With all the apps and videos available on demand right now [1], there's really no excuse not to work out, even if you only have 20 minutes to spare. We love home workouts because we can still move our bodies on even the busiest days, and that gives us such peace of mind. However, if you're going to work out, you should be prepared. I know I've used water (OK, wine) bottles as weights before, and it's not as enjoyable as the real thing. These 14 pieces of home gym equipment are easily storable and also under $100.
From a Pilates ring to gliders and ankle weights, these items will make sure you're always ready to get a good workout in. No matter if you're a beginner or more advanced, you'll be able to really utilise this equipment. Now, your only decision should be which workout to do.
