Welcome to GetMojo, we do the research so you don’t have to! In this video, we’re offering our picks for the 5 best home gym accessories on the market in 2020.
Whereas some gym equipment is focused on offering a very specific kind of workout, there are some awesome accessories out there that aim to enhance or change up your pre-existing routine. But which of these should you have in your home gym? Well, we’ve sifted through numerous website and consumer reviews to present our 5 recommended products. Okay, first up.
Extra Comfort: Gaiam Essentials Premium Yoga Mat
This one might seem pretty obvious, but a good, comfortable yoga mat can be absolutely essential to a range of different exercises – including sit-ups, crunches, push-ups and planks. Oh, and yoga, of course. This $20 Gaiam yoga mat is particularly thick at a quarter of an inch, enhancing comfort for the user. And it even comes equipped with an over-the-shoulder carry sling for added convenience.
Extra Intensity: POWER GUIDANCE Battle Rope
If you’re looking for a new full-body exercise to mix up your workout routine, then battle ropes are a great option. Offering a unique way to improve your mobility, burn fat and have fun while doing so, this $100 battle rope is incredibly well constructed and designed to take a beating. Also, this particular battle rope comes equipped with an anchor point – which you sometimes otherwise have to buy separately.
Extra Punch: RDX Punching Bag
Punching bags are another great full-body workout solution. And this $125 RDX bag is designed to handle any kind of beating you throw at it. Punching bags offer an excellent way to engage your arms, legs and core muscles. You can pretty much unleash your full force on it, which in turn helps you build strength. This RDX bag also includes a wall-mounting bracket and a set of gloves.
Extra Steps: The Step Original Aerobic Platform
You can use a gym bench – or even the staircase steps in your home – to help you with dumbbell exercises and plyometrics, but having an adjustable platform step for your home gym is super-helpful and convenient. The Step Original Aerobic Platform is priced at around $100 and offers a non-slip surface that can be adjusted for height. Those who regularly do plyometric exercises will know how small tweaks to step height can make a huge difference to the intensity of your workout.
Extra Resistance: Fit Simplify Resistance Band Set
A resistance band is like the Swiss Army Knife of the gym, because it can be used for just about anything. As well as being easily transportable, and offering a low-impact workout, it offers unique exercise opportunities, and can be a great substitute for typical, sometimes mundane, gym exercises like dumbbell curls. This $35 Fit Simplify set includes a wide variety of band strengths, and even comes with a door anchor for added versatility.
So which gym accessories should you choose? Well, if you have certain exercises that you find difficult, or a little boring, then finding an accessory to mix it up and make working out more manageable is a great idea.
