RIZVOL arrives in India: The quiet power of global luxury
VMPL New Delhi [India], June 10: In a fashion landscape often dominated by immediacy and spectacle, RIZVOL arrives as a welcome contradiction, a brand that doesn't rush, doesn't shout, and most importantly, doesn't follow. Launched in New York by entrepreneur and cultural observer Abhishek Shah, Rizvol is now making its India debut, bringing with it a vision of luxury that is globally minded, timelessly designed, and intimately made. At its core, Rizvol isn't just a fashion label, it's a philosophy in motion. One that values restraint over excess, process over pace, and detail over drama. The clothes are serene in their construction, but rich in narrative: buttons crafted from Japanese Mother of Pearl, fabrics from renowned European mills, and silhouettes refined over more than 200 prototypes before they ever meet a wardrobe. "We believe there's a growing appetite in India for something quieter, more intentional," says Shah. "We want to be the brand people turn to when they no longer need to announce themselves, because Rizvol is about presence, not performance." That perspective was born from Shah's own cross-continental path. Raised in India, educated in California and New York, and deeply influenced by Milan's quiet elegance, Shah's relationship with style began not in showrooms, but at home watching his father treat dressing as an act of quiet dignity. The label's name itself -- Rizvol -- is inspired by the Italian word risvolto, the cuff of a garment. A small detail, yes, but one that completes the story. Much like the brand's approach to design: precise, purposeful, and poetic. Rizvol's entrance into India comes at a time when the market is evolving, from appetite-driven consumption to experience-led ownership. The brand's recently launched Indian website, reflects this shift. It's more than a shopping portal; it's a tactile, narrative-driven digital space where fabrics are described in warp and weft, and packaging is treated as thoughtfully as the garment it carries. "If something takes 200 samples to get right, we'll take the time," says Shah. "We're not here to flood closets -- we're here to create garments that stay with people." At a time when the fashion cycle moves faster than ever, Rizvol makes a bold case for clarity, craftsmanship, and clothing that endures, not just in fabric, but in feeling.

27 Fitness Products If You Wanna Break A Sweat At Home During Your Lunch Break
1. A 10-in-1 exercise kit perfect if you feel completely lost when it comes to exercising and don't wanna have to spend hours researching a ton of different products just to get started (because that's basically a workout already). This comes with basically everything you'll need to get a quick full body workout from the comfort of your own home. The kit comes with an ab roller, a foam knee mat, two resistance bands, two push-up grip bars, two wrist wraps, an 8-shaped resistance band, a jump rope, and a guide book so you'll be ready to hit the ground running as soon as this hits your doorstep. Promising reviews:"It's a great product and I recommend it to everyone who wants to work out at home. Very easy to use but gives a great result." — John-Bosco "I was looking for an ab roller and saw this one that came with push-up bars and went with it. This wheel is wide and the handlebar is thick and comfortable to rest your hand on the bar while doing the exercise, and the wide wheel gives a good balance. Also, the knee pad is a bonus. This well-organized kit provides good equipment for beginners and routine users, it comes with a band that can be attached to the wheel which makes it easier to pull back. And the push-up bars are a great addition! I'm very happy with this purchase." — Abhishek Shah Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two colors). 2. A reversible yoga mat designed to help prevent your hands from sliding all around if they get sweaty. This is a great thing to have whether you want to do yoga or are just trying to set up an official space for all your floor exercises. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Genevieve Scarano says, "I work out at home a lot, so it's important for me to have an exercise mat that's cushy, sturdy, and easy to roll up and put away. I received this Gaiam yoga mat as a sample and really enjoy using it for yoga and Pilates! It's so comfortable to stand, sit, and lay down on, and I don't have to worry about sliding around, thanks to a grippy material. It's also fun to flip the sides (my mat above came with light blue and dark blue sides) — I've never had a yoga mat with this design before! And if you don't have a lot of space, no worries, because this mat rolls up to a compact size when you're done exercising." Promising review: "I got this mat for at-home fitness and yoga. I have a fancy mat for hot yoga classes but wanted something more low-key for other days of the week. This mat provides great cushion and is not slippery! I was surprised that it felt just as great as some of my more expensive mats. I would totally recommend it!" — P.J. Get it from Amazon for $26.42+ (available in two sizes, three thicknesses, and six colors). 3. Or an illustrated yoga mat if you're interested in actually learning the poses but have no idea where to start when someone says, "Warrior three!" Now, instead of googling every different thing, you can just quickly glance down and see what position you're heading to next. The mat is 24' wide x 68" long and 5 mm thick! It's made with a moisture-wicking material that'll keep sweat at bay and is great for hot yoga, too. Promising review:"I absolutely love this and so does my 7-year-old! He and I enjoy doing the poses on the mat and it helps me figure out which is being referred to by name. It's a great thickness although I still use my kneeling pad for my old knees! Lol, this had no funny smells, was packages secure and arrived on time! As a beginner in the yoga world, this is perfect for staying on track and not feeling totally lost!! I would definitely buy again!" — NCgrowninPA Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in three colors). 4. A door anchor that'll turn a closed door into a makeshift workout machine. Just loop in a long fabric resistance band and get started with tricep pushdowns, glute kickbacks, seated rows, and so much more. Basically, you can get a full-body workout with just these two items!! Bicah By Chloe is a woman-owned small biz specializing in creating useful and beautiful workout equipment! To use the door anchor, simply put the ball end between the door and the frame, loop a long band through, and close the door. You'll have an easy and secure piece of workout equipment ready for use. Get it from Bicah By Chloe for $10. 5. A dumbbell set perfect if you're just starting out, cause you'll get three weights to experiment with while you learn how strong you are. 💪🏻 This set comes with 3-, 5-, and 8-pound weights. Promising review:"This dumbbell set is great for anyone looking to do some home workouts. The neoprene coating is comfortable and easy to grip. They are also very durable — I dropped the 8-lb on the ground cause I tripped on my own feet, and there wasn't even a mark on it (unlike my floor). I also really like the hexagon shape since I don't have to worry about them rolling away between sets. I haven't noticed any uneven weight distribution or balance issues either. Even though I bought the 3-lb, 5-lb, and 8-lb set it would be easy and affordable to add more dumbbells that match in higher weights when I'm ready. The stand is a little flimsy so you have to be careful when grabbing or putting away a weight, but it's held up so far and does the job." — Rachel Fuji Get the three-pair set from Amazon for $39.99 (available in 15 other versions — single sets, pairs, an a variety of weights). 6. A set of fabric hip-resistance bands to add a little extra ~spice~ to your glute bridges or to help assist you while you attempt push-ups (which are SO hard for no reason). You can do alllll kinds of workouts for basically any muscle group with these, so def a good investment even if you don't want any other supplies. Warrior Fit Soul is an Etsy shop based in New Jersey that offers a variety of fitness products. Each band is a different resistance: pink peach is light, peach is medium, and strawberry is heavy. Promising review: "I bought this set as well as the long resistance bands! Both great quality! Give this store a chance, the bands are so cute, they also come with a small bag so you can easily store them in your gym bag or just carry them around!" — Carmen Get a set of three from Warrior Fit Soul on Etsy for $39.99 (available in two lengths). 7. Adjustable Bala Bangles, which may not seem like much, but once you add these to your wrists or ankles, you will *definitely* notice a difference. Each weighs either one or two pounds and can give you a little extra ~oomph~ during the bodyweight exercises you do during lunch. TBH you could prob throw these on and make typing a weighted exercise, too! Just wrap them on your wrists or ankles for some added weight. BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves these bangles and said: "I've bought, used, and then promptly forgotten about wrist/ankle weights before but I ADORE these. They're really nice looking (as you can see) and I've never had trouble with them coming off my wrists or ankles during HIIT workouts." Read more of her Bala Bangles review (it's #7). Get them from Amazon or Bala (available in three weights and six colors) for $55+. 8. Or a pair of adjustable ankle weights with five removable bags so you can easily add or subtract resistance based on the specific exercise. These offer you SO much versatility to use all the weight for your legs or only a bag or two on your arms when they just need a dang break. Promising reviews: "These are perfect for travel/in home workouts. I use them for lower AND upper body workouts. I have hand injury that leaves me unable to grasp weights so I can attach these to my arms for light upper body workout!" — Lisa mcallister "Wow, these really changed my workout! Much more comfortable and useful than the standard ankle weights you find. These are wider so they go more onto your calf. Rugged construction and versatile with modular weights. A must-have for anyone who bores easy and needs something to add an edge." — Saintvoodoo Get them from Amazon $23.99+ (available in 14 weights and 16 colors/styles). 9. A no-slip leather medicine ball to add some spice you didn't know you needed to your ab routine. How many crunches do you think you can complete on your 30-minute break? Take a bite, do a crunch, take a bite, do a crunch... Amazon, Promising reviews:"Bought this to add to my home gym equipment. The ball is well made and holding up well. Perfect for Russian twists or ball slams!" — Wolfsunn " The best medicine ball I've ever purchased! I've been using these balls at my gym for over a year. Every time we need to add more equipment I order these — there's no need to even look at other brands. Ball slams, core exercises, wall balls — you name it, this product will deliver. Over time you may notice sand leaking if you do a lot of ball slams with them, but it took several months and thousands of slams for me to ever notice leakage (which is to be expected with this construction). It is so versatile and the perfect size. This repeat customer would recommend these for any gym or home gym!" — Casey Get it from Amazon for $18.50+ (available in eight different weights, from 4–22 pounds and eight colors). 10. Or a mini Pilates ball that can add stability or tonsss of extra shakes. Need some help with range of motion? Put this behind your back as a little support. But if you wanna work muscles you didn't even know you had, try sticking this between your legs while you do squats, or under your tailbone for some deep ab work. Amazon, Promising reviews:"The URBNFit Small Exercise Ball is a versatile and durable tool for enhancing workouts. Its 9-inch size is perfect for Pilates, yoga, and barre exercises, helping to improve balance, core strength, and flexibility. The included fitness guide is helpful for beginners, and the ball's non-slip surface ensures stability during workouts. A great addition to any home gym!" — PMS "I really love this Pilates ball. It's super easy to inflate and use straight out of the box. It comes with directions on the different ways you can use the ball, and I found this really helpful as this is a new way of exercising for me. My Pilates instructor suggested I purchase one, and I am glad I did." — kahuna Girl Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three colors). 11. A compact stationary bike you connect your phone to so you can play interactive games that are controlled by your pedaling and steering. Because why ride a regular bike when you can ride this while simultaneously skiing down a double black diamond slope?! I have this bike and love how compact and easy it is to move. The handlebars also move side to side so you can add in some upper body work to a traditionally lower body-focused workout. The games are a great way to distract you from the workout and help time pass faster, which I particularly love when I am struggling through a tiring workout. Promising review: "Easy assembly, Very solid bike, lightweight, easy to move and not super bulky. One of the best deals out there in stationary bikes. It compares with the feel of a $600 bike. Cycling is usually so boring, but the games are fun and engaging so time passes quickly, even my teenage athlete has enjoyed using it! I love how it also incorporates the upper body with the handlebars - I will definitely use this bike every day." — Bryanna Get it from Amazon for $299. 12. A balance board to elevate your planks or work on your core stability. This gives the same vibes as a Bosu ball but doesn't take up nearly as much space (not to mention it's wayyyy cheaper). Amazon, It is designed to support up to 265 lbs and has a non-slip surface for added grip. Promising reviews: "This is a solid piece of equipment its sturdiness and ease of use makes it a staple in my home gym. It has a grip tape surface and stores nicely. Has a great weight to and necessary to improve your balance with its use. Has guidelines on how to use it properly." — scooterXXX "Bought this on a whim but I've been using more than expected. It is very solid and supports my 230 lbs easily. The black part of the board has excellent grip and makes it easy to use. It ended up being a good purchase to motivate me to simply stand on this while I watch TV instead of sitting on the couch more at night. Good for balance and improving core strength." — John W. Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 13. A jump rope with a digital counter (welcome to the future!!) so you can keep track of your record and try to beat yourself every day. And it doesn't require you focusing enough to remember you were at 58 not 32, because multitasking is hard!! Promising reviews:"I purchased this jump rope to help create inspiration for my home workouts and also to keep track of my daily jumps. I appreciate seeing how many jumps I need to try and match each day. It gives me a feeling of accomplishment when I see those numbers rising every time I try it! The jump rope is easy to program and shuts off automatically. After about six weeks of regular use, the rope and hardware are still working like a charm!" — SB "I am impressed with this product! It's super lightweight, easy to use and hold, and has made working out fun again! The buttons are easy to use, it took less than a minute to set up, and it keeps track of how many jumps and feels comfortable in the hands. I find myself using it daily and since the handles keep track of how many jumps, I try to break the previous day's records! Definitely would recommend!" — cassandra Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five colors). 14. A pack of bodyweight and dumbbell exercise cards perfect for anyone who isn't sure where to get started. Not only will this give you inspiration, but it'll break down how to do each exercise in case you've never heard of it before. This is also great if you've already started a routine but are getting bored of doing the same thing in the same order every single time. Palace Learning is a small business creating educational, anatomy, art, and fitness posters. Each card explains how to do the workout and says how many reps to do based on if you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced. Promising reviews:"Perfect for at-home workouts! So many workouts to choose from! It keeps workouts from getting boring. Instructions and illustrations are easy to follow." — Melissa C Forshey "I love these cards! I get bored of doing the same workouts over and over and then lose my motivation, but with these, it's easy to quickly change up your routine. I love the art style of the illustrations (ones with faces creep me out!) and the detail on the back of the cards, explaining how to properly do the exercise, as well as what muscles are targeted, and the amount of reps to aim for. I've been choosing about six cards to lay on the bench/floor, and then pairing them with an app which automatically times my intervals for me, and it keeps me focused for the full length of my workout!" — Alanna Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 15. A set of color-coded resistance bands, which are a grand alternative to bulky (and expensive) weights. You may not think these could add much to your workout, but the name ain't lying, they really do add a lot of resistance! This set includes five bands of different weights: yellow is 10 lbs, blue is 20 lbs, green is 30 lbs, black is 40 lbs, and red is 50 lbs, you can also stack them all together to make a maximum of 150 lbs. Plus, you get two handles, a door anchor, and a user manual. Promising review:"I was hesitant at first due to the number of resistance bands out there. However, I was able to use these in my basement with little to no issue at all and they have been a blessing. I started with the 40-pound bands and quickly moved up to the 60-pound bands and they are incredible. The variety of workouts I have been able to get done in my home without the hassle of leaving the house and the efficiency is awesome. I've had a great experience thus far and look forward to seeing even more results as I continue to use these." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $26.97+ (available in 12 other set options). 16. Core sliders that may become your best frenemy. These will add ~zing~ to planks, push-ups, mountain climbers, lunges, and sooo much more. Just put these under your hands or feet to add some easy, gliding movement to your exercise. For example, you could get into a plank, put these under your toes, and slide your feet in and out to add some movement to an otherwise still position. Promising reviews:"These are a great value for what I spent on them! They slide nicely on the floor and are a great added tool for my at-home Pilates workouts. They slip a little bit out from under my feet with socks on, but work great with bare feet and shoes." — Cheryl Moore "I've been using these sliders for almost a month now, and they are great. I have used them both barefoot and with shoes on with no issues. They work well on carpet, rugs, and tile. For the tile, I flip them over so the soft side is facing down, that way nothing gets scratched. So far they have provided great results with my workouts, I use them almost every day. They seem so simple and easy, but they provide intense workouts when used properly." — Ashly Get them from Amazon for $9.95 (available in four colors). 17. Wrist buddy yoga blocks, which are a huge upgrade from the regular blocks that are already super helpful for beginners. This version has a cutout design to help make it 60% more comfortable on your wrists while also helping to maximize your stability. Wrist Buddy is a small business founded by a chiropractor who pivoted to creating ergonomic fitness products to elevate your workout routine! Promising review:"These blocks have been awesome for my yoga practice!! It makes so much sense for yoga blocks to conform to the shape of your hand instead of being just a square block. I broke my left wrist several years ago and recently sprained it playing tennis. Using the Wrist Buddy yoga blocks instead of my usual ones puts a lot less strain on my wrist — and I feel much more comfortable and confident in the poses. Plus, I can do poses with these blocks that I couldn't before because of the support they provide. I have recommended them to my friends!!" — Katharine O'Donovan Get a two-pack from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in four colors). 18. Ring Fit Adventure for the Nintendo Switch you already have, but never knew you could use like this. Put a spin on your video game sesh by defeating a dragon and his minions using actual workouts — jogging in place to get to your next challenge, shoulder presses to attack enemies, and yoga poses to refill your health meter. Amazon, Amazon It comes with the ring and leg strap. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga says: "This may seem like a childish adventure from Nintendo, but JEEZ within moments I'm sweating my butt off. To play, you'll place a JoyCon into both the ring con and a leg strap so your movements are monitored. To move through each level you have to physically run in place and each time you 'battle' an enemy you have to do 15 reps of an exercise of your choosing. For example, each time I complete a squat the enemy receives a 'kick.' It's so fun I don't realize I'm working out until the game reminds me to take a break and have some water. It even monitors your heart rate for you. It's more intense than you'd expect!" Promising review: "I love this game; it's fun, unique, and definitely a workout. I've been playing this on my lunch break all week. I'm sore, it makes me sweat, but it's also a great game. It tracks your calorie count, how your workouts compare day-over-day, etc. Excellent option for someone who likes to game, but hates the idea of going to a gym." — Benton Frisse Get it from Amazon for $64.99. 19. A portable elliptical if you wanna get some cardio at home without the hefty price tag or space requirement of traditional ellipticals. You can easily pull this out to use it and then shove it in a corner, closet, or under the bed when you're done for the day. It's also great to put in front of the TV so you can watch your fave shows to distract from the fact that you've been sweating for 20 minutes. Promising reviews:"I love this machine. Very easy to put together. Very easy directions. Small enough to put in any room and to move from place to place. Smooth operation, easy-to-read display, and tension control. I love being able to use this machine in my living room while watching TV. It makes zero noise and is great for a beginner to use. I have not had other home ellipticals, but this is a very economical trainer. I didn't have a problem with maintaining my balance and not having handles to hold onto, but I did make sure that I was near a wall or dining room chair just in case." — Babs "I am not one to take time to write a review, but I LOVE THIS! It takes a few minutes to get used to the balance, but I walk in a backward motion on it all the time now. I seem to go faster and smoother in a reverse motion. It had a slight squeak when I first got it, but no longer, it's quiet and so compact. I jump on anytime and watch TV or Netflix. I've exercised on and off my whole life, this is by far my favorite machine ever!! I look forward to getting on and catching up with the news or whatever is on TV, but not just sitting there and being able to exercise at the same time is so easy now. I'm ordering a second one today to keep in my bedroom when my children take over the basement with their friends and my elliptical. Don't hesitate to buy this — you won't regret it!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $114.99+ (available in four colors). 20. Or a foldable elliptical glider, which is a great middle-ground option if you still want the handles of the traditional version but the flexibility to not need a whole dedicated gym space. Not only will this help with your cardio fitness level, but it'll work your arms, legs, and core! Amazon, The non-slip pedals make it easy to control whether you want to go at a slow walking speed or a faster running speed. It has an LCD monitor that displays the workout time, total stride count, and calories burned. Promising review: "I've had my Air Walk Trainer Elliptical Machine Glider for over a month now. I use it on the days I am not able to go to the gym and I absolutely love it. Best part about it is I can exercise in the comfort of my home and watch TV while doing so. I assembled it on my own and was very easy to do so. I highly recommend this elliptical to anyone who is looking for a good and inexpensive piece of exercise equipment. Also, another plus, it does not take up much space at all." — Sonia Cavazos-Valdez Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in two styles). 21. An exercise ball which can double as a posture-improving chair when you aren't using it for your workouts. It's especially great because, depending on the exercise, this can make it easier or spice it up and make it harder. This comes with a pump and two air plugs. There is also a free, mobile-friendly guide included. Promising review:"I bought this stability ball for at-home workouts. By the time I got home from work, my husband had the ball inflated and ready for me to use. He did not have any problems inflating or plugging it up. I have used it a couple of times and so far it has performed to my satisfaction. It feels like the ones I used at the gym in regards to the vinyl thickness." — Terah A. eden Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five sizes and 10 colors). 22. A sturdy foam roller perfect for rolling out those tight muscles from all the workouts you've been doing recently. Yes, if you're really sore, it can hurt for a little, but breathe through the pain for a minute and you'll be feeling sweet, sweet relief. Amazon, Learn more about foam rolling and its benefits at Cleveland Clinic. Promising reviews:"Absolutely love this roller. I've been wanting one for home use for a while and this one is perfect. The colors of it are just a bonus to well it works! It's easy to clean and store. I work out five days a week and this does the job on my sore muscles." — "Nothing has been helping. From running, to walking uphill both ways to work (yes, this is possible), to wearing heels all day, my calves were tight. Nothing has been working. This roller was a godsend. I actually have more mobility after using it than traditional stretching, and I think there was a knot in each calf that it worked out. This is a must-have." — Raven Get it from Amazon for $30.82+ (available in four colors). 23. An Obé Fitness membership if you want that instructor vibe in the comfort of your own home. They've got barre, cardio boxing, HIIT, sculpt, yoga, strength training, and more. On-demand classes range from 5–60 minutes, so no matter what you're feeling, there's a workout for you. They even have live classes every day! Obé Fitness, Abby Kass/BuzzFeed As a web- and app-based service, Obé Fitness can be accessed on a computer, smartphone, or TV.

My colleague Abby Kass uses Obé Fitness and said: "I started using Obé and then went back to my old at-home workout and switched back to Obé again because I realized I liked it so much. The classes are a great workout, yet the 28 minutes go by super fast, and I'm not counting down the minutes till it's over. You don't technically need any equipment for the workout, but you can level up with simple equipment, such as a resistance loop, weights, and sliders." Read more of her Obé Fitness review. Get it from Obé Fitness for $24.99+ (monthly and annual memberships available). 24. A TRX suspension training system, which is basically a full body workout with one little strap. Once you try this out, you'll unlock so many exercises you didn't think you could do at home — deep squats, intense suspended planks, incline push-ups, and SO much more. This is also an incredible option for anyone who travels a lot, cause you can just pack it up, bring it with you, and anchor it to a door or any sturdy surface (like a beam or thick tree branch). Amazon It comes with a suspension training strap, indoor/outdoor anchors, two workout guides, a training poster, and a mesh bag. Promising reviews:"I'm going on a long vacation soon and wanted a way to continue my workouts without having to rely on hotel gyms or daily gym memberships. I've used the TRX system a few times before, and it's very easy to learn for beginners. It works great with the door mount and very portable. It can easily fit into a small backpack. It also comes with the suspension hanger to use on any sturdy support (eg, tree branch, monkey bars)." — James D "I don't always have the time/inclination to go to the gym, and having this at home allows me to get in a proper workout without leaving the house. It's just a fun way to try new things and use muscles that you wouldn't be able to otherwise. I can't do pistol squats in real life, but I can with this thing! It's incredibly easy to use and to adjust." — Cersar Get it from Amazon for $139.95. 25. A set of adjustable dumbbells that can grow with you as you become more comfortable in your workout routine. They start at 2.3 pounds each and can go up to 4.5 pounds, so your bicep curls and tricep kickbacks can start to feel spicy. 🥵 Each dumbbell weighs 2.3 pounds alone and comes with four weight blocks (each weigh 0.55 pounds). If you want to increase weight, it's so easy: just add a weight block to each side of the dumbbell and you'll be good to go! Promising reviews:"I really want to work out my upper arms more so I was looking for weights to work out with at home. I am a beginner with weights so for me these are the perfect amount of weights for that. I will say I have large hands so I do not know how comfortable it would be for others with smaller hands the longer they use these. I like them!" — Carina Farfan "I've been looking online for weights to do at-home workouts. I also didn't want to have to buy five sets of dumbbells for different weights, so I was ecstatic to find these. You get five different weight levels with this one set of dumbbells. Very happy with this purchase and I'd highly recommend." — Ashley Scanlan 26. And if you outgrow those, a set of heavier adjustable dumbbells to kick up your strength training even more. These may seem expensive, but they're actually a great deal compared to buying six dumbbell pairs. Not to mention the space they'll save since you'll only have two weights instead of 12 surrounding you during your lift. Each dumbbell weighs between 2.5 lbs and 15 lbs with six different weight options. Promising reviews:" These are perfect for my home workouts. There are several weights combined into one and they work so well! It is fast and easy to move between each weight amount." — Marco "Best adjustable dumbbells for beginners. I love my PowerUp dumbbells. They are so easy to use and convenient. They are just what I wanted. I have now started a regular exercise routine that I have delayed for many years. I use them every other day and can feel my arms getting stronger already. So far this is the best product I've ever purchased." — Bronxboy Get a set of two from Amazon for $126.09+ (available in four versions). 27. A Pilates ring that might not seem like much, but actually adds a whole heckuva lot to your arm, core, and leg sessions. Stick this bad boy between your legs, and you'll feel it in your inner thighs like you didn't even know possible!! Honestly, you can do sooo many moves and target all kinds of muscles with this one simple accessory. Amazon This comes with a carrying pouch and exercise chart. Promising reviews:"Just went to a Pilates class last week and used one of these Pilates rings. I immediately knew I wanted one, so I ordered this one from Amazon, and it works great! Now I can do it from home!" — Elle Christensen "The foam and padding are comfortable and there are no signs of early wear and tear yet. It doesn't make any weird squeaking, creaking, or crackling noises and it feels sturdy. The resistance isn't comparable to a weighted piece of equipment but, compared to a metal product, the fiberglass ring still provides an ample workout, especially for a beginner like myself." — Nikki
