MUST HAVE AT HOME WORKOUT TOOLS

The pandemic taught us a lot about ourselves, others, and our country (for those of us who live in the U.S., whew!).

We learned that we could overcome, how we could better take care of ourselves, that work/life balance is possible, how much we love our families and that obtaining our health and wellness goals can be done no matter what.

One of the questions I got the most was “what equipment should I buy now that the gyms are closed?”. It’s still a question people have as even though gyms are back open, not everyone feels safe enough or even wants to return to one.

So, should you be one of those people, here are 3 at home workout tools I think everyone should have.

Medicine Ball

Medicine balls can be used in a lot of different ways ranging from strength to sports specific moves. They are also less intimidating and can be used to incorporate fun moves with both solo and partner workouts.

Dumbbells

Easily the most common fitness tool you’ll find and the sizes start as small as 1lb and, from what I’ve seen, can go as high as 110lbs. They are great for strength training and can be used for 99% of all exercise moves.

Bands

Bands are not only versatile but work your muscles with different resistances. This can be great for anyone building their strength, recovering from an injury or on a low intensity or rest day where you don’t want to do too much but still want to get a nice pump session in.

If nothing else, your own bodyweight will work fine. You’d be surprised how great of a workout you can get in with just your body so don’t underestimate it!
