Building a home gym is all fun and games when you have a lot of space on your disposal, but things can get tricky if you live in a small apartment. Luckily, there are some pieces of gym equipment you can easily fit even inside the smallest apartment, starting with these five fitness essentials.
Yoga Mat
No matter how big or small your apartment is, having a yoga mat is a must. You’ll need it for all sorts of floor exercises, and you can easily fold it and put it away after you’re done.
Dumbbells
If your workout routine includes some strength training, having a good set of dumbbells is essential. Adjustable dumbbells are the best possible option, so you won’t have to buy brand-new sets as your routine evolves.
Resistance Bands
Resistance bands take up barely any space, but that’s not stopping them from being incredibly effective. You can use them in all sorts of different exercises, from strength training to stretching.
Mini Exercise Bike
If you enjoy working out on a stationary bike, but can’t fit it into your apartment, buying a mini version is always an option. You should also consider mini versions of other workout machines, such as a walking pad instead of a treadmill and an ellipse leg exerciser instead of an elliptical machine.
Ab Wheel
Ab wheel can take your ab workouts to a whole new level, and you can use it with ease in a small apartment.
