25 Essentials For Comfortable Workouts at Home

If your pre-pandemic SLT (strengthen, lengthen, tone) classes are still on pause, consider investing in this souped-up Pilates reformer machine for your home. Lagree Fitness’s The Micro gives you the flexibility to work your core, legs, arms, and just about any other muscle you’re looking to tone. The bed-like machine is also long enough to hold someone up to six feet and eight inches tall. Your abs and quads will be on fire in the best way. If you’re a newbie to the Lagree workout, try an in-person class first (there are several studios around the country), or follow along with one of the brand’s free online video workouts.

Workout Clothes

Girlfriend Collective Alpine Cleo Bra

90 Degree By Reflex High Waist Power Flex Biker Shorts

There’s so much to love about this Girlfriend Collective Alpine Cleo Bra. It’s functional enough for yoga yet chic enough to wear under a jacket after class, it comes in 10 colors (Alpine shown here), and is available in sizes XXS (30-inch bust) to 6XL (60-inch bust). The lightweight fabric is made from a combination of recycled water bottles and spandex, and it includes UPF 50+ sun protection, which comes in handy if you’re working out near a window. 

Elastic-free bottoms like these 90 Degree By Reflex High-Waist Power Flex Biker Shorts will bring another level of comfort to home workouts. Choose between a five-, seven-, or nine-inch leg length and three different colors (red, green, or black) — all of which come with a side pocket that you can slip your phone into. Each length is available in sizes XS (23 to 24 inches waist) to XL (31 to 32 inches waist). 

APL Techloom Wave Sneakers

Nike React Metcon Turbo Sneakers

APL’s Techloom Wave Sneakers are ideal for medium- to high-impact workouts in your living room. The upside to exercising indoors is that you won’t have to worry about getting the all-white material dirty. But don’t let that stop you from wearing these babies during a brisk walk around your neighborhood. There’s also a cool loop on top that allows you to tuck in the laces for a clean look.

These Nike React Metcon Turbo Sneakers are made with a lightweight material that doesn’t compromise on support. A padded footbed helps absorbs shock as you run. Plus, the shoe comes in five different color combinations, like this neutral Particle Grey Black and White story, or a vibrant neon yellow to add some jolt to your jogs.
