10 household items you can use as fitness equipment at home

There is no need to buy expensive gym equipment for your home fitness. Exercise equipment is hidden all over your house, you just need to know where to look. Whether you need weights or machines, here are the household items that you can use as fitness equipment.

Home fitness doesn’t have to be expensive and tedious

#chair or stool

You can use a chair or stool in different ways. With a kitchen chair, you can use the backrest like a dumbbell and do barre exercises with it to keep your balance. Barre exercises include all those little movements with your feet that strengthen the glutes and squats.

A sturdy chair (without wheels) can be a great addition to your exercise program

You can also use a low stool like a step to work your glutes and quads, or you can just go up and down. You can also make quick foot movements up and down, forward and backward, and to the side if you’re sure the stool won’t slide out from under you.

Whether you’re trying to perfect your squats or practicing chair yoga, a chair can be perfect

#Full backpack

A stuffed backpack can be used as a weight while doing a variety of training exercises. You can load it up with some weight and carry it on your back (or front) while you run, squat, or even go for a walk. You can also strap it to your back while doing push-ups so you’re moving extra weight up and down.

Next time your backpack is full, use it for training too

#Hand towel

Use a towel as a stretch aid or for a great arm workout. Looking for a leg challenge? Get into the plank position on a smooth floor and place a small towel under each of your feet. Then try to move your legs apart and back together very slowly and in a controlled manner. Feel the burn!

What is a towel for one is a resistance band for another!

#Laundry detergent

Want to try strength training with household items? These detergent cans are quite heavy, so they make great weights. You can lift them as weights for a simple workout at home. Depending on the size of the pitchers, these are one-handed or two-handed repetitions. You can also hold the detergent in front of your chest while doing squats to add body weight.

Train your arms with the help of detergent bottles

#Laundry basket

You know how hard it is sometimes to carry around a full laundry basket? Use it wisely and train with it. Next time your laundry basket is full, carry it around the house or up and down the stairs. Make the walk to the washer and dryer a little longer than necessary so you can take a few extra steps. If you give your laundry to a laundromat, use the full bag you get back as a weight before you put your clothes away. Carrying it around is enough, but you can also hold it while doing squats or wall sit exercises.

#Stairs

If you have stairs, it is good for exercising. The easiest way to use them is to go up and down them. Think of this as your home stairmaster. For a harder workout, you can take or carry weights. You can also use the bottom stair to climb up and down like you did with the stool. Another way to use the stairs is to do push-ups on the stairs. Put your feet on the floor and lean forward onto the stairs. Put your hands on the comfortable stairs and do push-ups. This makes the push-ups easier and is a good option when you need a change.

Walk or run up the stairs to get your heart and glutes pumping

#mop or broom

Mop and broom are other household items that serve as fitness equipment. Like most of these items, a broom can be used in a variety of ways. If you want to do some cardio and train your fast feet, put the broom on the floor and jump back and forth over the handle. This increases the heart rate and gets the blood pumping. You can also include a mop or broom in your abdominal workout. For sit-ups, hold the broomstick as you sit up and down. You don’t necessarily need any equipment to do this, but the broom will help you hold your form as you sit up.

The next time you clean the floor, allow 10 minutes more time for exercise

#A wall

You won’t find an apartment without at least four of them! The wall sit exercises you had to do in high school gym class were actually pretty good for your muscles — and you can do them at home, too. Find an empty spot against the wall and stand with your back to it. Squat down with your feet outward so your knees are at a 90-degree angle and your thighs are parallel to the floor. Lean your back against the wall so you look like you’re sitting in a chair. Hold this position for 30-second intervals to work your leg muscles.

Walls provide stability when doing stretching or wall sit exercises

#countertop

Strengthen your arms and chest by doing several sets of countertop push-ups. This is a great exercise to do while you wait for the water to boil or the oven to preheat.

The next time you cook, you can combine it with some exercise

#Football, basketball or volleyball

You don’t need a medicine ball to power up your Russian twists. You really don’t need a ball, but the ball keeps your hands in place. You can use any sports ball you have around the house for this. For the Russian twist, sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet slightly off the floor, and pick up the ball on your left side. Rotate your body so the ball is on your right side, then rotate back. You can increase the difficulty by bouncing the ball on the ground when you’ve turned all the way to your side, as you’ll then be forced to hold the ball to your side for a second longer, which will engage your abs even more.

This is a very good and effective exercise
