PSA: My neighbor's DIY sandbag workout got me thinking about waste

I've seen more folks create their own workout gear with things they already own. For example, my neighbor filled old duffel bags with sand for weight training. It saves cash and stops the need to buy new plastic equipment. Others use water bottles as dumbbells or backpacks filled with books for squats. This trend cuts down on clutter and landfill waste. Also, it lets people work out without fancy gear. It's a small step, but if more join in, the environmental effect grows.

Kevin's right, garage gyms don't need all new stuff.

My garage gym used to be full of new gear, but this makes sense now.
