Best Portable Exercise Equipment


The best portable exercise equipment can help you burn more fat and tone your body faster. Mainly because you can use it anywhere but also because using portable fitness gear can help you focus on fat burning exercises that actually work.

Stick with the Best Portable Exercise Equipment

The best portable fitness gear must be practical, versatile, and affordable items that you can tuck into a small gym bag, a portable storage bin/bag in your home (see mine below), or pack in a travel bag when headed out of town. It must also force you to stick to the best fat burning workouts and exercises so that you actually see visible results from your workouts. This guarantees that you will feel motivated to stick with your workouts no matter how busy or stressed you get.

Some of the best portable exercise equipment includes resistance bands with handles, flat bands, mini bands, gliding discs, small weighted fitness balls, jump rope, and an interval timer. Not so great choices include portable stair steppers or portable elliptical trainers, core and balance devices, inflatable gear and portable Pilates gear. Keep in mind that it’s o.k. to use any gear for your workouts but if your goal is to burn more fat and tone up fast you must stick with the most effective gear for most of your workouts.

Portable Fitness Gear Tips, Exercises & Workouts That Work

Once you have the best fitness gear it’s important that you stick with exercises that work to sculpt a lean toned body. Remember that it’s o.k. to do the occasional resistance band curl, weighted ball triceps kickback or fun gliding disc snow angels but most of your workouts need to focus on body toning exercises that also burn tons of fat vs. isolation exercises that "spot reduce" and burn a few calories. Keep in mind that a lean toned body is a result of less body fat and lean muscle. Being toned has nothing to do with spot reduction; the biggest fitness myth around. Here are a few more portable workout tips to help you get started with exercises that work.

Combine total body toning exercise and isolation moves into one exercise: Perform a gliding disc pushup plank knee tuck then set the knees down and perform a close grip triceps pushup and alternate back and forth between both. This isolates your triceps but also works your back, abs and shoulders.

Combine your fitness gear into complex exercises that feel like cardio and toning all in one: Hold a small weighted ball and perform a gliding disc curtsey lunge or gliding disc lateral lunge with ball chop, touching the ball to the floor and then driving it up overhead or with ball overhead the entire time. Works your entire core, arms, shoulders and back, isolates the glutes, and burns tons more calories than doing all those exercises separately.

Time your fat burning body toning exercises so that you’re packing as much intensity into your workout as possible: Try a circuit of the two exercises above as well as resistance band row with reverse lunge and resistance band squat with curls and overhead press. Perform each exercise for 45 seconds going from one to the next without rest and repeat 3-4 more times. The more work you can do in less time the harder your body has to work and the more fat you burn during the workout and the 48 hour recovery period after you exercise.
