While some gyms are still closed for the time being, many are trying to compensate at home at the expense of our precious floor space.
Especially for those who live in smaller city apartments or homes shared by roommates, pets or kids, investing in a large stationary bike or treadmill is no small feat. At-home equipment takes up a lot of real estate in your living room-turned-home-office-now-turned-gym.
In order to stay fit from the confines of your own home, there are much smaller exercise devices that still pack the punch of full-sized equipment.
From resistance bands to under-the-desk ellipticals, below is a list of all the fun-sized products to help you get fit from the comfort of your own home, no gym membership required.
