Compact Space Saving Fitness Equipment With Guidance & Motivation

1. The Body Power 3 in 1 Rower offers cardio and strength training options plus folds up nicely into a closet or corner. It’s the perfect compliment to a walking and dumbbell strength routine and especially great for anybody needing to strengthen the entire back. TIP: Read the reviews to see why other buyers love it so much.

2. The Total Gym is a surprisingly great option that allows for traditional cable exercises as well as more Pilates and yoga focused routines. It folds up and stores under a bed too. TIP: Be sure it has a foot platform and follow along videos.
