If you had to use equipment for each exercise category, then you can choose from the list below. What are the caveats? The equipment must be easy to carry, easy to store, and does not take up a lot of space when in use:
Tubing -
This piece of equipment is even a huge staple in any gym. It quells the anxiety of a novice exerciser and makes them feel, well, at home.
TRX -
 |
| TRX - yellow and black strap |
It may be perhaps the best workout in a bag that you can buy. Its extreme versatility allows for great indoor and outdoor usage, two of TEEM's primary exercise venues.
Mini-band -
Durable, short, light, and smart. Smart...because it works one of your biggest and strongest muscles without touching the area and can fit in the size of your palm.
Stability Ball -
Use it at home for exercise or sitting and give your core a workout. This versatile piece of equipment hints at balance, flexibility, strength
Core Ball -
You're thinking medicine ball, but you do not have to throw the core ball. If you have very sturdy walls (i.e., brick or concrete) or yard space, then a medicine ball works very well. But, you can get similar effects with a core ball minus the interior design or extra lot size.
Sandbag -
It's a good secret that adds a challenge to the low impact exercises as well as to the high impact exercises.
Stairs -
Well, you do not have to carry stairs because they should already be readily accessible. Stairs are a number one piece of equipment for cardiovascular activities, beating out any other cardio machine.
Stretch Strap -
You can just use yourself and/or a partner to help stretch you out. But, if you must get stretching assistance, then the strap is best for flexibility.
With heart,
