When curating a home gym, we keep it simple by choosing hand weights, resistance bands, a stability ball, a workout bench and a yoga mat. Each of these items take up very little space in your home (we hear you, studio apartment dwellers), and all of them come in handy for efficient, total-body workouts.

So what are you waiting for? Stock up and get to sweating! Plus: Three bonus recovery items that will save your life and the app that will take your fitness to the next level.

Our favorite includes ½-inch padding and extra length to ensure maximum comfort.
