Working out on a budget can be tough. Not only are you too busy to get to the gym half the time, but you can't justify paying the membership fee, even if you had it to spare. Likewise, purchasing a treadmill and other workout machines may be out of the question for your home, whether due to lack of space or to lack of funds, or both.
Needless to say, staying in shape can be a bit of an uphill battle. As easy as it is to give up and just sleep in, though, there are some cheap methods to keeping fit that don't require a pricey gym membership or expensive equipment.
Below, we put together a list of 16 workout accessories — from sweatproof headphones to pull-up bars — you can pick up for less than $50. Have a look and get yourself moving.
MEE audio's M7P is a well-rounded fitness headphone that combines a secure fit, bass-boosted sound, and affordability. As with all good fitness headphones, it is sweatproof and durable enough for strenuous exercise.
MEE audio M7P In-Ear Headphones, $32.39.
The Tribe AB37 armband provides a nice snug fit for your phone and keys, while remaining stable on your arm. If you have a little more to spend, the Quad Lock Case is another solid option.
Tribe AB37 Water Resistant Sports Armband, $9.98.
If you're unable to make it to the gym, and you are looking for more of a chest workout than standard push ups, the Perfect Pushup Elite should fill that void. While you may think that incline push ups and other techniques can replace the bench, the moving handles of the Perfect Pushup provide a better full-upper-body workout than these other body weight options.
Perfect Pushup Elite, $22.23.
