Guest guest Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 My living room has morphed into a veritable gym, my prize piece of equipment is my standing kickboxing bag. When you're pissed off at someone there's nothing like puttin' on the gloves, cranking up the stereo, and havin' at it! Over time I have accumulated a six tier step, a variety of dumbells (I wrote an essay on that once), a barbell set (cheap at Wallmart) Pilates balls (again, cheap at Ross), yoga mat, athletic mat, yoga strap, medicine ball, 3 stability balls, resistance bands, etc. Yes, it is quite a toybox, and I love it! I actually *use* these things wtih my workout videos because sometimes they are required equipment. Of course you can do many workouts without equiment and have a less cluttered existence. Yoga practices are up there in my favorites and pilates rocks too (Robin actually has a reformer!). Hi-Low can get you the cardio without a step, and Tae Bo and other cardio kickboxing tapes are great for that too. Cathe's workouts do require dumbells at the very least, as do the Firm's. However, they are kick @$$ workouts and can really transform your body! I am a person who craves/thrives on variety, so I " need " these accesories, but I'm convinced you can get into terrific shape without them. At work on my break I do 20 flights of stairs and that always kills me. Okay I'm done rambling for now! I gotta get to class. My sister's coming today so I gotta make sure it's an extra good workout for everyone today! Uppercuts, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
