5 affordable accessories to diversify your training at home

Not everyone has decided to return to the gym. Training at home is an equally good option to build muscle mass and develop an athletic physique. At some point a rut may occur, which will more or less effectively demotivate you to continue. Here are 5 affordable accessories to diversify your home training and help you gain extra muscle!

Affordable accessories for training at home: push-up handles

Parallettes or simply push-up handles are an ideal solution for people who want to master this exercise to perfection. Thanks to parallettes you can stabilise your body a lot more effectively and work on particular parts of your muscles more efficiently. Moreover, they can be used to learn other exercises, such as handstand or reverse push-ups involving the triceps. They are certainly affordable accessories that will add variety to your training at home and do not take up too much space!

Affordable accessories for training at home: mini band resistance bands

Mini resistance bands are now one of the most popular home training accessories and are an extremely cost-effective solution due to their low price and high durability. Mini bands have an incredibly wide range of applications. They are great for training legs, you can confidently use them to engage the muscles of the back, and they will serve as support during activation exercises and during a dynamic warm-up. The compact size eliminates any problems related to their storage, and also allows you to take the bands with you, e.g. during a business trip or holiday.

Affordable accessories for training at home: AB Wheel

The Abdominal Muscle Training Wheel or AB Wheel is a simple but incredibly effective accessory for training at home, outdoors or in a professional fitness club. Its simple and intuitive use not only allows you to shape and accentuate the outlines of your abdominal muscles. Regular training with the ab wheel has an extremely beneficial effect on the stabilisation of the torso, including the deeply located postural muscles.

Affordable accessories for training at home: skipping rope

Slightly underrated, but certainly extremely valuable for people who shy away from the classic cardio training on a treadmill or elliptical trainer. Skipping is a very good way to take a break from boring running sessions - the number of variations and ways of using skipping rope is difficult to estimate accurately. Moreover, skipping allows you to improve your motor coordination and teach you how to perform the movement rhythmically.

Affordable accessories for training at home: sensorimotor disc/cushion

Although this device is rather well-known in rehabilitation centres, nothing stands in the way of using it during training at home. Thanks to its unstable form, the sensorimotor disc is ideal for balance and trunk stabilisation exercises. Its use while working at a desk allows you to engage deep muscles.
