uhmm dumbells and barbells..lol

I use TRX, Bands, the Power Wheel, Kettlebells, and whatever else that fits the needs of my clients. No one modality will do everything that somebody needs.

Definitely the soft foam roller which I use to teach my MELT classes. I always have a few new ones with me because they sell like hot cakes.

I agree that using one piece of equipment too much can set you up for failure. I jump from stability ball to medicine ball and resistance bands for most workouts.

Right now, my favorite toy is the stability ball. Lots of options!

Agreed! My girlfriend is learning to squat properly with help from the stability ball. It gives me peace of mind to have extra support for movements that demand good form.
Comment by Andrew Halligan 205 days ago
It is a good way to make sure that good form is being used, for many exercises.

I certainly do love my "toys"!

But my favorite workout toy has been the TRX for 2 years now!

Interval circuits combining cardio and body weight exercises and then following up with stretching.

It does it all for me!

Your own body! Take a break from the toys and get creative and back to basics using your own body weight.
