as a person who do not like gym setting , I need something to keep I move and interested . I have to say I be very pleased with this purchase . exercise be of good selection , and I can change they up , if need to push myself . it come with a resistance band , or you can edit it to hand weight . the resistance band be a little cheap , and some of my rep do not get acknowledge unless I have the band as short as possible . you can use the balance board with this , but I have yet to do so . I have complete the 3-week cardio kick , and now start on the 9-week program . have lose 2 lb already . great purchase .
