To supplement your home workouts, there are a few pieces of gear that can really go a long way. Here is a basic list:

• Medicine ball - Recommended weight: Men = 20# Women 14#. If this is too heavy for you, go as heavy as you think you can manage.
• Jump Rope - Speed rope is ideal
• Kettlebell - While you can get one of these at "Dicks" and other chain stores, I strongly encourage you to purchase one from "Body Change" as they are locally manufactured (Terre Haute) and locally sold. Additionally, the price is competitive with what you would pay elsewhere. 8336 W 10th Street, Indy. 209-1799. Be sure to call to confirm store hours and be sure to tell Jim (the owner) that I sent you! Recommended weight: Men = 35# for beginner, 50# for advanced Women = 20# for beginner, 35# for advanced
• Dumbbells - these can be used for many of the movements we do with kettlebells and barbells. You can pick these up at "Play it Again Sports" for about $1.00 per pound. You can also find them pretty cheap on craigslist.com.

If you already have a jump rope, please bring it to our weekly workout!

Sleep well and I'll see you tomorrow!
