Everything from beginner-friendly resistance band loops to bike shorts you'll wanna live in.
Promising review: "I wear these day in and day out, literally during the day and to sleep, and for short runs and yoga. Especially during lockdown these have gotten a lot of use, haha. I have pairs from years ago that are still holding up well. In Southern California these are nice for warm weather and go with any T shirts or tanks." —MarisaC599779020

Psst — try Toni Mitchell's ten-minute jump rope workout if you're looking for some inspo!
Promising review: "I needed some exercise equipment do to the COVID-19 quarantine, and this was the perfect addition to my workout room! It came with two sets of jump ropes (red and blue) that have lengthy cables. The jump rope handles are easy to grip and are made out of a soft material that does not make your hands sore after jumping for 10 minutes. Overall, I am satisfied with these jump ropes! Perfect for me and a partner." —Joes Page

Promising review: "Perfect quarantine shirts. Whether you are lazing around or working out, these are great basics. I’m back to order another three pack in different colors (got the gray/dark green/pink combo last time). They are super light, don’t really shrink in the wash. Not sure if they are durable for the long run but I am so comfy in these. I used to cut the arms of my tee shirts or tanks to make them wide armed, but I won’t anymore once now that I’ve found these." —Ginny France

Promising review: "Works well. I've been doing lots of home workouts during COVID times, and even with all my jumps the headband stays in place. I feel like I don't sweat much during the 40 min workouts, but upon removing my headband, it is absolutely drenched. So it does well in keeping sweat off my face. For the price I paid, the amount of headbands I received, and the nice colors — I am impressed. They are also comfortable to wear." —Amy Ross
Get a set of ten from Amazon for $18.99.
Promising review: "I sized up because I wanted them to be baggy. Sizing up was about the perfect fit in the end but they weren’t baggy. They were the perfect size. They’re super comfy and soft. With this quarantine life I’ll be ordering many more pairs to live in for the next few weeks." —Hayley

Promising review: "Really comfortable and I feel I can breathe in these and can use while working out without struggling for air or hyperventilating because the shape and construction keeps the fabric from sucking back to your mouth on inhale. Love the way they enabled adjustable ear straps so it will stay on if running or doing something really active." —BossLadybc

Just a heads-up — as far as face mask and coverings go, this is only one layer (the CDC recommends two to three layers for full coverage). Some barrier is better than no barrier, though — just be particularly mindful about maintaining social distancing while wearing this (as you should with all mask types). You can check out BuzzFeed's rundown of the CDC's face mask guidelines for more details.
Promising review: "At first I thought was too small but I stretched it out a bit with my hands and while I rode my bike with it on it stretched to be awesome! I can breath with it on and not fog up my glasses! I don’t feel like I’m suffocating in it! Best summer mask! Got three more." —Petunia
Get it from Amazon for $10.95+ (available in seven colors).
Promising review: "These shorts are amazing! It cinches my waist perfectly, but it doesn’t squeeze.

I will buy up every bright color you make!" —diamondberries

Promising review: "Stuck at home and your neglected exercise equipment is staring you down? So you hop on and realize you sweat buckets? You need a gym towel. Not one of your bath towels. These are designed to wick moisture away and easily drape over your neck to keep it handy. This four pack is great because each is a different color. So each family member you are are quarantined with can have their own and you don't have to worry about accidentally picking up someone else's gross sweaty towel." —Enealio

Promising review: "I bought this crop in the hopes I could find comfy shirts to wear without a bra to lounge in and maybe do some soft exercise. I was happy as soon as I put this crop on, it's so soft and fits me so well. I do feel a light support but won't be running or doing HIIT in it anytime soon. It's perfect for quarantine wear and for the fact that I truly never want to wear a bra again when we can go out." —lduke

Promising review: "These wireless headphones are exactly what I was looking for. With COVID-19, I’ve started running outside in the mornings and I wanted wireless headphones to keep me motivated. They came with a nice little mesh case and extra little ear buds/hooks in case they fall off or anything happens. I love that they’re magnetic so the two earbuds can stick together when not in use! I’m seriously impressed and excited." —Alli

Y'all, I have made very few "nonessential" purchases since we started sheltering in place, but this was one that was worth every penny. I pulled the pads out and they are the *chef's kiss* perfect combination of supportive without being constricting. For some reason I hate not wearing a bra during the day and also simultaneously hate wearing bras, and this very comfy wireless version is the only one that I can stand right now.
Promising review: "I wanted some comfortable bralettes to wear during quarantine, since I need some support as a full C cup. These are PERFECT. You can’t necessarily do jumping jacks with them but they’re great for walking, going downstairs, yoga, etc. They’re soft, comfortable, and I even sleep in them because I keep forgetting I’m wearing one." —Holly Jackson
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 10 styles and sizes S-XL with options for "Busty").
Promising review: "Being in quarantine has me working out two to three times a day just to keep me sane. I've had to wear three pull over sports bras to attempt to get the support this one sports bra gives me! I'm so impressed I'm buying a second bra! I was able to do a low-impact weight exercise on the first hooks and tightened it up to the second hooks so I could take my dog on our morning run." —Brandi

Get a pair from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in 26 colors and sizes XS-XXXL).
Promising review: "I have almost never worn a hat while running, but I cut my hair short during the stay-at-home COVID-19 lockdown so I wouldn't have to deal with it. I started feeling the sun on the my scalp and decided to look for a running hat. I chose this one due to the favorable reviews and price. I've worn it for about five runs (about 40 miles) at this point, and I'm happy with my decision. It's very light, it blocks the sun, and I barely notice it's there. The bill is long enough to provide more shade for my eyes as well. I wear a pair of sunglasses at the same time without problem." —bbshanny
