17 Products to Help You Work Out at Home

Say that five times fast. You may not have enough space for both pieces of equipment. No biggie. This grip locks onto dumbbells so that you can grip them in the same way you’d grip a kettlebell. Psst...it works best on dumbbells under 55 pounds. ($34.95, Amazon)

It’ll keep your essentials safe (like keys and phone) while you explore the neighborhood. And TBH, you don’t realize how annoying it is to hold your phone throughout your run until both hands are free. ($10.99+, Amazon)

Unlike rubber bands, these will stay in place. So while you’re attempting a crab walk across your apartment, the band won’t bunch or ride up your thighs. Phew. ($14.99/set of 3, LaBendHome via Etsy)

These can go from 5 pounds to 25 pounds with the push of a button. So you won’t need to collect an entire set that requires a stand. Aka, they’re ideal for those living in small spaces who still wanna lift. ($199.99+, Amazon)

Just because you’re typing away at a computer doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice your daily movement. This one will keep your legs going as you take calls or jump into a Zoom meeting. Just don’t forget to mute if you’re out of breath. ($199, Cubii)

It can be used for ab routines, or upper + lower body exercises. To up weight, add an iron plate to the bell. It’ll max out at 40 pounds and it has a locking feature so none of the plates move around while you’re in motion. ($89.97, Titan Fitness)

The phone mount goes directly onto your cell's case. The larger magnetic plate can be slipped into the side of leggings (or really any clothing). Now you don’t have to place your phone down if you don’t have pockets. The magnetic bond is even strong enough to hold larger devices (like iPads). And with two free hands, you can do a full set of reps without worrying about your device. ($42, EZ Reach Apparel)

Turn the dial up a notch. We’re talking mountain climbers, pushups, and lunges. With the sliders, you’ll be challenged to keep yourself stable and engage your core. And yes, they’ll move easily across carpets, tile, and wood floors. ($7.99, Target)

Each weight goes up to 5 pounds. So to lighten, you just have to remove the tiny sand pockets from their pouches. Each weight has velcro straps to secure around your ankles before you start working out. ($23.99+, Amazon)

Don’t be fooled: foam rolling can be painful for newcomers. Especially if your muscles are tight. But regularly doing it after you work out can greatly help with muscle recovery, increase circulation, and increase flexibility. This one is unique in that it can collapse down when not in use. Easy peasy storage. ($69.95, Brazyn Life)

Because sometimes coming up with your own routines is a bit overwhelming. And sometimes you need something pushing you to stay dedicated. We get it. This app allows you to choose the length of your workout and the type - from yoga to cardio to strength training. You can customize and save workouts, too. Just in case you wanna return later. (Free to download from the App Store)

It can be used by those of all fitness levels and can provide a total body workout in as little as 15 minutes. The idea is based on body weight. So you won’t need extra dumbbells or heavy equipment. And it can be set up indoors or outdoors, depending on what space you’ve transformed into a home gym. ($99.99, Dick’s Sporting Goods)

A little guidance can go a long way. And this mat can sub in as a teacher for those who need it. Working out from home doesn’t mean you have to wing it. ($41.25, Society6)

The temps are dropping (in most places). And that means your morning walk will be a bit chilly. These leggings are dual-layer with a brushed inside and quick-drying outside. They’ve also got a pocket in the back and have a high-rise waist for full support. You = covered. ($55, Under Armour)

There really is something about tracking our daily steps that motivates us to never skip a chance to go on a walk. This device will also track your heart rate, sleep, and stress levels, plus it’ll let you know when you need a rest day (yes, please). Think of it as your new workout buddy. ($129.95, Amazon)

Your mom was doing aerobics all those years ago for a reason. This step platform adjusts to either a 4-inch or 6-inch height, and even we can admit, it’ll really help you work up a sweat. While you’re using it, the textured grip surface will keep you from any unwanted tumbles. Novices welcome. ($19.99, Amazon)

If you’ve ever been working out so hard that you accidentally hit yourself with a metal dumbbell (speaking from experience, obviously), it’s not pleasant and can bring your workout to a full stop. These 3-pound bars are wrapped in soft, grippable silicone to prevent any injuries and are downright pretty. Plus, they come with a carrying case perfect for on-the-go use. We’re pumped. ($59, Free People)
