Equipment Needs?
For the strength program having dumbbells, kettlebells, and bands would be helpful. However this is not necessary at all to do the program. You can use anything that has some weight to it. We suggest a back pack or reusable grocery bag stuffed full of whatever you can find. Small children can also be useful :)
