Foldable workout machines
I've had this bike (previous version) since the pandemic, used regularly without any issues! Plenty of resistance and you can fold it to save space when not in use!
YYFITT: Exercise Bike - Amazon.com
If you are like me and prefer to stay indoors when the weather is bad this is a great way to still hit your daily steps while staying cozy! I chose this one as it has incline and it gets completely flat so I store it upright saving a lot of space!
Cardirun Foldable Treadmill with Incline
Fully foldable!! bench press. There is not a muscle in the body you can't train with this and a pair of dumbells(not included but it does come with resistance bands). Sturdy and highly adjustable, I can't recommend it enough!
JOROTO: Weight Bench - Amazon.com
Weights
Ankle weights can easily turn a quick pilates workout into some serious work!
Ankle Weights For Women - Amazon.com
Great quality dumbell that don't take much space!
Adjustable Dumbbell Set - Merach
Resistance bands
Resistance bands are a great way to add intensity to your workouts! These are high quality, non-slip and very durable!
CFX Resistance Bands Strength Training
Long loop resistance bands are another must have for home workouts with their great versatility and convenience! I recommend to go for fabric bands which are much softer and safer!
Yoga Studio Long Loop Fabric Resistance Bands Set of 3
Yoga & recovery
A good quality budget-friendly yoga mat, with non-slip surface and I find the alignment lines quite helpful for my yoga practice!
Yogii Yoga Mat for Home & Gym Fitness
Must have, really helpful to get correct alignment in every pose and the yoga strap is great for stretching!
Yoga Blocks And Straps - Amazon.com
It takes some getting used to but foam rolling is amazing for releasing muscles! I love this set, especially the massage ball which is great to use against a wall for these smaller muscles on the upper back and neck!
Elvire Sport - Amazon.com
A great way to relax the deep tissue and manage pain!
