Sometimes I have crazy busy days and I can't make it to the gym. I know y'all have never had an experience anything like that...right??
So just in case you do, here are some "toys" that make working out at home a lot easier and more productive. I have all these things and I LOVE them! You can get them at Walmart, on line (Ebay and Amazon are great), or at any sporting goods store.
Pull Up Bar
This handy little piece hangs on your door frame. It is easy to take on and off and can support plenty of weight for you to do a variety of creative arm, shoulder, back, and core workouts on.
Ab Straps
These things go right along with your pull up bar. Some bars even come with the straps. These are excellent for isolating the abdominal muscles and giving them an intense workout without the assistance of other muscles. Make sure you don't swing back and forth during your leg lifts!
Ab Wheel
3 words: HURTS SO GOOD!!!
This little treat tones you up and strengthens you fast. It is also incredibly difficult the fist few rounds. Very effective though. It works your arms, lower back, abs and obliques. My personal favorite.
Perfect Push-ups
You haven't done a push-up till you've done it on one of these suckers. These allow your wrists to rotate and boost your arms, giving you a deeper push-up.
Jump Rope
So basic, yet so awesome! Jump rope makes for great cardio and a sweet little calf workout. Plus, it's fun. Get a few and have competitions with friends and family. See who can go longest, fastest, on one foot, switching feet, backwards, etc. Be creative. It's still a workout.
Yoga Ball
You can work pretty much any part of your body with a good yoga ball. Get one.
Stretch Cords
These are great for resistance workouts. These can help with biceps, triceps, shoulders, forearms, thighs, calves...pretty much everything. And you'll definitely feel the burn.
