Resistance Bands / Balance Balls / Dumbbells

I've been asked what is the best equipment to buy for a total body workout on a budget. With a medium resistance band, large blow up balance ball, and an adjustable set of dumbbells you can have everything you need to build a great body in a small amount of time. The best thing is that they can all tuck under the bed and out of the way!!

This will be the main video focus on the new www.fitclub.ca web-site. Building, toning and waking up the muscle in the body with these three types of equipment. Wal-Mart, Fitness Source and all sorts of on-line shops sell everything you need for about $100. Start with the resistance band for about $15-20, then when you can afford the ball $20-30 and last the dumbbell set will run you around $50. You may also want to invest in a good pair of shoes. The $21 pair at Wal-Mart may seem like a great deal, but they will wear out faster and do not offer the support of a true althletic shoes. Personally, I like Nike and Reebok, but I have also bought Adidas. Expect to pay about $65-85 for a pair that should last a year or more with light use, 6 months if you are an avid walker and even sooner if you like running.

Until next time!
