to accomplish, I list the parts I like, and I am compassionate with myself. By seeing my body for what it is, far from the

I set up my home fitness gym at home

How do I set up a fitness area at home?

envisage a warm, well-ventilated and bright room with enough space to hold my equipment without having to put it all
away at the end of the sessions. I can equip myself with a folding treadmill or a connected fitness mirror for training like a
