1. A Pilates ring to engage your core and biceps at the same time. Twist, rotate, and squeeze this tiny ring to wake up muscles in a few minutes (no lengthly mat routine required).
2. A desk exercise bike because it'll be so easy to squeeze in a workout during busy WFH days: Pedal your legs while you answer emails and attend Zoom meetings. The best part? You don't have to add a separate sweat session to your schedule.
3. A speed jump rope to improve your double-unders and get a killer workout, even if you're pressed on time. All you need are a couple of sets (for example, you might want to try three sets of 30 jumps) and you'll ~work up a sweat~ faster than you can say c-a-r-d-i-o.
4. An Obé Fitness membership that'll take the stress out of planning a fitness routine. If you're in a time crunch, you can participate in on-demand express classes (they're 10 minutes each!) or 28-minute live classes if you only have a half hour. Choose from barre, cardio boxing, HIIT, sculpt, yoga, and many more workouts!
5. A portable rowing machine because your arms and back will be like "hello, where have you been all my life?" when you hop on for a quick ride. With 12 resistance levels, you can do a mini sprint or take it slow to focus on form.
6. A Kettle Gryp that'll give your sweaty hands a *lift* during short strength training sessions. Place it around a dumbbell, close it up, and bam, you're good to start working out. No more dropping dumbbells when you have to complete timed reps.
7. A TRX Suspension Training System for doing push-ups, pull-ups, planks, and more bodyweight moves when you only have 10 or 15 minutes. All you need to do is anchor it to a beam, lay down a mat, and give yourself a couple of feet to move around. It's so easy to set up and lets you exercise on the spot.
8. Core sliders because you can give your abs the ultimate treatment *and* watch TV after a jam-packed day. Your obliques will ~feel the burn~ after using these helpers for planks, push-ups, and mountain climbers. Plus, you'll get to exercise and catch up on a show without having to miss out on either.
9. Push-up bars that'll feel way better than dumbbells or bare hands when you're doing express push-up sets. Each handle gives you a solid grip, so you're not slipping and sliding when you're moving up and down.
10. An adjustable stepping machine with resistance bands and a space-saving design, so you can have a mini cardio session if you work at a standing desk all day long.
11. Or a tiny elliptical that doesn't even require you to get up from the couch or desk to exercise 😲: Slide your feet in and pedal away with eight resistance levels while you have a binge-watch marathon or jump on FaceTime calls. Yes to multitasking and moving your bod simultaneously!
12. A collapsible, pop-up defender to help you play basketball when you don't have time to get to the gym: Just set it up under your driveway hoop to re-create a game-like environment, where you can dribble, pass, and shoot solo.
13. Resistance bands so you can challenge your upper and lower body in as little as 10 minutes. Do squats, lunges, and more with these bands that come in five different resistance levels (x-light, light, medium, heavy, and x-heavy).
14. A compact, collapsible treadmill if you really want to walk, jog, or run, but only have a short lunch break. This piece of equipment has an adjustable riser and it's foldable, so you can easily grab it from under a bed or couch if you need to work out in between a busy schedule.
15. A mini Pilates ball so you can ~get to the core~ of your flexibility and balance challenges without committing a lot of time. This little tool will keep your abs engaged during leg lifts, spider triceps, and toe touches and make your short core routine a little less boring.
16. A strength training device for short-duration workouts. This small gadget, which syncs with the free Activ5 Trainer App, targets upper and lower body muscles with low-impact isometric movements, including chest presses and woodchops. Just place it in your hand or under your foot, launch the app, and get movin'.
17. A stationary bike because you can have a quick solo cycling session *on your time* if you can't attend a longer virtual class. It has comfy seating, adjustable resistance, a multi-functional display, and a space-saving design, making it perfect for smaller living spaces.
18. A ball balance trainer so you can gift your core (and arms) a sweat session that doesn't take too long. You can plank, do push-ups, squats, and lunges on this versatile piece of equipment, which can be so helpful if you don't have a lot of time to exercise.
19. A Core Max 2.0 because you'll get to work your abs, arms, and legs with quick exercises. You can do crunches, push-ups, and multiple bodyweight movements with this compact device that'll help you ~work up a sweat~ in your home.
20. A punching bag set so you can do a fast workout that'll get your arms in great shape. It even comes with gloves, so you can easily create your own boxing setup indoors or outdoors.
21. Bala Bangles to add a lil' resistance to your mini workout sessions (like barre or Zumba). These babies weigh one pound each, but they'll help boost strength whenever you're doing cardio or strength training.
22. A pack of exercise cards so you can mix up your express fitness routine with planks, push-ups, and burpees galore. You'll never know what's coming up next in the deck and your arms, legs, and core will feel the burn.
23. A sturdy foam roller that'll help soothe your tight muscles after kickboxing, running, and cycling. It has triple grid massage zones that'll get to work on all sore areas, so you can make the most out of your post-workout time.
24. An ab roller so you can target your arms, back, and core for a couple of minutes. If you need a break from crunches and sit-ups, this tiny gadget will put your muscles to work in less time than a typical ab circuit.
25. And a pull-up bar station for upper body and core movements. This piece of equipment doesn't take up too much room and targets multiple muscle groups at the same time. You can do knee raises, dips, pull-ups, and more exercises on days you don't have a lot of free time.
