The best way to workout is to find a gym or use the great outdoors.
If you need to exercise in your small living space because of exorbitant gym prices or bad weather, though, don't worry. There are ways to work up a good sweat (and no, doing push-ups until you drop is not the only way).
Whether it's by working out with diminutive equipment or just with equipment that packs well into your closet — if there's a will, there's a workout.
Below, we've assembled some of the best equipment to give you a workout all without you leaving home. See which exercises you like best, and more importantly, which are possible in your small living space.
A pull-up bar
One of the least space-consuming pieces of equipment, the Iron-Gym Pull-Up Bar just needs a door frame and then you can feel guilty every time you walk through it without doing a pull-up. The bar also doubles as a great way to subtly tell any of your guests "Hey, I workout."
Iron Gym Pull-up Bar, $23.92, available at Amazon.
Push-up stands
Since you can't fit a bench press in your apartment, one of the best ways to get a chest workout in is with the Perfect Pushup. By swiveling as you lower yourself into a push-up, you exercise more parts of the shoulder, pec, and tricep than any standard pushup could.
Perfect Pushup Elite, $29.94, available at Amazon.
A set of resistance bands
Resistance bands can be used for more than rehab and are great for mobility exercises and even full workouts with the right resistance. These can be used virtually anywhere and can be crammed right into a drawer when you're done.
Black Mountain Resistance Bands, $24.98, available at Amazon.
