Things I've Found That Are Awesome #62

Happy Everything and Merry New Year to all of you out there. It's been awhile since I've put together a section of Things I've Found so I wanted to revive it before we turn over the New Year next week. Hopefully everyone has had or will have safe travel for the holidays and enjoys the time with friends and family;

It does get a little ridiculous seeing it used for exercise there's probably 10 other ways of being done without it. I like creativity, but there's a line. Learn a bit more about what I'm babbling about with this article from Carl Valle on SimpliFaster.

How to Create a Bare Bones Packable Home Gyms- We all know getting to the gym is half the battle when it comes to getting your workouts in.
