IT can be hard enough to find the motivation to do a workout at the best of times, let alone if you have to muster the energy to leave the house and get to the gym.

We all know it’s worth it, and you’ll always feel great after a gym session or exercise class, but home workouts have also become increasingly popular.

And if you know what equipment to invest in, getting fit from the comfort of your own home can be a cheaper, and quicker, alternative.

Personal trainer Courtney Black – who has her own fitness app – says: “Home workouts are an amazing way to stay in shape without spending money on a gym membership and wasting time on the commute.

“I absolutely live by home workouts, they have completely changed my life.

“The flexibility and convenience of getting up, getting it done around my busy schedule is unbeatable and amazing for building a consistent and sustainable habit.

“Not only that, it is budget friendly and you can literally take your workout anywhere!”

Dumbbells

Dumbbells are an essential for every home gym or living room.

They are a piece of equipment that can literally be added to every workout to help develop a balanced and strong physique.

Adjustable dumbbells are even more effective as you can add or decrease weight depending on the exercise.

I recommend this set of adjustable weights from Amazon, which are £27.99 for a pair.

Resistance bands

The perfect addition to your workout routine – trust me these burn!

They’re small, and amazing for a home workout or popping in your suitcase when you go on holiday and don’t want to stop working out completely.

Resistance bands can really level up your lower body routine for that extra added intensity.

A set of five from Amazon costs just £7.98.

Ankle weights

These are amazing to ramp up the intensity of your usual workout or to pop on while walking to build and sculpt your leg muscles.

This is brilliant for improved bone health and increasing lean muscle mass.

These 1.5kg ankle weights are available from my website, and cost £7.
