The best low impact home exercise equipment

I enjoy a good resistance workout, but doing it from home can be challenging: untangling the resistance bands, having to constantly update your free weights as you outgrow them—not to mention who can install a repair machine inside their home? The LIT AXIS will replace cable systems, free weights, power racks, bench press equipment, and a suspension trainer, and it can even work as a Pilates reformer. It’s a smart fitness system that connects to an app that tracks calories burned, how much weight you lift, and even muscle imbalances. With all this functionality, you would think it would take up a lot of space, but it is very small – about the size of a shoebox.

This one is pricey, but if you’re going to make home workouts a permanent change, it might be worth it. That’s because thanks to the ARENA system, you may never set foot in a gym again. It offers up to 200 pounds of machine resistance, and it’s about the size of a handbag, so it packs a punch. From bicep curls to squats to deadlifts and more, you can do it all without having to buy new sets of weights. For those who don’t want their own freestyle lifting technique, the dedicated app contains exercises done by professionals.

The Brrrn board is perfect for those of us on the higher floors who want to get a cardio-pounding workout without the jumping jacks. (Maybe she learned this lesson the hard way or not, thanks to an angry letter from a former neighbor…) Brrrn’s workout is all about sliding, and their website has a number of HIIT, yoga, and other exercises that can be done on the board With or without complementary equipment such as dumbbells. He. She he It’s six feet tall, so you’ll want to take that into account, but if you’re tight on space, there’s also a five-foot option.

Anyone doing any serious movement or lifting weights in the house should protect their floors, whether or not they live on top of anyone. These puzzle-piece-like mats come in a variety of thicknesses, depending on your level of paranoia, and are designed to reduce slipping.

Bala bracelets are, simply put, super cute. The 1lb Ankle Weights can take any Pilates, mountaineer, or lunge move up. You can also wear them on your wrists for an upper body workout.

I’m not a fitness trainer or professional, but kettlebells are widely accepted as a versatile weight. You can use them for strength exercises, such as squats and rows, or for moves that involve cardio, such as kettlebell swings and snatches.

I’ve gotten a lot of gripes about having to constantly buy new weights as my strength progresses, but with a set of adjustable dumbbells you won’t have that problem. They start at 5.5 lbs and go up to 27.5 lbs (wide range), while taking up a fraction of the space required by multiple sets of dumbbells.

I know this sounds like an ’80s-era aerodynamic move, and it does can It can be used that way if you want to, but hear me out: With 16 different configurations, this multi-purpose platform can be used for everything from sit-up presses to yes-steps. And elevating your feet — like for push-ups, or raising your back foot for lunges — is an easy way to add more power to your exercise. Additionally, you can do a number of cardio moves on this thing.

This half ball can help you work on your balance, and it can also be used to supplement some body weight moves to make them more challenging. Turn it over so the ball is on the ground and do push-ups or mountain climbers as you do so Of course You feel in your arms the next day. Or put the flat part on the floor and do abs on the spherical part.

If you want the gliding action of a Brrrn board for a fraction of the price (and a lot more portability), gliders like these are a great alternative. Use them for lunges, side squats, or even mountain climbers and you’ll feel a different kind of burn.
