Let’s be realistic, and understand that you will not lose all that extra pounds by an ab belt or a shake weight. If you wish to see a change in your body, while being in the comfort of your home, you have to get serious about it. For this, you should pick the best budget home gym equipment, which is multi-purpose and time-tested. 

Best budget home gym equipment – Less than $100

• Jump rope
  All of us know what a jump rope is. We loved using it when we were in school. The best thing about a jump rope is that you can get it at less than $20. Despite being so affordable, they give you an intense cardio workout. It is quite versatile so you can do it at any place, such as your backyard, terrace, or garden. However, jumping rope is not easy. Do not expect to be a pro and start with a half-hour cardio routine with just your rope. You can mix it with other routines or do 60 seconds of skipping, followed by 60 seconds of rest. Try to do 350-500 every day for quicker results.

• The step or flat bench
  One of the best things about an incline/decline bench is that you can use it either as one plyometric box, a sturdy, raised platform for jumping, or step-up exercises, or use it as a chest press. This one is affordable and a classic step tool for aerobics. In short, it performs three functions – step aerobics, low height plyometric box, and a bench. Available at a price range of $45 to $90, this one is a steal, given its rich diversity.

• Medicine balls
  Quite honestly, we do not suggest you spend a bomb on the complete set of balls. However, buying only two or three of them would do the needful. Medicine balls are weight balls, about the size of a basketball or a soccer ball, but heavier. You can find them in varying weights from two pounds to 30 pounds. These are ideal weights for doing the ab workout. Anyone who wishes to work on their upper body can invest in medicine balls. You can either do to and fro workout with a partner using the medicine balls or throw it against the wall for a perfect upper body workout. It is good to start with weighted balls of four or eight pounds, and these might cost you somewhere around $20 to $45, depending on the weight chosen by you.

• Dumbbells
  If we are talking about the best budget home gym equipment,   how can   we not include dumbbells on the list? They are affordable, and you can easily incorporate any exercise with them if you know how to use them right. Dumbbells can be incredibly helpful in building complete body strength. Now the pricing of dumbbells is variable and depends on the brand and the weight opted by you. Shop around to grab the best price.
