This year I decided to get ahead of the game as far as New Year’s resolutions. Like 80 percent of Americans, I made the resolution to get fit, get in better shape, tone my muscles, and lose some weight. However, unlike everyone else, I decided to start mine the day after Thanksgiving. With all of the inexpensive yet highly effective exercise equipment at my disposal, I figured there was no reason to wait any longer.

The first purchase I made was the Perfect Push Up. Push ups are one of the oldest and most widely used forms of exercise, but when you weigh 235 pounds, they can be rough on your wrists. The rotating motion of the Perfect Push Up takes the strain off of my wrists and joints while the extra height of the handles allows me to go lower into each rep. I can feel the “workout burn” in my arms, chest, shoulders, and back when I use them and I can hardly wait to see what a difference this will make in my physique after a few weeks.

I have always been one to spend a lot of time working my upper body to build and tone muscle. Big arms, broad shoulders, and a toned chest… every guy wants them and every girl wants their guy to have them. That was the main reason I decided to buy the Perfect Push Up, but I decided that I also need to work my abs and lower body. For that reason, I bought the Fitball Exercise Ball with Pump. This is a seemingly simple product but there are an endless number of gym ball exercises that you can do. They work everything from your abs to your legs, and even your upper body. The seated wall roll was especially tough - I can still feel it in my legs this morning!

Those are the only two products I have purchased so far, but I am well on my way to getting in shape for the New Year. My next purchase will probably be the PilatesStick Portable Body Sculpting System. Pilates is a low-impact form of exercise used by professional athletes and celebrities to stay toned, fit, and flexible - honestly, who wouldn’t want to look like a baseball player or a movie star?
