Say Hello to Your At Home Gym for under $100
Say Hello to Your At Home Gym for under $100

As a mom, wife, trainer, taxi driver, cook, creative, cleaning lady and schedule coordinator (to name a few:) my schedule is rather hectic! As a result, it is soooo much easier for me to workout at home. While I do enjoy heading to the gym to try new equipment and workout with friends, the ease of walking down to the basement and getting in a killer workout can’t be beat! When I reference walking down to my basement to workout, please don’t be deceived. It is the basement in a hundred year old house with low ceilings, a washer and dryer, area for kids to watch tv and….an area for me to keep my at home gym equipment. By no means do I have a large, designated space to use only as a gym. I’ve carved out a small area in a multi-functioning basement that I call my gym. And truth be told…I LOVE IT! Nothing beats having the ability to get your workout in at 5am or waiting until after you drop your daughter off for basketball practive that night. I have been collecting equipment for my at home gym for quite some time now, but I have put together some favorites that can get you started with your own at home gym for under $100. Yes!!! UNDER $100!!! Whether your space is outside, in your bedroom, your family room or any corner you can clear out, you DO have room to create your own at home gym. The following pieces of equipment will get you well on your way to creating a healthy life, happy life. So, say HELLO to your own at home gym!

White Bean Salad
White Bean Salad

Beans, beans, beans! My summer has been all about trying to increase my plant based protein intake and beans are an excellent way to do just that! This salad is a refreshing, satisfying and full of ingredients that are truly good for you! As with every recipe I post, it is REALLY simple and takes no more than 10 minutes to put together. If you’re in a rush you can eat it right away, but if you let it rest in the refrigerator all the flavors really marinate together and enhance the salad. This white bean salad is a great side dish to any meal and the left overs can be used throughout the week as a lunch or snack option as well!

Getting plant based protein is a definite win in my book, so we’ve been trying to get creative with different ways to incorporate beans into our diet. To call this a salad recipe is a bit lofty, truth be told. All you are doing is opening some cans and adding a few store bought items and tada! You’ve got a delicious, low fat, protein packed summer bean salad. My kind of recipe!!! It’s a great side for any menu and an easy go to when you are asked to bring a salad to a BBQ or summer gathering.
