A newer find for me, but she posts a lot of Taylor Swift themed workouts that are just perfect.
Audrey Koomar - Home Workouts
Lauren Gleisberg is a super knowledgable force in the fitness industry! While I have a lot of her paid plans (which are all super reasonable), she offers a ton of free workouts on her instagram and newsletters.

I used to buy the super inexpensive mats at TJMaxx or Marshalls. However, since testing out my husbands 1 inch thick exercise mat, I will never go back! It's worth the few extra bucks because it's so much more comfortable and will last forever.
Retrospec Solana 1" Thick Yoga Mat w/ Strap
It's insane how many workouts you can do with just one of these inexpensive bands. I love how small they are too. I even keep one in my desk drawer at work for when I'm really motivated! I use it for both lower and upper body workouts.
Resistance Bands for Workout, Yoga & Pilates

ZELUS Weighted Vest 6-30lb with Reflective Stripe
While not a necessity, a fitness watch can be helpful if you are a data driven person! This one is affordable and gets great reviews.
Amazfit Band 7 Fitness Tracker, Alexa, Black
A foam roller is a great add on for recovery! It hurts so good. I highly recommend finding a youtube video on the body part you want to focus on and follow along.
Gaiam Restore Compact Textured Foam Roller 12"
This is another one of those items that is just so affordable, but so effective. There are tons of videos out there using just these bands and they are also super easy to travel with.
Resistance Bands with Handles for Workouts
Popsugar Fitness has a workout for literally everything and everyone. They have been posting free workout contents for years so you can definitely find a fun workout here.
PS Fit
A super under-estimated and affordable tool for a an at home gym. Helps to elevate different workouts and is smaller and more compact than a box.
