I’m convinced I may own the world’s tiniest home gym — and I feel fitter and healthier than I have in a long time.
Backstory: I recently moved into a camper van full-time and, as badly as I wanted a set of adjustable dumbbells, I simply couldn’t make the necessary space for them. Space can be an issue when you live in a less-than-100-square-foot space with two humans, two cats, and a dog.
Not being able to bring “real” weights was an anxiety factor for me, because I love strength training and am well-educated on its importance, especially for women and even more especially for women as they age. I am a woman who isn’t getting younger, so strength training is a priority for me.
I had to figure out a way to bring resistance training tools with me on the road, because I wasn’t willing to give up one goal (traveling and escaping the city) for another (strength and mobility).
