We’ve all gotten used to the idea of working out at home over the past year. Even though gyms and fitness studios have begun reopening, there’s still many benefits to exercising at home. For one thing, it saves a lot of time by saving you travel time to and from a gym. And many of us have an easier time finding motivation to exercise when we have an at-home routine.
While you can easily find workouts that don’t require any equipment other than your own body, these types of routines can easily become a bit boring. Fortunately, it doesn’t take much to upgrade your home workout. All you need are some easy-to-use products that you can get on Amazon.

“Overall, this product is good quality, and I would buy again. It comes with a little knee pad which is very nice & thick enough to use comfortably on a wood floor with no pain; it does come a little folded up but flattens out quickly with use. It was tricky to assemble and get the handle snugly in the center but not too terrible. Packaging was sturdy and nice, but I would prefer an image of someone with a normal body type actually using the product over the unrealistically muscled and low-body-fat man's torso on the packaging now. Would also prefer if there were no plastic bags used in internal packaging, as it's unnecessary because of the quality of the box & would prevent plastic waste.”

“GREAT BUY! Fantastic for a full body workout. You can do a good light workout or kick it up a notch for more intensity. I use it for upper body and lower body. There are resistance bands and you can turn the bar to tighten up the bands for more resistance which is a plus! It still gives you a nice workout that works out different muscle groups. Great instruction included with the bar but you can look up even more online. Super happy with this purchase and always great to add more variety to your workouts!”

“I purchased these bands to add some variety to my home workouts and have been using them for a few weeks now. All of the bands are different colors for the different levels of resistance. They don't feel cheap or thin. The product is high quality and came with a color printed, laminated card with example exercises for upper and lower body. The company also emailed me an ebook with more exercise examples. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase. Great product!”

”I was so reluctant to buy this product because of its cheap price. I was thinking that it would be a poor quality useless product but I gave it a try as I didn't have anything to lose. First off all the body is well made, the metal bar seems thick enough and seems very sturdy. I am 5'9'' and 195lbs and this machine was able to hold me on without any balance issues.
Things I Like the Most About this Items Are:
* Very cheap for the quality
* The size as we have a very small apartment. It fits in a closet when not being used.
* 12 Resistance Settings.
* Quick installation took only couple minutes to setup.
* Light weight yet durable and stable while you are working on it.
