We've become at-home-workout devotees, and while we love all the bodyweight exercises that are available to us anytime, anywhere, there are a few pieces of equipment that can take our sweat sessions to the next level. These items don't have to be expensive or cumbersome; adding in a resistance band or ankle weight, even if it's just one pound, can make a world of difference. If you're looking to upgrade your home workout setup, you've got to check out the active essentials from Free People.
True to form, the brand has curated a collection of workout accessories that not only perform, but also look so aesthetically pleasing. Lots of these picks are tiny enough to store in a drawer or under your couch, but they're so cute, you might not want to. From light weights and yoga mats to a full boxing setup, these are the pieces we'd recommend adding to your space. Keep on reading to shop our picks!
