People ask me all the time about what type of equipment to use to keep their workouts fresh. I say, experiment with different exercise toys. Keeping ourselves interested & learning in our workout sessions is the best antidote to boredom.
I was recently at a fitness convention and I felt like a kid in a candy store. I had the opportunity to play with so many cool toys, & of my 2 fav's were the Total Gym which I'm sure you've seen on TV before and the val slides.
The Total Gym has so many cool aspects... you can work your entire body through tension. You can incorporate pilates moves, strength training with easy adjustable systems that are awesome! I just got one for myself & am having a lot of fun with it and its versatility.
Another cool toy was the val slides. You can do such great torture with these little suckers for tons of fun! These slides really allow you to focus on the core.
Each week I'll review two pieces of equipment & share my thoughts about their purpose.
Happy playing!
