This is a great reviews list of popular rebounders (fitness trampolines). It offers a helpful guide on what to look for--foldable is nice when you need a small footprint!
Jump-Start Your Fitness Routine With These Editor-Tested Trampolines & Rebounders
I love my rebounder, I like to play easy videogames while I'm bouncing to prevent boredom. Cardio isn't always the most mentally engaging activity! But it is super important, so this helps me get it done.

Resistance bands are a great way to increase your strength training without a lot of bulky equipment. These are the loop style, which can be preferable to straps or tube-style, depending on what you like.
THERABAND Resistance Bands Set - Beginner
Tube style resistance bands are my personal go-to, but that might be because they're what I started with. This is a great set that gives you different levels to work with. Great for mixing it up between larger and smaller muscle groups.
VEICK Resistance Bands with Handles for Fitness
This strap-style set gives you a ton of options for incorporating more strength and resistance training into your workouts, and it doesn't require having a ton of bulky equipment all over the house. Win!

Balance boards are great for working on balance, agility, core strength, and even cardio when you can incorporate twisting, like with this board. I like to twist while I'm watching Bravo to give me something to do (other than scroll while I watch).

I'm a big fan of side-to-side and twist movements for core exercise, so ski machines are a personal fave of mine. This option is absolutely compact, with an incredibly small footprint.

There really is no easier way to get more impact from your workout than to incorporate a vibration plate. Plus, they help make recovery a little less unenjoyable! This is a higher-end option, but I use mine ALL the time, and I absolutely love it. The...

Here's a more budget-conscious vibration plate option. I love and trust Lifepro when it comes to power plates, they are one of my favorite pieces of equipment.
