]]> If you don’t have sports equipment at home, it can sometimes seem harder to strength train outside of calisthenics. While nothing is a direct substitute for gym weights or barbells, there are plenty of household items of different weights that you can lift instead. Here are some things around the house that you can hold while working out to build strength.

Cans

One great object you may have lying around is cans of food, like canned vegetables, canned soup, or canned peaches. These are heavy because they are usually filled with dense liquid, and they come in a variety of weights. Due to their size and shape, they are convenient to hold in your hands.

Books

Books also come in many different sizes and weights and are stackable as well. You can put some books on your back while you do pushups, for example, or fill a bag to put on your back to make a cardio session more challenging or to lift during squats. They can also be useful for balance exercises.

Water Bottles

The nice thing about a water bottle is that you can fill it as much or as little as you like for more control of its weight. Water bottles are also a great shape for holding like a barbell.

]]> How often do you clean your home workout equipment? Chances are you’re not cleaning it often enough. Gym equipment like weight balls, weight plates, dumbbells, ellipticals, resistance bands, and treadmills gather dirt and bacteria need to be cleaned at least once a week and even more often if the person using it is sick. Here’s how to clean them.

Yoga Mats

To clean yoga mats, spray cleaner directly onto the mat and let it sit for the recommended time on the package before wiping it with a microfiber cloth. For a deeper clean, place your yoga mat in the bathtub and give it a good scrub.

Weights

Spritz weights with cleaning spray and wait the recommended time on the packaging before wiping them down. Make sure they’re dry before using them.

Cardio Machines

Before cleaning cardio machines like bikes, treadmills, or ellipticals, unplug them. Then clean the high-touch spots like the seats, handles, and screens. Don’t forget the other areas like the pedals or the tread of the treadmill, which is where your shoes touch. For machines with high-tech screens, use a glass cleaner and microfiber cloth.

Resistance Bands

The easiest way to clean these is to put them in a bucket of warm, soapy water or in the bathtub. Then, let the bands air dry.

Foam Rollers

To clean foam rollers, spray them with cleaning spray like you would a yoga mat, and then wipe them down to dry.
