Build Your Home Gym For Less Than $100 + Full Body At Home Workout

May 21, 2015Cardio/HIITWhitney CarlsonComment

Do you have limited time to work out due to a busy schedule? We understand completely! While we suggest that people try to join a gym if possible it’s nice to have some equipment at home for when you can’t make it to the gym or if there isn’t a gym nearby. In most gyms you have options like machines, racks, and cables but you can create a home gym that will get the job done without all the bells and whistles! You can STILL get in a great workout at home. Some of our best transformations have come from our at-home workout plan transformation winners!

Since we want you to #MakeYourMove wherever you are, we want to give you some options of things to keep around the house. Over time you can even add different items and equipment so that you can continue to improve your own gym at home!

BUILD YOUR HOME GYM FOR LESS THAN $100

40-lb Dumbbell Set - $42.99

Resistance Tubes with Handles - $24.99

Anti-Burst Gym Ball - $17.99

You’ll even have some money left over to snag a Speed Rope for $7.99 (it’s great for cardio bursts)!

Although coffee tables (or even the ground!) can work for some exercises, if possible it is best to have a bench to use. If funds and space allow consider adding one of these benches below to your home gym. Bonus, they come with weights!

Crunch Board & Vinyl Dumbbell Set - $89.99

Weight Bench & 80-lb Weight Set - $129.99

If a bench is out of the question and you are a little more advanced, the exercise ball is great for things like curls, chest press, etc. The ball forces you to stabilize your core while performing the movement.

FULL BODY AT HOME WORKOUT

Want a fun new workout to try with your new equipment? We put this Full Body At Home Workout together for you!

You will perform the circuit as listed and repeat the entire circuit 2-3 times (depending on how much time you have).

Band Bicep Curls X 15

Overhead Dumbbell Triceps Extensions X 15

Eating Clean at Costco {Shopping List}

April 19, 2015Shopping, Most PopularWhitney Carlson11 Comments

We get a lot of questions about where we shop, how much money we spend, etc. We are going to do a series of posts on "Eating Healthy on a Budget" but wanted to go ahead and share our updated weekly Costco shopping list (we've shared a Costco list before but it has been a few years since we updated it!).

UPDATE: Here's our first post in the series: How to eat healthy on a budget!

Below are the items we typically purchase from Costco on a weekly basis. We also pick up some smaller items at Publix or Whole Foods Market. We spend around $80-$110 weekly at Costco for the two of us (Scott eats A LOT!).

I've listed the item, price, and the recipes that we typically use the item for. You can find all of our recipes on listed by meal on the website. Follow us on Pinterest so you don't miss a recipe! Also, join our FREE Healthy Living Challenge for more shopping and food prep tips and tricks!

Keep in mind that these are the prices at our local Costco in GA. The availability and pricing will vary.
