What I have found out over the last couple of years is that you don’t need super fancy workout equipment at home to have a great workout. Yes some dumbbells and a resistance band can go a long way, but there’s so many items you can use that you probably have laying around your house! Here are some at home workout props you can easily use to up your home workout game:
Just space! Having just some room to move around is good enough for a great cardio workout. Room for jumping jacks, burpees, push-ups, high-knees, stretching….you can do so much with just some open room. Place some towels down if you need some more support on any knee workouts.
The wall: the wall can be great for a lot of practice for the yogi in you. Great support for practicing your headstands or handstands, as well as working on some wall-push-ups or walk-ups. Starting in plank on the ground with your feet facing the wall, slowly start walking your feet up the wall and your hands back - going back and forth.
Stairs: great cardio and leg workout - walk, run, lunge up —- they work great.
Chairs and ottomans (or a sturdy crate): chairs are great for two of my favorite exercises - tricep dips and Bulgarian split squats. For tricep dips, simple place your hands on the edge of the chair fingers facing your back, and with your knees bent you slowly work your back arms up and down (not just dipping your butt down). For Bulgarian split squats, keep a foot on the chair and the other leg in a forward lunge — slowly lunge down and up. The back of a chair can be great for your balance exercises or the barre enthusiast. Ottomans or a sturdy crate — perfect for box jumps and different versions of those! Just make all of these options are sturdy :)
Towels or paper plates: looking up glider exercises? Towels or a paper plate are great for these — or even just slippery socks on a smooth surface!
Milk jugs or laundry detergent bottles: dumbbells! Can be used for the basic bicep curl but also a lot of other arm strengthening exercises - even as a kettlebell swing. Need something less heavy? Canned foods!
Small sports ball: using a small sports ball (just something you can grasp in your hand really) can be great for a lot of ab exercises that involve twists (especially the 8 figure thru your leg crunch).
There are a bunch of other great options too but these are just some great starters. Hope these help give your at home workouts a little more edge! :)
