5 Types of Exercise Equipment Under $20
As important as working out and physical fitness are, they can be very costly and expensive to manage. Gym memberships can range anywhere from $15/month to over $100/month. Even at $15/month that adds up to over $180 a year. That doesn’t include the gas it takes to get to and from the gym or the water bottle or other energy drinks you inevitably purchase while you’re there. However, there are more cost-effective options you have that can still give you a great workout without feeling broke at the end. I have put together 5 types of exercise equipment that I still use to this day and each piece of equipment costs less than $20.
1. Booty Bands
Booty bands are one of the most affordable and travel-friendly pieces of equipment. The 2 I have listed above cost $9 and $11. There are several different booty workouts you can do with these bands that will leave you very sore the next day. These are also some of the easiest to bring with you when you travel as they easily fit in any suitcase or carry on bag.
2. Jump Ropes
Jump ropes are another affordable option for work outs. Unlike the booty bands that specifically target your booty and lower body, jump ropes are a great cardio option. The one above costs $11.45 so also very affordable. This is another travel-friendly option since it can be rolled up and doesn’t take up too much room. One of the best factors of jump ropes is you can really use them anywhere.
3. Resistance Bands with Handle
Resistance bands are similar to booty bands in that they are more for fine-toning. However, they can really be used for both upper and lower body. You can also get creative and utilize it for certain cardio moves. This one costs $12. These often come in different levels of resistance so you can really control your level of intensity for your workouts. These can also be travel-friendly but the handles make it a bit bulkier for storing.
4. Sliders
This is probably the piece of equipment I hate the most in the best way. These tiny little discs look innocent, but oh boy, do they pack an intense workout that leaves you sore for days! I mostly use these for different cardio moves but you can really fine tone and even challenge everyday moves like mountain climbers and push ups. These are also easy to store for travel and cost about $8 so very affordable.
5. Ankle Weights
This is another piece of equipment that I think is best for fine toning. It really adds an extra level of intensity to any workout. I wouldn’t recommend wearing these when running, but I do think this could be a good option for some other types of cardio (i.e. stationary bike, high knees, mountain climbers, etc..). These are just under $7.
All of these products can be found at various retailers, but the ones I have noted are all Amazon. I’ve left the links below for you. If you are just starting out or interested in bringing your workout home, I think any of these 5 pieces of equipment would be a great start!
