What I Loved in July

To say my workout routine has evolved would be an understatement. I haven't stepped foot inside a gym since before Covid-19 changed everything. Even when the gym orders were lifted in Los Angeles, I still avoided them because I didn't feel comfortable wearing a mask while working out, but I also didn't feel comfortable not wearing one. I've bought a ton of workout equipment, but my latest purchase (and favorite) are these resistance bands . I can use them pretty much anywhere (I've hooked them onto a door, used them at a playground, and attached them to a fence), and they're easy to transport. They come in a variety of resistance: 40 lbs, 25 lbs, 20 lbs, 15 lbs, and 10 lbs. You can use just one or stack them for a tougher workout. The kit also includes a door anchor, hand grips and ankle straps so you can get a full-body workout no matter where you are. At the gym, I would often use the universal machine to tone my arms, back, abs, and legs. This is the closest thing I've found because I'm able to do a lot of the same movements while achieving the same results.
