Yoga doesn't require equipment. Yes, I know that yoga is not
weight training, but it works your muscles much harder that you
might think.
These might help you too- Water-filled weights: Aquabells

My comments --
Positive: they work as advertised- durable and light travel weights
Other: What they don't have in weight -- they are essentially pieces
of plastic to fill with water and the bars for the handweights are
more light pieces of plastic -- they make up in bulk, unfortunately.
I think that a little too much room is filled with these in a
regular suitcase, but you might be willing to live with that, for
the advantage of saving on weight. Also, if you fill the ankle
weights to the advertised fullness/weight with water- there is no
way to fit them around your ankles because the velcro strap is not
long enough, so therefore, let some of the water out.
This is what I know because I have them for travel, and especially
for this time that I've been living out of my three suitcases the
last 4 months. Buy them through the mail in the U.S., if you can,
because it will be cheaper. I bought them through the mail in
Germany, and paid once again the full price for shipping and
customs charges, so they were an expensive purchase for me.
