16 Amazon Purchases That Boost Your Home Workout Game For Under $20

On October 7, the USPS refuted any claims to Rolling Stone that Amazon Prime Day would impact the timely delivery of 2020 mail-in ballots

Some people thrive with a home workout routine. There are so many YouTube videos full of helpful instruction and step-by-step guides that allow you to bring almost any workout to your living room, assuming you have the right equipment. While this doesn't work for everyone, many of us have adapted our previous workout preferences to a home workout routine thanks to many gyms and studios being partially (or fully) closed thanks to coronavirus (COVID-19).

That being said, there are plenty of fairly cheap things you can add to your home workout set-up to elevate your home workout routine and bring a little more of that "studio feel" to your living room.

1. Yoga blocks

A yoga mat is a fantastic start to your zen environment, but if you're looking to grow in your yoga abilities, yoga blocks can act as a helpful tool for transitioning into more balance-oriented movements.

2. Kettlebell

Kettlebells are a great way to incorporate weights into your home workout. They're fairly small and easy to store while making a huge impact whenever you decided to add them to things like squats, deadlifts, and lunges.

3. Ankle/wrist weights

What seem like "easy" arm and leg workouts aren't as simple with the small addition of ankle/wrist weights. Even a one- or two-pound difference can quickly tone those muscles!

4. Quick-dry towel

Even if you're at home, those YouTube workouts can get sweaty!

5. Dumbbell

Getting tired of using those wine bottles or canned goods for arm day? Maybe it's time to actually buy a dumbbell.

6. Jump rope

Mixing up your cardio routine is easy when you have a jump rope handy.

7. Yoga ball

Trade in that work from home couch seat with a yoga ball. Who says you can't work on your balance while you're killing it at work?

8. Running vest

If you need to run early in the morning or late at night, you need a reflective running vest to make sure you're safe.

9. Resistance bands

Add a little more pizazz to those leg lifts and squats with a resistance band.

10. Medicine ball

Medicine balls aren't just the big, clunky things you see at the gym. You can add a smaller, still incredibly effective medicine ball to your home routine, too!

11. Interlocking tiles

Tired of working out on that hardwood floor or carpet? Get some stackable, interlocking mat tiles to elevate your workout space (and then easily store when you're done).

12. Foam roller

Just because you're working out at home doesn't mean you can skip the cool-down! Help soften that soreness with a foam roller.

13. Pull-up bar

Turn one of your doors into a helpful workout tool, with this multi-purposed pull-up bar.

14. Sliders

Make mountain climbers a little more challenging by adding sliders! It doesn't matter if you're working with carpet or hardwood floors, these sliders are double-sided and ready for either surface.

15. Ab roller

Work on your balance and core strength by incorporating an ab roller into your workout.

16. Personal blender

You may not be able to hit up the studio juice bar after your workout anymore, but that doesn't mean you can't blend up a smoothie at home!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
