You can only workout in the gym- said no one ever.  You can get a total body effective workout done at home without using machines. You just need a free space and few workout items along with good music and you’re good to go. Here are a few things that you should buy to ensure a successful workout session:  

 1) Yoga mat 

It is very uncomfortable to use the floor for workouts like crunches or sit ups. A yoga mat gives you the necessary balance in yoga and protects hips and tailbones in Pilates. The extra padding protects your knees, elbows, tailbones and hipbones while doing floor work. 

 

2) Dumbbells 

Dumbbells are versatile, inexpensive and easy to use weights. You can do a variety of workouts to build your muscles, burn calories, improve your cardiovascular fitness or increase muscular endurance for sports.

3) Jump rope 

Jump rope is great for all kinds of fitness and ability levels. It fits in with all training levels whether its endurance, fat loss, strength or performance. You just need extra space and you can skip anywhere and anytime. You can purchase weighted jump ropes and take the old school jumping to a next level by adding a little resistance and get your heart rate pumping in half the time. 

 

4) Medicine ball 

Medicine ball workouts help you tone your muscles, increase your strength, balance, coordination, endurance and promote explosive power. Medicine balls are inexpensive and can be used anywhere, indoors or outdoors.  

 

5) kettle bell 

Kettle bells are great conditioning tools for developing cardio respiratory and muscular endurance. They improve muscle tone, body composition and strength. They also strengthen the ligaments and tendons making the joints tougher. 

 

6) Resistance bands 

Resistance bands are lightweight and easily portable. They are inexpensive, can be used anywhere and are perfect for working out when you’re travelling. They allow you to do strengthening exercises without using weights. Resistance bands can be used for a comprehensive, full body workout that challenges every major muscle group in the body.
