I love the risers in place of a treadmill! They don’t take up nearly as much space, and I can still achieve the cardio aspect of working out.

I have a treadmill which has taken a lot of space and when I get bored of walking on it, I go up to the terrace for a walk with the air so clean now. Yes I would add a yoga mat and have a pair of dumbbells which I am using regularly.

I was super lucky – when my husband’s best friend moved to the US he sold us his treadmill for a really good price. He didn’t want to have to move it over the border which worked to my benefit. While I love getting outside when the weather permits (and the dogs love it too), I use it a lot during the winter months!

I often use dumbbells at home but don’t use pushup stands (may be that’s because I don’t really need it as pushups are my daily routine for over 20 years), I think to buy a balance ball for home, it is fun and can be used as chair when you work, which is good for your back and helps to train torso too.

Yoga Mats are so versatile. You can use them to stretch, help with crushes and invert an arm or leg. Great gym list, thank you.

– A Pilates mat (thicker than a yoga mat because sometimes you roll on your spine in Pilates)
– Lots of exercise bands of different strengths. I used to go round to clients’ businesses and teach groups, so I have 13 different bands.
– A foam roller
– Yoga blocks
– A Pilates circle.

If I were to get one more thing, it would be some weights, but there are plenty of upper body exercises using just body weight, so I’m going to hold off for now.

So many people right now who are stuck at home really need to get some exercise as so many just end up eating more and sitting on the couch. It is an easy trap to fall into. What I love about the products you have selected for inclusion here is that they are easy to use, not that costly and don’t take up too much space. Great prompters to ensure you get your daily exercise and stay reasonably fit.

I already have a yoga mat and a few other pieces of gym equipment but it would make sense to buy a few extra items online now the gym is closed. I think that push up stands are probably the best choice for me. Thanks!

I like that you can adjust the height to whatever works for you. I used to really enjoy step aerobics, and they would be easy to incorporate into a routine. Plus, they would be easy to store.
