The Best Cheap Exercise Equipment

By John Makers


Cheap exercise equipment is a good alternative to joining a local gym, who's monthly fees can really cut into your budget. If you are just starting out though, there are a lot of fitness products that you can buy that don't cost a lot, but can give you quite a return in terms of fitness.

There is a lot of cheap exercise equipment in the market that you can get for less than 50 bucks. So you might think that being so cheap that the equipment wouldn't be that effective, but in this case you'd be wrong. Sometimes it is best to go with something simple, and simple is sometimes the most effective. If you are looking to shed some pounds, tone your muscles, or just improve your overall physical fitness, any of these products combined with some other form of low impact exercise (like walking) will be able to provide you with a great workout by any measurement.

The first product on our cheap exercise equipment list is the kettlebell. Kettlebells come in a variety of different weights so depending how strong you are you will need to adjust accordingly. There are a few basic exercises you should learn to master before moving on to any advanced routines. The kettlebell swing is a great overall movement for increasing strength for the entire posterior of your body. The posterior being the back of the neck, back muscles, glutes, and back of your thighs and calves. It's one of most simple, yet effective exercises for gaining strength.

If you are really concerned with increasing your muscle mass, then we have two products which, if used together, can form the basis of an entire muscle building regimen without ever having to leave your home. All you need to be able to build a great looking upper body is a home pull up bar and a pair of pushup handles. Body weight exercises are great for strength, and these two items just really allow you to intensify your body weight workouts. Include a few sets of air squats and lunges a few times a week and you will start to notice your body getting ripped.

We would supplement the above some form of cardio training as well, preferably with some interval training like sprinting. This will give you some conditioning and improve your cardiovascular function while still allowing you to build some solid muscle with the body weight exercise products above.

We also really like using resistance bands. For your money, this is probably one of the best overall values when it comes to the sheer number of different exercises you can do with them. They are not quite as effective as pushup, pullups, and squats for building muscle mass, but they will definitely help get your muscles toned and firmed. Resistance bands provide you the ability to get some great resistance training from the comfort of your house, and take up almost no space. This makes them great for those who need portable fitness equipment on the go. Whatever you choose to with any of these exercise products can take you well on your way to getting in shape.
