Online Equipment-Based High Intensity Class with Emily!
Using exercise equipment can help us get more activation and feedback on moving bigger and faster which enhances our at-home workouts with more fun, variety, and challenge!
Emily will guide you through how to use the equipment during our class for best quality and movement.
We will use this equipment during our online Wednesday HIIT Class at 10:15am Pacific Time. Recordings will be available in the video library.
We chose items that we can use in several different ways for various exercises and that you can substitute with common household items in case you don’t want to purchase this equipment.
All equipment, except the Penalty Box hurdle and Tidal Tank, is from Amazon.
If you have some of the items already, you can use what you have! Total price for all equipment is about $190.
