Experience
I have been a personal trainer,aerobics instructor,nutrition advisor and boot camp instructor for several years,in South Florida.
I generally prefer to train people outdoors in a park setting.The workout outside is just as tough as a gym workout.I can give people a excellent workout using just their bodyweight.I do a bootcamp style class with groups of 5-10 people.

Subject: exercise and equipment
Question
I'm looking to soon purchase exercise equipment. I have a low budget and am wanting to tone and firm my abs and love handles I am female 23 yrs old my height is 5'4 and 130 lbs. What would you suggest? What are the best exercise I could do until I get the equipment? Also I have an ab lounge are they really at all useful?Thank you for your time.
Answer
Hi Brittany,thank you for your question.
The ab lounge is an OK machine,you will get some results from using it.
The best items that you can get for a home workout are:
adjustable bench,(flat,incline,decline)
adjustable dumbbells,
stability ball,
resistance band,
and a mat.
These combined should cost less than $200.
Until you get these items,you can do bodyweight exercises at home.
Stationary lunges
walking lunges
squats
lateral steps
push-ups
pull-ups
crunches
leg lifts
bicycles
torso twists
jumping jacks
stair running
run in place.
Let me know if I can be of any more assistance to you,
Thanks,
bonnie
