Once you've done all the dumbbell exercises you can imagine and your chairs are worn out from being used as training equipment, it's time to add a little variety to your training accessories at home. Normally, there are no kettlebells or resistance bands available right now, so we bring you four different options.
Before making a big purchase, familiarize yourself with these little-known, innovative (and cost-effective) home training accessories. After all, spending money on exercise equipment isn't necessarily a bad idea. You are investing in your physical and mental health, and who doesn't deserve to de-stress with a good workout?
Kettle Gryp
Tired of using your weights for every workout? Kettle Gryp can fix that. Although this tool won't feel exactly like using a kettlebell, it's definitely the next best option.
Using the Kettle Gryp is simple: put it on any of your weight grips and turn it. It's made of durable, shock-resistant plastic so you won't have to worry about it breaking in the middle of training, according to the product's website. And since it weighs less than half a kilo, it is easy to carry in a backpack or travel bag.
Although it is compatible with most weights, there are a few exceptions. You should measure the length of your dumbbell, since if it is too short it may not be compatible.
Wreck Bag
If you are a fan of functional fitness or just don't want to break the ground with a barbell and discs, consider trying the Wreck Bag. It's a long, heavy bag with two handles, allowing you to add resistance to almost any exercise.
Unlike a traditional punching bag (which you have to measure and fill yourself), this product is already packed with a shock-absorbing rubber material. It is a durable accessory. You can get it wet or hit it on the ground without worrying about damaging the bag or spilling sand everywhere. Just avoid dragging it on abrasive surfaces, because that could cause tears.
Plus, the bag's handles make it easy to carry, so you won't lose weight during deadlifts or squats. Since it's available in a variety of sizes, you don't need to worry about the bag being too heavy or too light for your workout.
Gorilla bow
When it comes to home workouts, space saving is a must. After all, most of us live in a flat with no square footage left. So it is unthinkable to have a multipower machine or a complete pack of weights; but you can have this bow.
This compact tool is based on resistance bands that allows you to do almost any exercise without taking over your entire living room or basement. The Gorilla Bow looks and functions like a bow, but the arrow and rope is a resistance band.
You can adjust the bands as you move from exercise to exercise with a weight capacity of up to 150 kg of resistance. The bow itself weighs 3 kilos and is packed with a handy carry bag, making it the perfect companion for any city trip or backyard workout.
Elastic band grips
Don't have weight machines? Do not worry. You can use the Clench Band Handle to make your resistance band workouts feel like a session in the gym.
You will find them available as a single handle or as a pair, the handle has three different attachment points, allowing you to stack multiple bands at once. It is also ergonomically designed and fits your palms like a standard weight.
It is made with resistant polymer, the handles can withstand more than 75 kilos of resistance and more than 100,000 repetitions. The handles are also lightweight, making them an easy addition to your gym backpack.
Please note that resistance bands are not included. Fortunately, those are relatively inexpensive and easy to find on Amazon. Just be sure to buy long, closed elastic bands, rather than the smaller ones.
