That is where resistance bands come in, truly good friends, for it seems everyone's life big and small is busy. Their superpower is to tone and strengthen muscles anywhere; they are almost offended by the spirit of the hippie, but buying them wisely would help. Probably considered one of the cheapest yet versatile means for strength training, muscle toning, and flexibility any regular guy might think of. Really easy to put away anywhere: in the corner, like that trunk of your car, bedroom, and tight nook with hardly any fuss, and anywhere can still be worked with without an uneasy set-up of the big machines or the cluttering of your house with it.
