This is yours truly Michelle M. Freeman
Take BEFORE pictures and then as we go along continue to take progress pictures. At the end I would love to see your before and after pictures.
Remember that your body is an investment and it's all you have. So spend the money once to have everything you need to keep it strong and healthy.
This is a must have in everyone's home. I like how it isn't drilled into your door like some and how you can remove it easy when not in use.
Bowflex Free Weights:
I love these free weights. You only need one set to put under your bed and then you can lift as much as you need when you need it. If you already have weight that's great. We will need our weights to go up to atleast 30lbs.
Exercise Bands:
These bands are AWESOME and a MUST HAVE! I have skipped the free weights all together when on trips or days when I am at the park because bands are all you need. They are amazing for getting a great upper and lower workouts.
Exercise Matt:
Everyone needs an exercise matt. It keeps you from getting a rug burn or adds padding for hard wood floors.
Balance Board:
I have this at home and find it to help me when doing legs and arms to work more muscle fibers. When you balance you are engaging more muscles then when standing still. THIS YOU DON'T HAVE TO, HAVE TO, HAVE but IT'S A NICE EXTRA.
Weight Bar:
Weight bars are so useful for many exercises. I have one that is 18lb and find that more would be even better and that's why am posting this 20lb bar. THIS YOU DON'T HAVE TO, HAVE TO, HAVE but IT IS VERY HELPFUL when doing squats. I will at some points use it but again it's not a must have it's an EXTRA.
Ankle Weights:
Yes I have these ankle weights! They are so great for a power walk or adding more to your leg or ab workout. I own two pairs and double up on them. Why I love the ones I posted here is because you can take the pins out and wash them. THIS YOU DON'T HAVE TO, HAVE TO, HAVE but I will be using them and find THEY ARE A NICE EXTRA.
Loop Bands:
These bands are great for leg workout. You can tie them around your ankles or thighs without them digging in like the rope bands. THIS YOU DON'T HAVE TO, HAVE TO, HAVE but when doing some leg exercises it's nice to have a band that is soft like this one. JUST A NICE EXTRA.

ReplyDeleteSarah, welcome to the Extreme Team. So happy to have you on the team. Let me know how you are doing as you go along.
DeleteI really want to try this ! I know I'd be starting a little late but is it still possible to join?
ReplyDeleteThe poping can just be air between the joint making that noise. I have been told that as long as it doesnt hurt thats what it is. I find it to happen to my clients who need to strengthen that area.
ReplyDeleteOk thanks, I'm not experiencing pain, it's just weird and annoying. Just completed day one, and found a lot of other areas to be popping, even the front of the ankle in the one legged squats! Oh well, not gong to let that stop me.
ReplyDeleteI want to join this! My name is Maria and I put in as anonymous because i didn't have google account. I am getting married in 6 months and need to get into shape. I gained 10 lbs and need to lose it asap and tone up, especially my legs and butt! How can I join????
