Pieces of Equipment You Can Use To Get Fit

Sometimes getting fit can seem like an impossible task. Although I've been a personal trainer for 10 years I used to be a couch potato.
When I was younger the thought of going to a gym terrified me. I knew I was overweight and while I did want to get in shape I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of other people. How do I use the equipment? What are the unspoken rules of the gym? Do I need to wait in line to use equipment?
Looking back now I can see how silly these questions were. But at the time? These doubts really did prevent me from getting off the couch. So I decided to start my weight-loss journey in the privacy of my own home.
Over many months I tried lots of home gym equipment so I could work out on my own and learn as I went. I eventually lost 50lbs and the equipment included in this resource guide is how I did it.
Every piece of equipment is under $50 and can be used safely by beginners. I hope that this can help you find a little bit of confidence in the same way it did for me.

A skipping rope is easy to use and 10 minutes each day will soon make a big difference to your overall fitness levels.
Kettlebells have become incredibly popular in recent years because they are beginner friendly. You can get started with a light weight and gradually increase as you improve.
You may be tempted to do sit-ups, press-ups etc on the floor but believe me, a simple fitness mat can save you a lot of discomfort and carpet burns.
If you find the challenge of healthy eating too much to bear then I can help you prepare an individual plan that is easy to stick to.
"Over the years I tried hundreds of fad diets but nothing stuck with me. With Jane's nutrition plan I was able to gradually make changes that have helped me to lose 12lbs in 2 months."
