4 Pieces of Exercise Equipment You Need

To get the most out of your home workout, there are a few things you’ll need to have on hand. Make sure you have the following 4 pieces of exercise equipment for a great home workout:

1. Stability Ball: The stability ball is an essential piece of equipment that provides a level of controlled instability – ensuring that we’re stabilizing and strengthening our core throughout all movements. It’s like a bouncy castle for your core! We’ll use the ball for core work, as well as exercises requiring a bench, or seat. Plus, it’s so much fun to bounce around on it!
2. Foam Roller: After a hard workout, you want nothing more than to relax and unwind. But sometimes, your muscles have other plans. That’s where the foam roller comes in. Foam rolling, or self-myofascial release (SMR), will improve muscle imbalances, increase joint range of motion (ROM), and help correct compensatory movement patterns. SMR will be incorporated at the beginning of the routine as part of the warm-up, at the end of the workout as part of the cooldown, or both! A high-density foam roller is recommended for this program. So, roll out those muscles and feel the tension melt away!
3. Dumbbells: You’ll need a nice set of dumbbells for most of the resistance exercises. While body weight is a viable alternative, once you reach a certain level of strength, you’ll want to increase the load placed upon the body for maximal results. You have many options for dumbbells; coated, non-coated, and adjustable dumbbells. In terms of space-saving, and scalability, the adjustable weights are best. With dumbbells, you can pretend that you’re lifting weights like a pro wrestler, and feel pretty good about yourself!
4. Exercise Mat: You’ll need a nice, comfortable exercise mat for your workouts. One that’s large enough for you to perform floor exercises on, and that’s durable enough to withstand some seriously hard work. It’s like a cozy little nest that you can use to perform floor exercises on, and it’s durable enough to withstand some seriously hard work. Plus, it’s a great place to take a nap when you’re done with your workout.
