An Exercise ball
If money is tight then you may want to be super thrifty and opt for an exercise/yoga ball. These handy balls deflate for space-saving and some can be under a tenner. They are however very versatile and can be used for a huge number of strength improving exercises as well as toning that is second to none.
It’s also a fantastic tool for yoga, Pilates and stretching, allowing you to safely warm up your body. Pregnant ladies can also use this to help with discomfort during the late stages of pregnancy. For something as simple as a rubber ball one of these offers a ton of uses. We got ours from Amazon.
A Treadmill
If your fitness goals focus on cardio but you’ve never really liked to run in nature then a treadmill may be just what you’re looking for, although you will need a little more free space to house one. The model we’ve chosen is the Reebok I Run 3.0 treadmill, we found it in the Sports Direct sale. It was £899.99 and now it's price has been slashed to just £799.99 which is an incredible saving and a truly great deal. We love the sleek design and think it’s well worth the investment.
The running platform is cleverly designed to take the impact off the joints and there are 12 pre-set workout modes to suit your required activity requirements and abilities. Another plus is that comes delivered fully assembled so you simply unpack and workout without having to bother about putting it together. Visit Sports Direct today and have a look.

A Fitness Tracker
We’ve recently had a look at some of the best fitness trackers and had to include our favourite on this list. That the Fitbit Versa 2 in copper Rose colour. This one is from Boots and costs £199.99
We love the size and shape of the watch face and that fact that you can keep track of texts and calls while you work out without having to have your phone one you. It also monitors your heart rate, is sweat resistance, recognises over 15 exercises, has built-in GPS, tracks your sleep cycles, has a build-in Alexa and allows you to pay with Fitbit Pay. Is there anything this smartwatch can’t do? We didn’t think so. Buy one today and kick your fitness journey up another notch.
