Happy Monday out there!! I hope you had a fun weekend that felt productive and helped set you up for a great week ahead! Mine was filled with work, hard workouts, bike rides, and just a tad too much sugar. But now I’m ready for a busy week, prepping all my work ahead of time since I have an upcoming vacation where I’m hoping to fully relax and turn off!
If you look through all my workouts from last week, you’re going to see all types of equipment. And something I noticed after I took a poll on instagram stories – a lot of you workout on your own. And whether that’s in a home gym or you just workout by yourself in a globo style gym, it can sometimes be hard to find the right equipment. For example, I absolutely love doing cable kickbacks and abductions, but my gym has the crappiest strap on earth for them. So…I bought my own! And I bring it with me to the gym every day! And that’s what I’ve done for years now. I always bring my jump rope, ankle cable strap, and loop bands. These simple and packable pieces of equipment (also very affordable!) make my workouts more effective, and I never have the excuse that my gym doesn’t have the equipment. Obviously you can’t bring everything you would need into a globo gym, but these pieces below can help create awesome workouts at home or at a gym. Sure, it may look odd carrying in your own TRX equipment, but it’s YOUR workout – make sure it’s an awesome one. Every day! These are all pieces of equipment I’ve been using in my own workouts lately, all under $50, and all incredibly helpful with creating tough workouts for yourself. Hopefully some of these pieces will help you challenge yourself in new ways!
