Sometimes we don’t want to go to the gym. Let’s be honest here, most of us would rather stay at home in our comfy clothes and kick back to some Netflix. What if I told you that you can even exercise in your Pj’s AND binge watch your favorite show? I bet you would be all in! Last year I started accumulating random and cheap, exercise equipment for my home. Now I do have a small house so a lot of these items are space saving options as well.

Bosu Ball

This half ball shaped miracle worker provides a killer workout. There are so many ways to use it, it’s unbelievable. Balance on it, stretch on it, add support for your back when doing floor crunches, the list goes on! I snagged one from Goodwill a few months back for $9, it was a steal.

Free Weights/Kettle Bells

Grab a set of free weights, sit on a chair in your home and do a simple arm workout routine daily. YouTube is LOADED with all types of great video tutorials on how to get started. I love using kettle bells for legs, abs and booty movements! My husband prefers kettle bells over free weights for him arms and shoulders. I have even found free weights at thrift stores and garage sales so always keep a look out for gym equipment while out. With a little bit of imagination or help from an online source you can definitely get a good sweat in, all in the comfort for your own home!

Thick Yoga Mat

This is a lifesaver or should I say back-saver if you have hard wood floors in your home like I do. A soft mat will aid in extra support for your joints, knees and any other impact areas you may have a weakness in, for me, it is my wrists. Yoga on one of these babies is so relaxing!

The Step

My best friend found one of these these gems at a local Goodwill! Eli, my son, LOVES to do some steps with me! We laugh the whole way through and just have a good time, It makes me feel good, encouraging him to be more active and have fun while doing it! Are you ready to pour sweat from every inch of your body? Then hop on and off The Step!

A Stepper

A mini elliptical right in your home! Most have step counters on them, and even handles, grips or a stand for balance. I opt out of using anything for balance to challenge my legs and abs to do all the hard work, this will increase your heart rate and keep you on your toes! This mini stepper is great for small bedrooms and living room’s. Binge watch your next show while using this little guy!

If your a busy parent, student or just someone trying to get in more exercise, these small and affordable items will get you there! What do you currently have at home? What equipment is on your wish list?
