Lightweight And Portable Fitness Equipment To Stay In Shape At School

Many students have great intentions to hit the gym at their schools, but often become overwhelmed with the demands of college and the distance and time it takes to walk or drive to their gyms.

With the purchase of several lightweight and portable fitness products men and women of all ages can stay fit or get into shape right inside their own living quarters. The products that offer the most versatility are ripcords (also called exercise bands), fit balls (or swiss balls), velcro ankle weights and yoga mats. With all these products you can find excellent DVDs that will help keep you focused and on track as they provide challenging workouts for both the beginner and the more advanced.

If you want to buy some portable equipment, most fitness stores will carry all of these products. When buying fit/swiss balls there will be numerous sizes and different qualities that you can
choose from. Ask the salesperson to help you choose the best ball according to your height and weight and your intended level of fitness related exercises that you will be performing using the ball. More advanced athletes who will be standing on a ball will want a thicker textured and higher burst resistant ball to help with stability and longevity.

Ripcords help you to maintain and build lean muscle mass, improve flexibility, lose weight and stay fit. Ripcords feature a DVD with two excellent workouts that they sell on their website. The first workout is the popular Circuit7 that features a full body workout with world champion kick boxer Michael McDonald, and the second workout is the Door Hook Circuit, which gives a great toning and lean muscle building workout to the upper body and arms.

Yoga mats are ideal for practicing Yoga, stretching and on-the-ground exercises such as push ups, sit-ups, and planks.

The best all around way to stay in shape throughout the school year is to be prepared! Purchasing portable fitness equipment will allow you to train anywhere and anytimeeven if it's just to get the blood flowing before an exam!
