Equipment

What kind of workout equipment do you have in your house?

I have a treadmill, some free weights and a yoga video.
I also have 2 dogs that need to be walked a couple times a day.
Do they count as workout equipment?

When at home, I do stretches but that is just about all. I have been thinking of picking up Yoga again.

Older women like me enjoy it because the benefits are great and the pressure on the joints are nil.

Years ago, I used free weights and moved up to better equipment as gyms started using them. I loved it.; ▶ Reply to This

-Pull up bar
-Push up stabilizers
-small free-weights
-a set of elastic resistance bands
-Yoga mat

The thing I like about yoga is that you can do it even when you are not feeling well. Many people use not feeling well as an excuse to skip their workout. Yoga is a good fill in for this. It is also a way to stretch your muscles before and after you workout.; ▶ Reply to This
