Between a lockdown first and an Italy divided into colored areas then, the lovers of physical fitness were also affected. The workouts, of course, can also be done at home, in difficult times you can manage, but go in gym, using professional equipment is another matter entirely. This is undoubted. Many have tried to reach out as best they could, between crates and bottles of water and online workouts.
In this situation, there are those who have also thought of creating a mini home gym, buying tools that allow you to train your body (almost) as if you went to your trusted equipment room.
