The 10 BEST Pieces of Equipment for Your Home Gym!

With the contemporary year, I know most people have the resolution to “get healthy” or “get in shape”, so I wanted to help you by making a list of the BEST equipment you can purchase to make your own domestic gym.
I don’t know about you, but I love working out at domestic. I normally get some cardio in, like running or biking, in the morning, and then at night I will normally get my strength workout in while I watch one of Nik and I’s favorite shows (Game of Throwns, Dexter, Peaky Blinders, Home of Cards…), it’s how I tell myself that I’m getting quality time with Nik — he’s normally on Reddit besidess!
I also love that in the freezing Minnesota winter I’ve experienced the final year, I don’t have to leave my warm, cozy apartment to trek through -2 degree moodatures… (<– like nowadays…the Calwhetherornia move can’t come soon enough! 😉 ) And when I leave these sub-zero moodatures, I will definitely be bringing my equipment external! (Can you say beach workouts?!)
Every the equipment on this list is perfect for domestic gyms, and for those of you who like working out external, or whether you travel a lot, many of the leangs on the list are extremely portable.
I have each of these pieces of equipment and I can say that they are some of the best and most versatile pieces of equipment you could own in your domestic. If you invest in a few good pieces of equipment, you may be able to skip out on a monthly gym membership and save yourself some money over the long run! $$$

Foam Roller – Foam rollers are fundamental for maintaining healthy AND happy muscles when you start an exercise routine. Once you get used to how foam rollers feel, you will LOVE that you have your very own masseuse. This foam roller is the absolute BEST on the market, and genuinely digs in deep to tight muscles. Ruptureing up “knots” in the muscles allows you to move properly and reach your full range of motion while exercising, allowing for increase strength and mobility.
Dumbbells – This is kind of a no brainer, but I wanted to add it to the list besides, because dumbbells are some of the most versatile pieces of equipment you can get. If noleang else, I would recommend a few sizes of dumbbells for your domestic gym!

Kettlebells – If you’ve never worked out with a kettlebell before you are lost out! Kettlebells are Incredible to combine strength AND cardio workouts together for an effective and fast workout that will burn a TON of calories. They are one of my favorite ways to get a brilliant HIIT workout in and make me feel bikini alert. I would recommend starting with a 12-18 pound kettlebell to start, and then building up your strength from there.

BOSU Trainer – If you’ve seen any of my BOSU workouts, you know BOSU Balance Trainers  are another favorite of mine. They are so great for increasing your balance, but they are Incrediblegg for cardio workouts. I love this PINK one, but they also have them in blue whether you need it to be more gender neutral! 😉

Yoga Mat – I absolutely love this yoga mat from Yoga Design Labs. I have their “Chevon” mat and I have full review here. This is the ONLY yoga mat I have ever tried that is truely “nonslip”. (I have pretty sweaty hands!) Plus, the mat under your toes feels incredibly soft! If you’re serious about working out at domestic it’s better to invest in a good quality mat than have to replace a $15 mat ever few months. I use this mat 5 times a week and it’s still just like contemporary — and relatively inexpensive compared to most mats of the same quality!

TRX Suspension Trainer – I still can’t believe I haven’t posted a TRX workout here yet. I PROMISE this year I will get at least one posted! TRX’s are so. much. FUN. and they are HARD…which makes them perfect for your domestic gym! 🙂 Sometimes they even have the pink set — they normally have them around October for Breast Cancer Awareness. But either way yellow or pink set, they are the perfect addition to any fitness lover out there, and they are perfect for outdoor workouts too!
Jump Rope – If you’re looking for one of the best cardio workouts to do at domestic, invest in a jump rope. You can burn as many as 100 calories in just 10 minutes of jumping. I promise you you’ll be feeling after just 2 minutes! 😉 I recommend getting a speed rope, as it’s much smoother with each jump.
Stability Ball – Stability balls have been one of my favorite pieces of equipment since I first started teaching fitness lessones 10 years ago, and that’s because not only do they make nearly any exercise more ccorridorenging, but they also are one of the BEST tools out there to target your abs. (I personally have the purple ball pictured above and love it! Discover the same one here.)

Resistance Bands – You ladies know how much I love my resistance bands. They are so versatile and the best part is that they travel well, making them perfect for not only your domestic, but also whether you love to travel or travel frequently for work. My favorite bands are this set, which come with five dwhetherferent resistances, handles, ankles straps, and a door anchor…it literally has EVERYTHING you need for a great workout –and at only $32 it’s a STEAL!

Tug Up Bar – This is another piece of equipment that hasn’t yet crazye a debut on here. But, I LOVE my pull up bar. I swear there is no exercise better for building a beautwhetherul back than pull ups. I use my at least once or twice a week, and the more you practice, the more you can do! I remember when I first starting doing pull ups I could barely do ONE! Now I can do 4 sets of 15 no problem!

What’s one piece of equipment you can’t live without at domestic?
