5F RESISTED GLIDE · KIT LIST
Your Resisted Glide kit
This is the kit I train and teach with. Kettlebells are the one piece you'll use in every session; resistance bands and wrist or ankle weights complete the set. Every exercise is scaled, so start with what you have and build from there.

The kit I use
Kettlebells, bands & weights
