At home, workouts are a productive and healthy way to occupy your time in this quarantine. You can cure your boredom and get yourself fit and healthy in the process, what’s not to like? You may be wondering which equipment would be best to use, so we’ll cover the best home workout equipment to get you going.
Yoga Mat
A yoga mat is a thick piece of fabric you place on your floor. The mat will give you a softer surface to exercise on and help prevent aches and pains, especially in your back whilst doing exercises that involve lying down.
This is a great piece of equipment to have for home workouts as it’s not limited to yoga use, you can use it as a softer surface for all your workouts. It’s also an effective way to protect the floor in your house from dents if you often use heavyweights in your workout routine.
Foam Roller
Foam rollers help relieve muscle tightness and soreness, as well as increase your range of motion. Warm-ups and cool-downs are as important to have in your workout routine as the main workout. Whilst working out is great for your health and muscles, you still have to make sure they get a rest and you look after your body well.
The foam roller should be considered an essential piece of equipment if you workout often, especially with weight training. There are so many benefits to owning and using a foam roller, they can effectively ease pain in your muscles, increase the range of motion, relieve back pain and help you relax. They are perfectly safe to use and would be a highly beneficial addition to your home exercise equipment collection.
Resistance Bands
Resistance bands are small looped bands made of durable and stretchy materials that give you resistance or your muscles to work against and are an excellent piece of home workout equipment. With so many various ways of using the band, we think they are the perfect way to get you started on your fitness journey or add a level of intensity, challenge and fun to your workouts.
Resistance bands are perfect to do at home workouts, they’re simple to use, easy to carry with you and small and light so you can store them away easily and without taking space up in your home.
Making sure you have the best home workout equipment to get you through isolation is so important right now. You might already have these items lying around at home, you might be able to use a can of beans as a 'roller' (be careful!) but our resistance bands can help you continue your health journey with workouts at home.
