Are you one of the millions of people who resolve to take care of their body by exercising more in 2022?
No matter what your reason for wanting to exercise more, the benefits go beyond just getting in shape.
According to the Mayo Clinic, regular physical activity fights weight gain, helps you fight disease and health conditions, increases energy and mood, and, perhaps most importantly, is a major stress reliever.
So where do you start shopping for home workout equipment without shelling out a lot of money for an exercise bike or elliptical?
If coaching is your thing, there are countless apps and video services to join in, or you can take advantage of the endless trainings on YouTube.
You'll still need some gear to help you though, so we turned to Jessica Rae, founder of Rae Studios in San Francisco and a FitReserve Anywhere trainer, for some tips on low-cost gear to improve your workouts.
