Working out at home is not as exciting as working out at the gym, however, some prefer the privacy and others do it for time restriction reasons. You may not be able to bring all the equipment to the comfort of your own home but a few tools and multifunctional gadgets are always helpful. These diverse gadgets will add to your workout experience and in fact, add more intensity. We highly recommend utilizing other household furniture items to make working out at home ore interesting and a little more challenging.
Easy Equipment To Add To Your Home Workouts
Resistance Bands
There are tons of resistance bands available on the market and for all different uses and exercises. We highly recommend thigh-targeting resistance bands also known as booty bands. These will engage and activate glutes, quads and in some exercises even abs. They come in a variety of strengths which can be used as you progress, yes, but also for different exercises and areas. Longer resistance bands are great for additional support and stretches but when very thick can be used as weight substitutes. The longer bands are great to use if you are trying to strengthen the upper body in order to be able to do push-ups or pull-ups.
Skipping Rope
Skipping ropes are a great source of cardio, they are fun and challenging. This is a diverse tool that can be used anywhere. It is important to get the heart rate up and incorporate that cardio even whilst at home. This is the perfect way. Once you become a professional you will be doing those tricks and switches in no time. For those with kids, this is a great way to get them involved and active.
Ankle Weights
Ankle weights are a great addition to your at-home leg workout and can be utilized whilst doing cardio too. The weight will need to be adjusted after a while however, we highly recommend them. They are particularly great for floor-work such as donkey kicks and other glute squashing moves. Feel free to leave them on for your whole session if you can handle that extra push.
