Self Magazine also suggests resistance bands, with the magazine’s former fitness editor saying, “If you only ever purchase one piece of exercise equipment in your life, it should be a pack of resistance bands.” Specifically, the Fit Simplify Resistance Loop Exercise Bands come with a variety of colors and levels of resistance. They can be used for curls, hip abductions, an overhead press, a lateral walk, and more, as well as by beginners and seasoned athletes who are at home or on the go.

If you haven’t done a TRX workout, you are missing out. The TRX Home2 System, also mentioned by Health, features a carabiner that can support up to 700 pounds and locking loops, allowing you to hang it over a door, from a tree, in the gym, and beyond. The portable suspension trainer weighs less than a pound and can be set up in under a minute. After that, you can get in full-body workouts, especially since this version comes with access to the TRX Training Club app.
A jump rope allows for quick and effective exercise

A great way to get cardio in is with a jump rope, and this one, which was suggested by BuzzFeed, has a digital counter, with a timer, your weight, the number of calories burned, and a count of how many circles you’ve jumped. According to Prevention, jumping rope gets that heart rate up quickly, improves coordination and agility, and is yet another piece of fitness gear that allows you to exercise anywhere and at any time.
Adjustable weight sets are great for at-home fitness

Finally, there are adjustable dumbbell sets. So, instead of purchasing and making room for a rack that holds numerous dumbbells, you can get one that adjusts to different weights. For instance, BuzzFeed points out Deliny’s, which is available in different size varieties and colors. You can hold them while doing lower-body moves, such as squats and lunges. You can put one between your feet while doing leg raises, in order to target abdominal muscles. And you can get in a variety of upper-body movements like rows and tricep kickbacks.
