Many of us are working out more at home now than ever before: as we become accustomed to spending more of our days within the confines of our humble abodes, it makes sense that our gym routines would follow [1]. Now that you have all your home equipment [2] at the ready, including weights, resistance bands, and yoga mats, you might have realised how quickly it all can turn to a messy jumble.
