Kettlebells
No surprise there. You should buy a kettlebell! Top tips:
- If possible get a Neoprene covered ones (like my yellow / grey or reds
- Alternatively, opt for the Cast Iron (like the black ones).
- If possible, don’t buy vinyl ones! Or plastic. Or anything from Argos! They are too bulky and you’ll hate them!
Suggested Brands:
There are lots of other options available on Amazon and eBay. The slight risk is that these non branded kettlebells may have chunky handles making them uncomfortable.
If any of these links don’t work, or if you find a brilliant source / brand, please let me know!
Bands
This is the one I recommend and you should purchase the Heavy. It’s very small and very tight, with not much give. This is best suited if you are a small build and already quite strong. And if you love the burn of Monster Walks. A Medium resistance may also be appropriate.
You will need a glute band.
This option is slightly looser but you still need adequate resistance.
No one should be buying a light resistance! It’s a waste of money!
Pilates
If you’re thinking to join the Pilates sessions, here’s a suggested kit list with some examples. These are optional and you will always be given alternatives based on regular household items.
- Head Rest / Head Cushion
- Long Resistance Band
