Balance Ball // Dumbbells // Power Ring Weight // Adjustable Workout Deck // Yoga Mat // Nike Training Shoes // YETI Rambler // Gym Floor Tiles
A few of my fitness goals for this year are to increase strength training and create a designated mini gym area at home. I think I'm at the point where I've done enough weightlifting at the gym to be able to guide more by myself at home, I just need some fun new equipment. Currently I've been staying in the 12-20lb dumbbell range at the gym so I'd like to add a few more sizes of these dumbbells to my collection. My go-to for regular sets has been 12s + 15s and then I'll use 20s for heavier lifting or things like sumo/goblet squats. I've been keeping in this range so I can maintain proper form + not kill my body (lol) but I've definitely come along way from when I first started. For months I would only ever use the 8lbs (maybe the 10s every once in awhile) and now I never grab for them.
The dumbbells are really the only *essential* I need, however I want to make a little gym area with some other accessories. *Obviously* these connectable foam tiles are a must + I also think these workout decks are handy. We use them all the time at OTF + I love how many different weight exercises you can use them with. I added a few other random items to the list like a new YETI (not an at home essential, lol) + some new shoes. I've done a little bit of research and this Nike pair gets a great rating for both lifting + cardio.
