One of my biggest concerns when I first began working out was the equipment. What kind did I need? And how do I use it? Will I really get my money’s worth after purchasing it? After weighing my options between or using a public gym I took the equipment dive and decided on getting a few of the smaller and less expensive items. This list is comprised of the items I started my exercise journey with and most of them fit nicely into my foldable ottoman.

Resistance Loops

I love resistance loops because they are versatile and can be used on different parts of the body at different intervals in your workout. With a set that has increasing levels of resistance you have more control over how hard you work a specific section, plus it’s fun to switch up your challenge points.

Grip Strengtheners

Getting a stronger grip can help during your workouts by making it easier to hold more weight. By strengthening your grip, you can lift heavier weights, open tricky jars and play piano for longer, if that’s your jam. The ability to carry more bags of groceries in from the car at a time is an added plus.

Vinyl Coated CAP Kettlebell

Sumo squats and kettlebell curls are pretty fun once you get the hang of it and there’s a ton of other workouts that you can do with a kettlebell. After you’ve mastered one, you can utilize two for added strength and stability.

High Density Pilates Foam Roller

This comes in handy when you want to really stretch out a certain spot on your body, either before or after a workout. Just don’t get too comfortable and focused on the rolling and forget that there’s calories to burn.

Pilates Core Ball

I was skeptical at first, but after I ordered a core ball and started using it, I was impressed by the additional amount of challenge it brought to my routine.

Thick Yoga Mat With Carry Sling

To say a yoga mat improved my interest in working out regularly is an understatement. It is so much easier to stay focused and energized during a workout session when you’re comfortable enough to stay on the floor. I prefer the carry sling accessory with any mat for easier storage.

Neoprene Dumbbell Set

So when you start lifting, it’s great to start small and build up your confidence and skill set. Dumbbells are nice to have around for bicep curls, lunges, presses and crunches.
