Being dedicated to fitness takes hard work, commitment and good time management skills. Of course, there will occasionally be days when it’s impossible to get to the gym, so it helps to have a dedicated space in your home for gym and exercise equipment. That way, you can sneak in a quick sweat session during your lunch break or late in the evening, because every little bit of movement counts. Here, we’ll look at some of the best home exercise equipment you can have on hand whether you’re looking to get your heart rate up or tone your muscles.
The Avid Runner
Even though the outdoors is always calling, there are going to be days when the weather doesn’t line up with your run schedule. Take a look at treadmills that will help you log those extra miles from the comfort of your home. It’s also a great opportunity to use this as a cross-training day by hopping on an elliptical, exercise bike or rowing machine because all great runners know that balance is important for staving off burnout.
The HIIT Fanatic
You might not be able to make the 9:00 am Bootcamp class every day, but with the right exercise gear, you can totally crush that HIIT workout from home. For those high-intensity workouts, you’ll want to stock up on everything from dumbbells and kettlebells of varying weights to resistance bands, stability balls and even a jump rope. Level up your training equipment selection with a pull-up bar you can mount to your wall.
The Yoga Goddess
If toning your muscles, embracing mindfulness and increasing flexibility is more your thing, then you’ll want to make sure you have the right home goods to optimize your yoga or Pilates sessions. Choosing a bright and airy room in your house is the first step, and then it’s all about making sure you have the right gear to help you hold every pose. A proper yoga mat is absolutely essential, but once you graduate from beginner to intermediate then you’ll want to start adding some extras like yoga blocks and bands to help you get an even deeper stretch.
No matter what type of workout you’re into, stretching and body maintenance is key. A foam roller or massage gun can help you work out all the kinks in between sessions for optimal performance.
