We know that a lot of exercises will require using some equipment for better results that is why a lot of fitness buddies choose to spend their workout sessions in gyms. However, gyms require payment for memberships and not all of us have the budget for it. Moreso, gyms are not really a safe space during this pandemic. But then, workout equipment usually comes in big sizes and you probably live in a place with not much space for it.
Well, you are in luck for we have listed five space saver workout equipment that you should have to help you with your fitness journey. Check these out!
#1 Resistance Bands
A set of resistance bands is the ultimate space saver workout equipment that you must have if you do not own any yet! Resistance bands are basically bands with each band having its own resistance intensity. Usually, they are color-coded from lightest to darkest representing the increase in resistance. You can just store them in a drawer or just inside your gym bag!
#2 Ab Wheels
Ab wheels are only made up of 2 wheels with handles on the size and can be stored in your cabinet or under your bed, ready to be pulled out when you are ready to workout. If sit-ups or crunches are becoming too much of a bore to you already, this equipment can do the job of leveling up your ab-game! Plus, this also shapes our arms – hitting two birds with one stone. Your plank game can be improved with this as well.
#3 Yoga Mat
Of course, this will not be missing from our list. We know how a lot of workouts will involve being on the floor and since being on the floor isn’t really safe, a yoga mat is your go-to buddy for floor exercises. They come in different thickness wherein you can choose whatever makes you feel more comfortable working out with. A thick mat will be best for keeping your tailbone unharmed while you do your sit-ups.
#4 Pull-Up Bar
As much as we try to avoid doing pull-ups, we know how beneficial it is for us when it comes to enhancing our arm strength and accomplishing our goals for our back muscles. So having a pull-up bar at home isn’t really a big idea. You will just need a sturdy doorway to ensure your pull-up bar will be secure up there. Drilled or not, there are many types of pull-up bars that you can choose from at your disposal.

You can just position it in front of your wall or sturdy table or chair to serve as your handles and bike away! Swamped with work? Put it under your table and workout while sitting down.
