In the series we will go through a variety of mostly budget friendly equipment that you can use to set up a home gym, or even options to keep in your office.
The first equipment is the yoga mat. This is great starting piece as it provides not only a designated space for exercise, but also gives you a non slip, cushioned surface to do your exercises on. If you need additional cushion then interlocking foam mats may a good option for underneath your yoga mat. Yoga mats are also extremely portable making them easy to travel with and you can roll them or fold them into convenient sizes for storage.
