Ready to get in shape for the summer? With gyms and pools still closed, it is more than ever necessary to quickly regain the perfect line and that muscle tone necessary to face the summer at the top! Of course, outdoor outings will certainly be preferable, at least for aerobic training: running, trekking and cycling are the “outdoor” sports choices preferred by Italians, who do not need specific equipment, and that they do not have to submit to particular limitations related to the emergency in course and consequently to the access to dedicated structures.
That said, since last year the trend towards a new type of training, Home Fitness, has been more than ever, given the obligations of home stay imposed by the pandemic. Thus, if the so-called “sports maniacs” could already be somehow equipped with fitness equipment to train within the walls of the house, most Italians, of all ages, had to confront the need to keep fit, totally independently.
Thus, setting up a mini home gym has become more than a good idea, perhaps too often postponed in the past. Be careful: you do not need large spaces and an important budget to buy the right few tools, to stay in shape and relax body and mind.
Fitness equipment from home, necessary to conquer and maintain a tonic and resistant physique, are of many types, depending on your physical goals, which correspond to different price levels. We have chosen for you the best tools and instruments ideal for a very large audience, with a level of shape just enough, in order to achieve a good level of well-being, in a short time but “without exaggerating”. Of course, the intensity of the training will obviously be a matter to be determined, independently or perhaps following the advice of trainers and specialized personnel, taking into account any previous physical problems and/ or goals that we intend to achieve.
In this article, therefore, you will find those products that should be the basis for your daily (or frequent) home fitness activities. From elastic bands to step, from fitness-ball to yoga mat, here is the best of quality home fitness equipment and accessories, but at super affordable prices for everyone!
Yoga mat or “puzzle” carpet
Let’s start from the base, and in the true sense of the word! There are many models on the market, from simple yoga mats in thin foam to modular “puzzle” mats to cover larger spaces. In general, we do not recommend models without non-slip at the bottom, to avoid unwanted displacements; We choose one with a good thickness and size suitable for accommodating our entire body. Let’s think of setting up a dedicated fitness area in our home’s environment. The modular puzzle carpet is undoubtedly the best idea, especially in the presence of weights, exercise bikes, benches, steps, etc.
