My husband is a gym enthusiast, and it is pretty irony because I am the one who “dragged” him to our first gym and got ourselves a personal trainer few years back. I love doing home-based workouts most of the time and I thought, “Well, maybe getting a gym membership will be better in training myself.”. But now, my husband is the one who is always dragging me to the gym! It will be great if I have a small home gym space to myself, which we are planning to do that for our new house soon.
Working as an artist and writer often got me slouching due to the bad ergonomics of my working environment as I work on my writing and art projects for long hours without a break. And I will end up with neck pain, terrible backache and hand cramps so I often do stretching on my mat as well as doing body weight exercises to ease my aching muscles. However, ever since I have move over to his place after my wedding, I always find it very diffcult to do home-based workouts because my equipments are back at my maiden house and his yoga mat is simply too thin for me as I need extra cushion for my back since I injured my tailbone years back.
I love doing workouts at home simply because it is extremely convenient. I can workout at home, dance crazily when no one watching (my husband still think I am a crazy woman when he caught me dancing – hey, it’s an enjoyable cardio exercise!) and then dazed at a corner when I am depleted out of energy after HIIT. And nobody watching anyway!
Last month, Primero Fitness reached out to me to ask to review their products which is their TPE Yoga Mat and neoprene dumbells, I accepted after reading up about their products and find them very suitable to my needs. When their products arrived, my husband was pretty impressed with the yoga mat quality and could not stop touching it (Uh-Oh, I can predict he is going to ditch his skinny mat soon!).
TPE Yoga Mat
Soft, environmentally-friendly and grippy, our TPE yoga mat is the latest technological improvement to traditional PVC yoga mats. No latex, no PVC, or any harmful chemicals. What’s more, its affordable price-point makes it a great choice for budget-conscious yoga beginners. – Primero Fitness
Their TPE yoga mat comes in two colours which is purple-pink and dark blue-light blue. I am quite impressed with the quality of the TPE mat in terms of its thickness and texture. As you can see from the picture, it is much thicker (6mm) than the usual thinner yoga mats. The comfort level increases, and I was able to do sit up without any need to add cushioning as compared to my current mat. The double texture allows us to have a very firm grip, enabling us to do bodyweight workouts with ease. In addition, maintaining the mat in good condition is very easy – you can simply just wipe it over. Simple as that!
Neoprene Dumbells
Neoprene dumbbells are specially designed for women who want to tone up their muscles, have firmer arms, abs, legs, etc. Unlike other dumbbell sets, the emphasise here is on comfort and style.The perfect tool to bring to yoga, cardio, aerobic workout sessions. – Primero Fitness
I love this pair of neoprene dumbbells! Primero Fitness picked out pink colour for me and the colour is really vibrant. The size of dumbbells is small and compact, ideal for carrying around or doing workouts without them feeling too bulky.

I always like to tell myself and others:
The best project you ever work on is YOU.
Hence, starting a mini gym corner in my own home is my preferred style because it is convenient. I am able to take a break from my work and do some light stretching to ease my muscle tension or to destress by doing bodyweight workouts.
Start small and stay fit!
