Amp up your workspace with an under-desk treadmill to sneak in some steps throughout the day. Or it’s ideal if you just want a compact treadmill that allows you to get some movement in as you catch up on your favorite TV shows. Check out the Walking Pad folding treadmill, a top-rated Amazon pick and currently on sale for $318, down $81 from its original price.
A helpful piece of equipment to have as part of your home gym is a weight bench. I personally like one that's adjustable so you can use it for various upper body exercises like a dumbbell chest press or dumbbell row. This heavy-duty bench can hold up to 1,200 pounds, so it’s convenient for the whole family to use and as you start to lift heavier. The back is easy to adjust and lets you change it from flat to incline and decline in a matter of seconds. The Flybird bench is now $230 when you clip the on-page coupon.
If you’re an experienced weight lifter and want to get better at your back squat or even bench press, you’ll want to have a squat rack at home. A squat rack takes up space, so you’ll want to make sure that you have enough room to store one. It can be adjusted to 22 height positions and is compatible with barbells either 6 or 7 feet long. This squat rack also includes a pull-up bar that has soft foam to protect your hands. This deal is currently $211 when you clip the on-page coupon.
If you want to make leg day more challenging, you’ll want to own an aerobic step platform. These are your traditional step platforms that you’ve seen in popular step classes that can also be used for a cardio workout. They don’t take up much room and you can purchase extra risers if you want more height added to the step. These Zeny aerobic step platforms are currently $57, down $13 from the original price.
Resistance bands are helpful to have at home because they can be used by beginners, those rehabbing an injury or if you’re trying to make an exercise more challenging. These Renjoy resistance bands can amplify a leg day and they’re on sale for $14.
Ankle weights are helpful if you’re trying to make sit-ups or other core and leg exercises a little harder. Although you would need progressive overload to make any big changes, adding extra weight even in the form of ankle weights is a start. The Sportneer Adjustable ankle weights come in a variety of colors and weigh 5 pounds each. This deal is $27, 10% off the original price.
If Pilates is more your style, this Pilates bar kit with resistance bands is the way to go. Each kit comes with four resistance bands that offer 40 and 50 pounds of resistance. The bar is antislip and adjustable depending on the weight you attach and gives you the ability to do various popular Pilates exercises. It’s also portable enough that you can bring it with you to the gym or for a hotel workout while traveling. Pick up this set for $24, 23% off the original price.
Challenge your core, legs and arms with some core sliders. These are inexpensive pieces of equipment that work well on hardwood floors or carpeting. They’re dual-sided so you can use them on different surfaces. If your goal is to build ab strength, you’ll want a pair of these on hand. This set is under $10 with Amazon's spring deals.
