fitness equipment

When I first prepared to move my workout from the gym to my home, all of the fitness equipment I would need was racing through my mind. I quickly went to an online fitness equipment superstore and purchased weights, mats, a balance ball, and a scale. I was nervous, but excited to begin my healthy journey on my own, without a trainer.

It was shortly after I began my workouts that I began to get frustrated. I was feeling great, but the scale said that I was only loosing a little bit of weight. It was after only a few times on the scale that I remembered the most important piece of fitness equipment that the trainer had used at the gym: a body fat caliper!

In my eyes, the scale really can lie. I may not have been dropping pounds like crazy, but according to the caliper, I was definately dropping fat and even better, I was gaining muscle. I feel so great, and I am so happy that I have my new caliper to remind me of my new found health and fitness.
