. It came with 5 different bands with increasing weight resistance and hand and feet straps. I love using them because I can just be doing nothing and still get a tiny work out in.
Hopefully this can help any of you who are trying to find the right things to use at home and are on a budget! Trust me I have bought things that I was sure I'd use and never have, like my super awesome TRX bands that are still in their bag, but the things I have mention here I use almost daily and I hope you will too!
