Directions: Pretend you are the owner of a new gym. Your gym opens in one month—just enough time for you to buy all the new equipment you will need. Thankfully, your partner, John Richguy, has already bought all the cardiovascular equipment. However, he has left the purchasing of the strength training equipment to you. The problem is that you only have enough money to buy ten different pieces of equipment. Equipment could be machines, free weights, core strengthening equipment, bands, etc. Select ten different pieces of strength training equipment and explain why you chose them. An example is provided below. In order to complete this assignment, you may want to review the lessons in this section. You can also check out the following sites to get more ideas:
Example:
A set of free weights. With these weights my customers can do virtually any exercise. I will just need to allocate some space for them. The weights will go from 3 pounds to 120 pounds to make sure everyone at all different levels will have weights that work for them.
Swiss Ball. I know that this ball can improve stabilizer strength and abdominal strength for a variety of core muscles. It is easy to use, and people advanced in strength training could use it with free weights.
