1. A roll of rowing tape that'll protect your fingers and hands from blisters, chafing, and uncomfortable pinching. It's infused with healing eucalyptus that reviewers say helps keep bruises at bay, too.

2. These bestselling yoga pants that'll help you stay dry during your workout. They're completely opaque and have little pockets that'll help you store your phone, keys, or credit cards.
3. These resistance bands that'll help you tone your booty, improve your flexibility, or just add an extra challenge during other bodyweight exercises. The thick material won't rip, tear, or buckle, even the during the most intense workouts.

"These are made of thick fabric, meaning they don't slip and slide around while I'm jumping around in HIIT exercises. They're also super comfortable and the three resistance levels work perfectly for different types of moves (for example, I use the heavy band for squats and the light one for kickbacks). You can also use them to help with mobility, if your arms are feeling a bit stiff." —Alice Prendergast
