Minimum At Home Equipment Needs
As you get prepared to jump into your prescribed workouts, you will need some tools on hand. You can purchase or obtain the below items from wherever you like. We did provide links in the event you would like suggestions. Please let us know if you have any questions!
Tools You Will Need to Get Started
Body Weight Scale
Most scales will work as long as you are using the same scale daily for apples-to-apples comparison. That said, we personally love the features the Fit Track Dara scale provides. Being able to measure additional data such as body fat composition, body water, metabolic age, etc. can help you see progress outside of weight alone. Click below for 20% off of your purchase!
Flexible Tape Measure
Any flexible tape will do. Here’s a link to an inexpensive duo that allows one for home and one for travel.
Food Scale
It is important to have a reliable digital food scale in which food can be measured in both grams and ounces. Here’s a link to a small profile and reasonably priced option that we like.
Water Bottle
Any functional water bottle can work. We find this one to be a reasonably priced option that is super functional and makes it easy to get that water in. It is 64oz per jug so two down and you have your gallon!
Helpful Tools (Optional)
