It's easy to create a little workout area at home, just make sure you have the right equipment. Here’s our guide as to what you need and why.

1. Exercise mat

A mat is essential for comfort during your home workouts as it will give you extra padding between the floor and your body. Even more important for those who have knees, hips, and wrists that are sensitive to hard floors, surfaces, and heavy loads. The difference between yoga mats and exercise mats is the thickness and firmness of the material. Exercise mats are thicker.

2. Foam roller

These lightweight, cylindrical tubes of compressed foam can be used for many reasons including increasing flexibility, reducing soreness, and eliminating muscle knots. Foam rolling is a method of self-myofascial release technique that can help to relieve muscle tightness, soreness, and inflammation and increase joint range of motion. A great tool to have on hand for your warm-up or cool-down before and after exercise.

3. Flex band

These flexible plastic bands are used to build strength as each band exerts a particular amount of force on your muscles when stretched, and can be used in both upper and lower body training. They improve mobility and are a great way to improve your flexibility and joint mobility.

4. Resistance cord

These cords increase the range of motion and movement such as increasing jumping high. The band works by making the body work harder on areas where the bands are attached and by making more tears for the body to repair and build muscle.

5. Balance board

This board, sometimes known as a wobble board is a fitness tool that you can stand on while performing exercises to help improve balance and posture, aid in rehabilitation, prevent lower body injuries, and increase core strength. When you stand on the board, bend your knees and get right in the centre of the board. Slowly lower yourself down and slightly back up in a squat-type movement. This will strengthen your leg muscles.

6. Ab Roller

These help to build a strong core, lats, and triceps. The ab roller is a simple device with two handles connecting the wheel and is an advanced training tool that can also build strong triceps, lats, and core. You simply hold handles on either side while on your knees and roll them back and forwards.

7. Chin up bar

The pull-up bar is a bar to assist the workout for upper body strength and endurance which helps to strengthen and develop your shoulders, back, and arms. The chin-up bar can be fixed horizontally at a height so that the feet are not touching the floor. The movement begins with the arms extended above the head, gripping a hold. The body is pulled up with the bar approaching or touching the upper chest.

8. Jump rope

The perfect tool for your at-home cardio routine as they can maximise your workout even if you only have a few minutes. These ropes will strengthen the muscles surrounding your ankle joints, quadriceps, core, and more.

9. Dumbbells

These free weights build resistance when training. They can be used in numerous exercises to activate several different muscles which help to improve both muscle force and flexibility. They also promote coordination and stability for muscles and joints so great to have on hand to support any workout.
