With just a few inexpensive and useful products, you can turn your living room or spare bedroom into your very own home gym. Plus, there are a ton of online exercise videos and fitness apps out there, which can help keep your workouts fun and exciting.
These 14 items are all made to help you improve your fitness , and they're wallet-friendly! In fact, they're all under $60. No time like the present to start getting fit!
1. Neoprene Hand-Weights
Some of the best workout products to buy are simple dumbbells. Weights like these are versatile and can be used to strengthen a number of different muscles. Start off with a set of light weights, then buy some heavier ones as you get stronger.
2. Fila Sport Fitness Mat
Another key home workout product is a fitness mat. Mats like these are similar to yoga mats, but they're typically a little bit thicker. Looking for some good workouts to do on a mat like this? Search for some online Pilates classes!
3. Resistance Toning Bands
Want to tone your legs and boost your butt? Get some simple resistance bands! Like weights, these are super versatile. And the best part is that these take up hardly any room at all, so if you don't have space for more extensive workout equipment, these are a perfect solution.
4. 3-in-1 Kettlebell
Other great at-home workout products are kettlebells. This one is ideal for keeping at home because it's three weights in one, making it a space-saving multiuse fitness tool.
5. Fitness Circle Toning Rings
If you enjoy yoga and Pilates-like workouts, these fitness toning rings are perfect for upping your game. Again, they don't take up much space, and they can bring your workouts to a new level.
6. Mini Pedal Exercise Cycle
One of the most difficult things to do at home is getting a good cardio workout. Unless you have a treadmill or exercise bike, you're basically stuck running in place or doing jumping jacks. This exercise cycle will bring some variety to your cardio workouts and can fit under your desk, in front of your couch, or at your dining room table.
7. iTouch Slim Fitness Tracker With Interchangeable Bands
Working out is great, but it's even better when you can track your progress. Using a fitness tracker can help keep you motivated and push you to exercise even when you don't feel like it.
8. Gaiam 65cm Textured Balance Ball Kit
If you really want to improve your core strength, you should buy yourself a stability ball. Not only can you use it to exercise, you can also use it in place of a desk chair to help you work your core all day long.
9. Nike 4-Piece Training Kit
One of the best ways to improve your strength is with resistance bands. This kit comes with one of those, a jump rope, a resistance circle, and a mesh bag.
10. Segmented Jump Rope
Many people write off jumping rope as a children's activity, but using a jump rope to exercise can improve your cardio. (Plus, it'll make you feel like a kid again.)
11. Ignite by SPRI Adjustable Hand Grip Trainer
If you ever notice your hands getting tired after writing a handwritten note, it might be because your hand is more used to using a computer than doing old-fashioned handwriting. Strengthen your hand with a grip strengthener like this one!
12. Perfect Fitness Ab Carver
To really challenge yourself, try using an ab wheel like this one. It's double-wide construction ensures stability while working on your abs of steel!
13. Wooden Balance Board
Most people don't think much about balance, but it actually requires a lot of tiny muscle movements. Using a balance board like this one will help you work out all those small muscles!
14. Electronic Stepper With Accessories
If you want a single all-in-one workout device, get yourself an electronic stepper! This one comes complete with a variety of accessories, like resistance bands and handles.
