What Equipment Will I Need for the Workouts?

At least one pair of dumbbells.

Ideally, these will have adjustable weights, or you will have a set of dumbbells comprising a range of weights.

An exercise ball.

The exercise ball is often referred to as a Swiss ball, and also known as a balance ball, fitness ball, gym ball, stability ball, physioball, Swedish ball, therapy ball, or yoga ball.

Resistance bands or tubing with a range of resistance.

Choose bands that can be easily anchored to doors at various heights, and that can be attached to your ankles as well as held in your hands.  Alternatively, you could use a cable machine.

You will also require resistance bands that can be tied in a knot to create a loop, or a premade mini-band loop.

At least one medicine ball.

For most exercises, a medicine ball weighing 3-4% of your body weight will be appropriate – that’s about 2 to 3kg (4.4 to 6.6lbs) for most people.  See How Much Weight Should I Lift? for more information.

A foam roller.

See An Introduction to the Foam Roller – The Golfer’s Best Friend for more details.

A kettlebell.  Alternatively, you could use dumbells.

An exercise or yoga mat, or some other surface where you can do floor work comfortably and safely.

An exercise bench.  This need not be expensive, a basic model is perfect, but choose one that is sturdy and can be set in an incline position.

A stretch rope.  You can get specialised stretch topes, but piece of plain soft rope about 3 yards (2.7m) in length will suffice.  A skipping rope is good for this.
