Dotsie Bausch, Olympic medalist and founder of Switch4Good, thinks these versatile weights are where it’s at.

“I love that dumbbells have become so much more accessible in a wider variety of weight options,” she said. “If you feel most comfortable popping on a YouTube video at home to guide your workout, or simply want the higher degree of flexibility working out at home, using these affordable dumbbells is key.”

• Price: $14.99

Fitness coach Cassey Ho developed these resistance bands — and Bausch thinks they’re fantastic. “I love the brand, I love her workouts, and resistance bands provide a killer way to take your training up several notches,” Bausch said. “Physical therapists swear by them, and when properly and responsibly utilized, can awaken muscles you never knew you had.”

• Price: $7.59

Workouts need fuel — but not just any snack will do. You want to make sure they’re as nutritious as they are delicious. Bausch loves these Larabar bars because they’re vegan, have minimal ingredients and satisfy “every sinfully delicious craving.”

Anyone who has ever worked out knows so much of it is about recovery. Well, this stability ball is so helpful in that area.

“I love these more than mini ab balls because you can do more with them, and they’re excellent for stretching my back and adding greater range of motion to various core exercises,” Bausch said.

• Price: $9.99

In addition to the stability balls, Bausch really likes the All In Motion ab wheel. But this one is way more of an actual workout!

“It’s so simple and looks deceptively easy, but just 30 seconds with this thing and your abs will be screaming,” Bausch said.

Chris Pruitt, certified trainer and CEO of WorkoutHealthy, is all about this durable mat.

“This mat is great for a variety of workouts like yoga or Pilates,” he said. “It’s thicker than most, which means more cushion and support during your exercises. Also it stays put, so you’re not slipping around.”

Step aside, Peloton. There’s a new treadmill in town! 

“This compact treadmill is ideal for home use, especially if space is tight, like an apartment or condo. It’s got enough power for walking and jogging, and the fold-up design is convenient,” Pruitt said.

If you’re ready to really shell out some dough for your health journey, this rower might be just the thing you’re looking for.

“This air rower gives you a good full-body workout and folds up for easy storage,” Pruitt said. “It’s straightforward to use and tracks your progress with an LCD monitor.”
