With the triple-demic looming its ugly head going to the gym might give you more than you bargain for. One alternative could be to start your own home gym.
Gym equipment has come down significantly in the past few years plus manufacturers are making them with storage in mind. You no longer have to worry about that big bulky equipment sitting in the corner of your bedroom doubling as a clothes hanger.
With new innovations, gym equipment has become so compact and easy to fold and store that you really don’t need a lot of space. Here are a few of our favorites.
