I am 64 so not into heavy duty workouts but I do lift weights, walk every day with my dog, bought the DVD "Tony And The Folks" from Beachbody, and have a mat. Seems to help me keep fit. I am also gardening now so more exercise which I quite enjoy.
No gadgets at my house, but since one of the 'staff experts' mentioned TRX I thought I would ask: how are we supposed to record TRX in our fitness tracker? (I attend a TRX class at my Y.)
I love the traditionals - home gym, dvds, etc. Here are some you may not have seen before that are great additions: Trek Desk (allows you to walk and work at the same time); Manta and StingRay - take the pain out of back and front squats by cushioning the bar while helping you keep it in the right place; Versagripp - use this to help pick up heavy weights without overly pressuring your forearms; paceweights - if you have metal dumbbells, you can increase your weights by half pound increments; kettleguard - best cushion for wrists I've seen when using a kettlebell; TRX - great travel strength training approach; The Grid foam roller - small and hollow, so you can pack your foam roller in a suitcase!
Summer's not over yet! There's still plenty of time to tone up and bust out that swimsuit for one last hurrah. Get results in just 15 minutes per week with this plan--no excuses!
