Jo’s recommendations
Once in a while, Jo will do a workout using a piece of equipment. She uses different pieces of equipment to keep variety within the workouts and to keep challenging your body. They are all optional – you can participate in the Workout Club without any other equipment, however once in a while, it’s good to mix it up a little.
Jo’s recommendations are below. They are all Amazon links.
