I've never considered myself an avid workout person, but the last couple years, I've gotten a lot more into my fitness routine. I started by attending various gyms, but I always found them too expensive or far away from my house. Then I switched my focus to classes, which I still absolutely love, but they can be expensive when going several days a week. I finally decided to cancel my gym membership once and for all and work out at home [1] instead. I love learning new things in classes and with instructors, then trying them on my own later.
The key to getting the right workout, though, involves a couple products. I invested in a few things, like a comfortable workout mat and even a stationary bike, but the amount of money it's saved me in the long run has been worth every penny. So if you're also trying to exercise more at home [2], I've shared a couple of my favourite items ahead that can help you, too. Keep reading to shop them all and see which ones fit your routine.
Sunny Health & Fitness Indoor Cycling Exercise Bike
One of my favourite products I use is this Sunny Health & Fitness Indoor Cycling Exercise Bike [4] ($239). The wheels make it easy to move around as you need, so I often roll it in the living room and do a workout video with it.
ProsourceFit Core Sliders Exercise Sliding Discs
These ProsourceFit Core Sliders Exercise Sliding Discs [5] ($25) are great for core and leg floor exercises.
Zimtown Foldable Exercise Mat
Sometimes my boyfriend and I work out together, so we wanted a larger mat, but something we could put away when we're done, and this Zimtown Foldable Exercise Mat [6] ($55) fits the bill.
BalanceFrom GoFit Fully Adjustable Weights
I like to add a little extra weight during stretches or floor exercises with these BalanceFrom GoFit Fully Adjustable Weights [7] ($10-$26). They work on your arms, legs, and wrists.
3-Piece Kettleball Weight Set
I love having this 3-Piece Kettleball Weight Set [8] ($38) because I like to use different weight sizes for different types of workouts.
Gold's Gym Mini Stepper With Monitor
For the days I feel like skipping the bike, I like to use this Gold's Gym Mini Stepper With Monitor [9] ($45). Its small size is easy to store away when I'm not using it.
Yoassi Set of 5 Resistance Bands
This Yoassi Set of 5 Resistance Bands [10] ($11-$15) is great for at-home Pilates, yoga, or strength-training sessions.
TriggerPoint Grid Foam Roller
After workouts, I love giving my muscles a break with this TriggerPoint Grid Foam Roller [11] ($35).
