#82 TUESDAY SCOOP... 5 pieces of home exercise equipment that I actually use
These certainly won't gather dust...
1/ My go-to home workout accessory right now is a resistance band, simply because it’s so travel-friendly and I’ve been living out of a suitcase. I swear by thick, non-slip fabric rather than the faffy, super-sticky types (you know what I mean), and this Bala set is ideal because it has three different strengths for training various limbs so you don’t slack on the intensity…
2/ Love the chic green shade of this SafeGrip dumbbell collection. Online instructors will often tell you to just grab ‘a pair of books or cans’ as makeshift weights—but I feel like it’s only by getting your mitts on proper equipment, to progressively challenge your muscles, that you will see improvements with at-home strength training. These are also handily anti-slip (unlike those chickpea tins)…
3/ A blue version of this 5mm-thick (meaning: squishier than usual) Lululemon yoga mat has been one of my most beloved possession for years (which also proves how good-quality it is). It’s supported me, whether I’ve logged on for a jumpy HIIT session or a slow vinyasa flow, and the natural rubber base is also the grippiest I’ve ever done a downward dog on…
4/ A soft Pilates ball has newly become a core part my home workout arsenal thanks to a stream of mat Pilates classes I’ve been doing from the living room (including The Pilates Class and Alo Moves) that have recommended it for taking things up a notch. This buttery yellow BetterMe one is like a ray of sunshine…
5/ I wouldn’t have necessarily thought I could pick up wrist/ ankle weights at the same time as wardrobe basics, but H&M Move has really upped its game. As such, I have no resistance to packing a pair of these—loved by experts in a Buy This, Not That… instalment last year—and setting the tone with some good fitness habits at a slew of AirBnbs in coming months…
