Exercising is not only good for the body but also an excellent way to improve mental resilience, mood and fosters an overall sense of wellbeing. But when stuck at home, the easy excuse of not having the right equipment can make you forget your fitness goals. The best solution for this is to set up a home gym. Whether you want to get a treadmill and stop with that or look into weights or invest in a suspension kit, here is the guide to the best home gym equipment.

Sunny Health & Fitness – Indoor Cycle Bike
The first piece of fitness gear you should get for your home gym is an indoor bike. It works out almost all the major muscle groups, and what’s more, you can feel like you are going places! Sunny’s, in particular, is an excellent choice as it has good resistance and offers a practical yet quiet indoor cycle bike at an affordable price. The primary disadvantage is that though adjustable to four positions, it is not the most comfortable if you have short stature. Assembling it is simple, and the bike is sturdy. It is an excellent starting point for beginners who do not want to splurge on home gym equipment.

Gaiam Premium 2-colour Yoga Mat
Another good, essential piece of equipment to have is a yoga mat. From yoga to pilates to stretches, you can do almost all workouts on this mat. One of the best yoga mats in the market is from Gaiam. It is affordable and comes with a lifetime guarantee. It is hard to carry around because the product does not come with a strap, but you can always purchase a belt or a bag separately online. It is 6-mm thick, has a PVC surface, and is a perfect balance between cushioning and non-slip. The double-tone lets you choose a mat that suits your mood. It can be cleaned and does not flake easily.

TRX Go All-in-One Suspension Training
Suspension training will not be a new word for those who are a little advanced in their fitness journey. But for others, suspension training uses equipment to leverage gravity and use one’s body weight in different ways to develop strength, balance, flexibility, and core stability. There are numerous exercises you can perform, and most of them aim to support rehabilitation and prevent further injury. TRX GO All-in-One Suspension Training is the perfect set to use at home or on the go. It anchors to any door, is lightweight, and is easy to transport. What’s best is that it is a single piece that acts as an all-around workout companion.

Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells
Another must-have piece of home gym equipment is dumbbells. Apart from cardio and mobility training, if you want to put on muscle, you need weights. Bowflex is one of the most well-known names in home gym equipment. The dial system that the SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells come with enables you to combine 15 sets of weights into one. You can adjust the dumbbells between 5 to 52.5 pounds with 2.5-pound increments. You can seamlessly shift the weights from exercise to exercise. The sleek design, compact nature of the sets, and high quality are a testament to Bowflex’s success in the business.

Everlast Power Core Dual Bag and Stand
Everyone wants to be Rocky or Captain America. Well, with a punching bag at home, you will undoubtedly come closer to this dream. Whether from Everlast Power Core or not, punching bags are excellent workouts for the entire core, improving balance, arm strength, and even strengthening your back. Another advantage is that boxing workouts are great ways to cope with stress and relieve anger. The heavy bag is made of high-quality synthetic leather material and has an adjustable height speed bag also. Both are made of the trademark Nevatear fabric that makes the bags shock-resistant.
