Keep these non-slip elastic loops in your car or backpack for those times that you just need to workout – lunchtime at work, during breaks on your hike, or at rest stops on a long road trip.
EnterSports Ab Rollers Wheel Kit with Push-up Bars
This classic ab exerciser, when done right, will leave your obliques with that “good” soreness the next day, and the bars will help alleviate some of the wrist discomfort associated with push-ups. Don’t worry: the kit comes with pads to protect your knees while you’re working up to the advanced versions of these moves.
HPYGN Resistance Bands Set
Another great flat-band option, these wide bands won’t slip under your feet when doing curls or rows. Use them in your stretching routine as well, to help you stretch your dollar even further (pardon the pun).

Whether using dumbbells, resistance bands or barbells (if you’ve got them), this adjustable gym-quality bench will help you hit all your muscles’ angles with each and every rep. Bonus: it’s super easy to put together.
Marcy Flat Utility Weight Bench
Don’t need the versatility of an angled bench? Go for this more affordable version, sturdy enough to support you during both upper-body moves and lower-body moves like step-ups.

Need to get some aggression out? These durable balls are designed for being thrown, smashed, and otherwise destroyed in some of your favourite CrossFit exercises. Splurge for two weights – you’ll want a heavier one for when you inevitably progress to tougher moves.

Winter weather be damned! Get your sweat on without going to the gym or hitting the trail on your new, compact elliptical. Increase the intensity by dialing up the magnetic resistance – you’ll notice your heart rate rising in no time.
