Nuru Exercise Anywhere Cards - A Review

A big challenge with staying fit can be the gym itself.
Sometimes you:

• don't have time to travel to the gym
• are traveling and there is no gym at your hotel
• prefer to exercise outside

One of the first things my trainer taught me was that being able to workout without a gym or any equipment was crucial to overall fitness. She taught all her clients how to train every major muscle group without use of gym equipment.

Let's face it, being able to get a good workout in a small space with no equipment is a handy set of skills to have. Even for the most experienced fitness fanatic, creating a complete workout routine with no equipment in a small hotel room can be a challenge. Today, I'm reviewing a product that might help you with that challenge. It's Exercise Anywhere Knowledge Cards by Nuru.

Nuru advertises: "Want to build a better body without a gym? This deck is for men and women of all fitness levels."

Can a deck of 30 double-sided cards really help you build a better body and just how comprehensive can a small deck of exercise cards be? Let's find out.

For a small deck of cards, Nuru covers all the important fitness topics. The overall contents consist of:

1. Basics
2. Chest
3. Back
4. Lower Body
5. Shoulders
6. Arms
7. Abs
8. The Cardio Lab

These cards hit all the key points of what you need to know to create a great workout with no gym equipment. To get you started, the cards cover key items for exercises and cardio. Almost every card contains an easy to understand exercise illustration and many cards contain multiple illustrations. I especially like that Nuru's Exercise Anywhere cards take the time to explain, in a very motivating way, why you are doing the exercise.

Each exercise is well explained and many of these cards provide several variations for each exercise. So 1 card can actually teach you several different exercises. For the most part, you won't need any equipment to perform these exercises. However, a few exercises require the use of a towel and 1 exercise requires the use of water bottles. But these are easy-to-find items.  

These cards are easy to navigate. The deck comes with a metal ring. Each card contains a title on the top of the card and a subject tab on the side of the card. So you never get lost when reading through the cards.

Who are these cards for? They are for everyone from beginner to expert. If you are just starting out, these cards will be of great assistance. If you are a gym expert, you'll still learn a thing or two from these cards and more importantly, devise new ways to keep in shape when traveling and no gym is available. For a traveler, these cards won't take up space in a suitcase yet they'll provide you with complete suggestions for exercises that you could perform in a hotel room. In addition, much of the information in these cards can also be applied to exercises with weights. If you are working out with gym equipment, these cards make a great refresher on the principles of exercise.

Nuru's Exercise Anywhere cards make great addition to anyone's fitness library. These cards cost $8(US) from the Nuru website. For the amount of information the cards provide, $8 seems very affordable. If you are looking for some exercise ideas, give these cards a try.

I think this is very informative, because not all of us can afford to go to a gym and use professional equipment. Want to know more about exercise equipment. But you can always work out at home using things around the house.
