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.

Have you been missing your workouts? A lack of gym equipment shouldn’t stop you from working out from home, especially since many household items can be used as a replacement—including these five. Get ready to start working out from home again with these basic things!

Laundry Detergent

If you miss kettlebell workouts but don’t have your personal kettlebell at home, use a bottle of laundry detergent in its place. It resembles a kettlebell with its size, shape, and weight, and it can give you an amazing workout.

Canned Goods

If you prefer working out with light dumbbells, they can be easily replaced with canned goods from your pantry.

Towels

A yoga mat is an essential part of equipment for home workouts, but not having one shouldn’t stop you from getting in shape. Use a large beach towel as a replacement before you’re ready to invest in your own yoga mat.

Couch Cushions

Using a BOSU ball is a great way to make your workouts more challenging. Most people don’t have one at home, but cushions from your couch can be used in its place if they come in a similar size.

Broom

Using a broom or a mop in your abdominal exercises can take them to the next level. Holding it above your head can increase your strength and help you better align your core.
