Training is difficult and everyone knows it. While some people are able to get their decisions right out the door, people like me need something to support us on the way to become healthier. For years, I was a person who struggled with training – until I found something that worked for me inside my house. With the lack of space, I realized that a minimalist approach is best for me and my equipment, as well as for what I eat after a workout.
If you are looking for simple equipment and tools you can support your home workout trip, this list is written with you in mind. These are tools that you can fold and storeas well as healthy basic products for energize your body.
Lumen
This tool aims to teach you how to achieve your wellness goals. At first I found that Lumen was difficult to use because I couldn’t breathe properly (I was always blowing), but once I got used to it, it was smooth. When you use Lumen, you inhale it to determine if you are burning fat or carbohydrates. From there, you get a health plan through the Lumen app, which you can use to monitor your progress. Even if you don’t use it consistently, it does a good job of always telling you where you are on its scale so you can adjust accordingly. I would liken it to using a keto stick to know where you are for this diet, just more high-tech.

If you have bad knees, you may have a habit of adding extra padding to your yoga mats, but why not get a thicker pad from the start? This pad is 1 inch thick and is still easy to roll up when not in use. Best of all, I found that this mat is surprisingly resistant to sweat, regardless of the intensity of my workout.
Snibs
Yes, these are work shoes, but these are also my training shoes. The problem that some people – myself included – have when they train is balance. While working on my core, I found that Snibbs’ hard-bottomed shoes give me the grip I need to stay upright when I’m in a difficult position and when cardio and dancing make you sweat all over your workout. If you have ever worried about not slipping when training, these shoes will keep you safe and upright. These are not just training shoes, they are also good for walking.

There is no place in your home, but you want to train well? Let me point you to the Fit Simplify sustainability brands. This package comes in three different types of anti-slip strips – low, medium and high intensity. All three sustainability brands here are the selling point, because getting just one can be too easy or difficult to use depending on your needs.
Unico Nutrition
Good protein powder is hard to find these days. Some have a chalky taste, which makes it difficult for beginners like me to drink them. But this protein powder from Unico was a savior. It not only supports my protein needs, but also tastes good. I bought the vanilla ice cream and was surprised by the taste. Does it taste like vanilla ice cream as we know it? No, not completely, but it’s pretty close to protein powder. Since taste and effectiveness are important to me, this is the only powder I will use.
Do you like to get nutrients from fruits, but do not want to cut anything or make smoothies? I have found that reHarvest is a great balance for eating fruit without much work. Discard the blender from time to time and try these. You can freeze them (they taste like frozen steaks) or do what I do and eat them cold from the fridge. The texture when eaten this way is more like a healthy GoGurt.

Some people think that every pair of yoga pants works well, I’m not that person. Good yoga pants need structure, durability, pockets (yes, you need them) and a fabric that does a good job of holding everything. I tried Ychemie’s Rachel leggings and for God’s sake, I found the right training pants for me. The best thing about them are the deep pockets and how it stands on my waist, so I don’t have to constantly pull them.
Amazon
Some of us need a little more pillow to do things like yoga and pilates. If you are not ready to buy a new yoga mat, take this pillow instead. This soft mat has enough padding to help relieve pressure on your knees and elbows, and when I used it on thinner yoga mats, it helped me get through my Pilates workout without any pain.
Amazon
Sometimes I like to switch it off the mat and use this resistance bar to get an intense workout that makes the workout a little more fun. This resistance band is not only affordable, but also strong, regardless of the position in which you use it. You can sweat a lot with this.
Amazon
You don’t need huge weights that take up a lot of space to get into a good workout. I worked on strength training as a beginner and these 2 kg weights help me get better while adding intensity to my cardio workouts. Although you may want to jump to heavier weights, get it from me: If you’re going back to training, then start small.
