Hi Fam!! Given we may have some new curriculum headed our way, and because periodically I've seen related questions asked, I thought it might be nice to share some equipment I use that I love. First up is this mat: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092XMWXK7?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_5&th=1&psc=1 I have an enthusiastic and aggressive tailbone which has always given me grief in any seated ab work, or really any time I sit period, even when I was a kid. This mat makes sit ups and boat pose possible, whereas before, I had major pain in these positions and couldn't do them because they caused my tailbone to break through the skin (sorry if this is TMI and intense, just hoping it's helpful). It does slip around, and it is a bit fragile, but I use it under my normal Manduka mat for cushion and it's fabulous.
Secondly, after almost five years of M/BODY I decided to buy a barre. I bought this freestanding one, per a recommendation from the fam: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082WVC5TF?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 So far, I'm super happy with the quality. It's light, but does stay put on a concrete floor, and I've been able to successfully fairy jump without it slipping out from under me. I'm a 5'7, solid woman 🤣 and it handles my body weight like it's nothing.
And, lastly--if you're in the market for inexpensive hand weights, I've been super happy with my All Motion ones from Target. The quality for price can't be beat.
Anyone else have any tips or products they love for this work?
