It's resolution time: Grab these 10 home-gym essentials on sale at Amazon — up to 50% off
Most New Year's resolutions involve getting in shape, but the thought of actually going to the gym can be overwhelming. Luckily, it's easier than ever to work out from the comfort of your own abode, thanks to Amazon. Right now, tons of exercise equipment and popular home fitness machines are on sale, some for up to 50% off! From dumbbells to rowing machines to yoga mats and more, this at-home gym equipment can help you build your fitness routine for 2023.
At half an inch, this is a pretty thick mat, which means it can withstand your attempts at the most demanding of poses — and comfortably cushion you should you tumble. The mat provides non-slip traction on both sides. Even better, it comes with a carrying strap, so you can bring it to classes outside of your home too.
Ever wanted to get your steps in while watching TV? This compact stepper makes that possible! It has a hydraulic drive system that provides a smooth step every time, plus a LED monitor that shows you exactly how many steps you’ve taken so far so you can track your workouts. The machine weighs only 15 pounds, allowing you to easily move it around, and it's small enough to be stored in a closet when your workout is over.
With a screen that tracks distance, calories and pulse, the Fitness SF-E905 Elliptical lets you build strength at your own pace. This lean machine comes partially assembled, and it's slim enough to slip into a closet between workouts. And it's down to just $142 (from $179) when you use the on-site coupon.
They say abs are made in the kitchen, but this ab roller will really help your muscles pop. This handy exercise wheel targets your entire core — abdominals and back muscles — and it even comes with a plush knee pad to make your workout more comfortable.
These incredibly powerful dumbbells sell out quickly, and they are rarely on sale, so now is the time to grab them! A quick click of the dial changes the weight incrementally to meet the needs of everyone in your home. They can be set as light as 5 pounds and as heavy as 52.5 pounds. You can fine-tune them in 2.5-pound increments for the first 25 pounds, then slowly add extra heft as your muscles get stronger.
Build cardiovascular strength while toning your core. This rower offers multiple levels of resistance and monitors distance, time, calories burned and strokes per minute. It has built-in transportation wheels for easy portability and non-slip pedals to keep your feet in place during workouts.
Each set of stretchy "booty bands" has different resistance levels to tone everyone from beginners to hard-core exercisers. But don't think these will only tone your rear; they can also work your core, calves and thighs. In addition to the four bands, you’ll also get a bag to store them in, a printed training guide showing you different exercises you can do with the bands and access to the brand’s online glute band training video for more tips and how-tos.
With these swaddling your ankles, you can get your calves and thighs toned just by going about your day — while cooking dinner, cleaning the house or taking the dog for a walk around the block. The weights come with removable sand pockets that can be added in or removed to adjust how heavy each weight is. Even better, shoppers say the neoprene exterior is soft against your skin so you don’t have to worry about chafing.
For those short on space and time, we recommend checking out this popular walking treadmill. It fits underneath a standing desk, so you can get your steps in while you work. Its quiet motor won’t distract you while you’re on Zoom calls or working on projects, and if you’d rather go for a jog or run after work hours, just raise the handrail and you’ll be able to increase your speed.
Knead out muscle knots with this high-density foam roller, which has a multi-density surface pattern that makes the roller ideal for full-body use. With each purchase, you get access to the brand’s free online instructional video library on foam rolling best practices from their experts.
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
