Ever since the Intensity Series arrived I have spent an enormous amount of money on new equipment! First I had to have the Walmart barbell, the Super Step, the 8lb Power Systems medicine ball, and a 55cm stability ball. That sufficed for awhile.
Then I bought the 10 lb Walmart medicine ball and another 55cm stability ball. Why two stability balls? One is inflated to capacity (harder), and the other a little softer to challenge the core in different ways.
Now that I have been doing ME step-ups on the tall box for several workouts, the 8 and 10 lb med balls are no longer challenging. Add to the pile a 12 lb strength training ball from the Nike Instructor catalog (which is hard like a basketball - also got it in 8 lbs!) and a 15 lb med ball from Power Systems.
One day last week I decided to change all the plate weights on my Firm padded barbell because the old ones were peeling and looked shabby. So were my 8, 15 and 20 lb hex dumbbells, so I bought new ones. While shopping, I couldn't resist 7 and 9 lb Neoprene dumbbells. Oh, and let's not forget my new curl bar with a full set of plate weights, another splurge!!
Today my new Challenge Bars in 9 and 15 lbs arrived from Fitness Wholesale, as well as the Troy Lite Barbell from Fitness1st. I never thought a barbell could be so beautiful, lol!
My living room looks like Cathe's studio and I love it!!
