Glowing customer review: “This treadmill delivers exactly what I need for my home workouts. The range of speed settings and incline options provides a versatile workout experience… A solid choice for those looking for a reliable workout option at home.”
If you’re still using corded headphones, WYD?

There’s nothing quite like the burn you get from a booty band workout, especially when your resistance bands come in different intensity levels (and a super cute color scheme). Grab this $10 set during Prime Day 2024, and get ready to watch your glutes grow.
Glowing customer review: “Very convenient to take with me when I’m traveling or out and about for the day and want to squeeze in a few sets.”
Yoga blocks get a bad rep. Using one doesn’t mean you suck at yoga or that you’re not flexible enough. It means that you care about proper form and protecting your muscles and joints. I’ve been taking hot yoga classes for years, and I still keep one at the top of my mat during every class.

My little 1-lb ankle weights have made such a difference in my at-home workouts. They may look unassuming, but they’re *incredibly* effective. Strap them around your ankles while you work your legs and booty, then swap them to your wrists for arms and abs. Believe me, you’ll feel the BURN.

Do you know what’s GROSS? Those complimentary cycling shoes you’ve been wearing at spin class. Time to treat yourself to your very own pair. They’re actually pretty cost-effective when you factor in the wear you’ll get over the years (and the money you’ll save on athlete’s foot products).

Taking care of your muscles post-workout is almost as important as the workout itself, which is where this much-hyped TheraGun comes in.

Glowing customer review: “This is the best massage gun EVER! I have tried off brands, and this one just goes deeper with so much more power. I have more pain relief now than over the last year with an off brand.”
