If your goal is to move more at home, you don’t need to set up an elaborate basement gym with all-new equipment, or even a ton of space. Instead, a few small, relatively inexpensive, and easy-to-store additions can make a big difference in your workout routine.
Take, for instance, jump ropes: Few pieces of exercise equipment offer a better cardio workout. They can also help improve endurance, speed, and agility.
We’ve tested two dozen. This is the best jump rope→

If you don’t like the feeling of something plugging up your ears, consider this hook-over-the-ear pair. It provides a comfortable fit, clear calls, and built-in hands-free control. Plus, it’s waterproof and lightweight enough for sweaty workouts.
These headphones are currently the cheapest we’ve ever seen them→

Our favorite walking pad slots underneath your desk, making it easy to take steps while you click-clack away. And we like that it’s light enough to move around.
