Living Healthy in the Real World

These are a few health-related things that I really love. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to leave a comment or email me at sagan.morrow@gmail.com. If you want to see your book/product on this page, or if there’s something that you love which you think deserves some extra publicity, let me know about it and I’ll evaluate it! If it gets my seal of approval, it will be added to the list.

There’s a lot of fantastic equipment you can use to have a “gym” in your own home, so if you need any ideas or want to spice up your workout, just take a peek at this list.

- bike (with helmet!)

- dumbbells (I use 8 or 10 lbs)

- hip scarf (for belly dancing)

- hula hoop

- Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred dvd

- jump rope

- Leslie Sansone’s Walk Away the Pounds dvd’s

- NURU Exercise Anywhere cards (check out my review here)

- pedometer (I use a basic Sportline 360)

- pilates bands

- stability ball

- tennis racket

- treadmill (I bought mine second-hand for $300 – it’s a Pro-Form 785 model and works great for inclined walking)

- yoga mat (I have two: one is a a thicker mat great for pilates and lots of movement, whereas the other is thinner and works well for taking with me to yoga studios)
