Last week I told you about my favorite strength-building exercises. This week, I'm sharing with you some store-bought and homemade tools you can use to provide the necessary resistance for those exercises.
You don’t need expensive equipment to build strength. All you need is some way to make your exercises harder to do by using resistance. You will probably need a different resistance for each exercise. Find a resistance that makes each exercise hard to repeat 10 times.
Here are my favorite resistance tools:

Here are my favorite resistance tools:
- Jumbo rubber bands
- Bunge cord style rubber bands
- Surgical tubing rubber straps
- Hand-held weights
- Large cans of food
- Milk or fruit juice jugs (screw on lid tightly)
- Bricks
- Books with straps around them
- Socks filled with rocks (tie at the opening)
