Fitness
The fitness tool is small but mighty.
This might include a pile of dumbbells, variousresistance bands, ayoga mat, and perhaps astep platformorankle weights.
I have all of the above and cycle through them depending on the workout Im doing.
One thing that was missing, though?
A mini Pilates ball.
And now Im a convert, too.
Read on for how the small but mighty fitness tool has upgraded my workout routine.
Plus, the extra squeeze made everything burn exponentially more.
(Read: My butt was on fire.)
Im also a fan of the same challenge during crunches.
Hold the ball between your outstretched hands, and itll inspire you to stretch just a little bit further.
It certainly does that for me, and my chronically tight muscles are grateful.
Im adding it to my pile of workout gear and plan to bring it out on the regular.
