    I'm using fitness tubes. They're affordable, come in different resistance levels, and if you're travelling by plane or train and need to keep your luggage under a certain weight, they're extremely light and easily packable.

    There's lots of great videos on YouTube to start out with at home! :smile:

    Kettlebells - easy to use, time efficient.

    I go heavy with them, just about ready to move to 20kg. They give you useable strength that helps in your everyday life.

    They are also a great calorie burn because their is an element of cardio in the moves.
