I want everyone to please try this if you have IBS or other problems! You will not regret it!" —Stacey75Price: $24.99 A Blogilates ponytail cap that's specifically designed for those of us with long locks of hair. (Like, hello, finally!!) The back of the hat has a wide open space that can accommodate either a high or low pony, meaning you can stylishly keep your hair off your neck AND the sun off your face all in one go. Promising review: "I've always hated wearing hats/headbands, but decided to get this one for a trip to Hawaii. I wore it pretty much every time I went out and loved this hat.

My mom actually stole my first one, so I'm pretty sure she likes it too." —EPrice: $12.99 A rose-scented sugar scrub so you can exfoliate any lingering dry, post-winter skin to baby-soft smoothness.

I've run it for several allergy seasons now, and the difference is phenomenal. I feel like my house is my safe space now! I've bought one for every floor of my house. The filters are a little expensive, but they last a long time — even in a house with three dogs. Definitely recommend!" —DannaPrice: $69.99 (originally $89.99) An easy-to-use Dermaplaning razor to help you tidy up unruly eyebrow hairs and get rid of pesky peach fuzz. Best of all, the little micro-guards will keep you from accidentally nicking yourself. Promising review: "Easy to use, leaves skin silky soft, no issues with nicking skin." —RxPharmGirlPrice: $5.99 for a three-pack Create Your Own Calm, a journal with inspiring quotes and activities designed to help reduce anxiety and "create your own calm."

Better still, this pillowcase can help prevent skin breakouts and hair damage, too! Promising review: "I'm obsessed with these pillowcases. Unfortunately, you have to buy most colors individually but it's cheaper when you buy two. The colors are SO SO CUTE. The material is so soft and feels like butter, seriously!! I will be buying every color I like lol, I already have the ivory and sage in my cart, next is blue haze. 😎" —Rebecca $18.99 (available in six colors) A smart pet camera with a built-in treat dispenser since nothing could make you (and your pet) feel better than being able to monitor, talk to, and ~treat~ your lil' fur baby from afar. Promising review: "I got this for my two dogs, Luna and Nola, and it's been a game-changer! Between work and everything else, I wanted something that lets me check in on them while I'm away. The video quality is great — I can see them clearly, and it helps me feel more connected to them, even when I'm not home. The treat dispenser has become their favorite part! They actually run to the camera when they hear the sound, which always makes me laugh. It's been super easy to set up and use, and for the price, I'm really happy with the value. If you're a pet parent who's looking for peace of mind, I'd definitely recommend this!" —cathyPrice: $79.99 (originally $99.99) What to Cook When You Don't Feel Like Cooking, a very handy cookbook featuring easy and fast recipes that taste downright delicious.

I will always purchase this product again!!" —JenPrice: $8.39 (available in nine colors including waterproof formulas) A firepit to level up your backyard summer hangs with some cozy warmth and ~ambience~. Promising review: "Highly recommend! The price couldn't have been any better for this quality material, easy to assemble, consistent performance, and simple aesthetic. Comes with a cover and I like the propane placement so you don't have two pieces like other popular fire pit models. So there's no cording you have to watch for or trip over. Comes with black lava rocks which were easy to clean if needed (we got some marshmallow goop on a small area). Really happy with our purchase. Thank you!" —KmhvPrice: $139.99 (originally $299.99) A neck and shoulder massage wrap so you can unwind at the end of a long day spent hunched over your computer or out picking weeds.

Rain Price: $169.99 (available in two colors) A tub of The Pink Stuff, which will soon become your holy grail cleaning product. Reviewers rave about this multi-purpose paste, saying it busts through even the toughest, most impossible-seeming stains and messes with ease. Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I was skeptical because of all of the positive reviews and thought there was no way it could be THAT good. It truly is, this stuff has gotten out rings on stainless steel and bathroom stains. Cannot recommend enough." —AllyCatPrice: $5.99 A grocery planning pad for anyone who struggles to write the weekly shopping list. Simply use this to check off what you need instead, which will hopefully prevent you from forgetting the most important ingredient (again). Promising review: "Very nice quality, I highly recommend." —BrianPrice: $14.53 for two pads (originally $20.99) A popular Revlon hair styling tool that dries *and* styles your hair simultaneously, giving you a beautiful, sleek blowout in just minutes. Promising review: "I love this! Dries my hair so fast and styles it at the same time. Really makes my hair shine and gets rid of the frizz. I only wish they had a smaller brush available. Worth every penny." —GMAPrice: $30.99 (originally $32.99; available in two colors) A box of Mighty Patch pimple patches so a pesky blemish doesn't ~cramp your style~ and make you feel totally self-conscious.

Promising review: "I'm always skeptical about acne products because I think I have tired every single kind ever. But this product is so good.

Great results for a great price." —natPrice: $6.99 for 12 patches (six original and six invisible) A smart dishwasher magnet to make sure everybody in the household is on the same doesn't accidentally load a dirty dish when they're not supposed to! Promising review: "Magnets right onto our dishwasher and looks seamless with the design. Sticks securely and comes off easily! Really helps us keep track of our dishwasher status." —AndreaPrice: $9.99 (originally $12.99) An investment-worthy Hatch Restore 3 because it makes falling asleep at night and waking up in the morning so much better. Drift off with a bedtime routine or to the constant hum of white noise (or other soundscapes), and then in the morning, a gradual "sunrise" will gently stir you from your dreams. Doesn't that sound so lovely? Well, it is. I absolutely *love* my Hatch — and it's 100% greatly improved my mornings. I have to wake up pretty early most days, and it makes such a difference having the gradual light stir me from my slumber instead of a jarring alarm sound. I usually set the sunrise to 15 minutes in duration, but you can choose longer if you prefer a slower wake-up. The alarm sounds are also quite soothing: I opt for either wind chimes or meditative flute (literally 1000X better than the iPhone alarm choices). Plus, you can use it as a soft bedside lamp for reading or ~ambiance~ with lots of color options to choose from — the brightness level is also adjustable! Price: $169.99 (available in three colors) A bamboo tub caddy that will bring your evening ~soak and unwind~ routine to a new level of luxury.

It plenty big enough without being bulky and it fits perfectly on my tub." —Syd Price: $27.99 An adorable 12-month budget planner if you want to be more diligent about your daily, weekly, and monthly spending. This makes it easy-peasy to jot everything down in an organized fashion and even has 24 pockets for storing receipts, invoices, paystubs, and other money-related documents. Price: $15.66 (originally $24.99) A package of 14 colored gel ink pens since literally any kind of writing becomes instantly more fun when you get to do it in pretty colored ink (even budgeting)! Promising review: "Love these pens! This is not the first pack I've bought and won't be the last. The gel ink writes beautifully and doesn't smudge." —Katie WPrice: $13.39

It also features a chic, supportive scoop back that'll give higher-end athletic brands a ~run~ for their money. Promising review: "I really like this bra! No padded cups...I bought an XL and I'm a 42DDD. I like the back straps sitting more on the shoulders, not digging in and smoothing everything. I know for running or jogging this bra won't be supportive enough, I'm using it for everyday wear. For Pilates or yoga, it's perfect. I'm buying more colors. Super soft. 10 stars." —AmyPrice: $20 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and six colors — not all colors available in all sizes) Or a no-bounce sports bra built with no wires and all the support you could need up top.

I was debating between the travel size and the regular, but the travel is perfect and super easy to bring anywhere." —AmandaPrice: $14.99 A pair of Reebok Nano X4 sneakers to provide a supportive base for your training. It's just a bonus that they come in endorphin-boosting hues that'll not only make you feel good about getting a workout in, but can also be worn for both running and lifting. Think: an ultra-lightweight upper and energy foam cushion that compresses with weight for stability, and softens when you push off to sprint. Price: $89.99 (originally $140; available in women's sizes 5–11 and 10 colors) An Apple Watch Series 10 you can wear to keep track of your daily activity. Whether you need to sneak in some more movement throughout the day in the form of steps or cardio, monitor the intensity of your exercise, or want to get a read on your sleep, this — the latest in Apple's wearables — can help you set and reach your health and wellness goals with ease.

Used it during pregnancy for stretching and to relieve back pain." —ADPrice: $14.29 (originally $15.99; available in three sizes) An expensive-looking zip-up hoodie designed with thumbholes that, IMHO, are a game-changer for early morning (read: not toooo early) workouts when you want some extra, over-the-wrist coverage. Not to mention the high zip-up neck that's perfect for shielding you from the breeze when you're heading to and from the gym at night. Promising review: "This sweatshirt is so warm and has just the right amount of thickness. The cropped look makes it easy to pair with a tank top underneath or a vest over top. It's a perfect price point, too." —ChelsPrice: $25 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and three colors — not all colors available in all sizes) A portable ice bath because recovery is every bit as important as the workout itself. Grab this foldable plunge pool that's easy to transport and set up in small spaces to make ice therapy (which can reduce muscle soreness and fatigue) an optimal part of your overall routine. Promising review: "I've never left a review before on any website for any product.

This offers three levels of elevation and is lightweight but sturdy enough to bear your full weight. Promising review: "Nice, solid, but also heavy, which I guess is good as the weight adds to stability." —jjPrice: $14.99 An insulated water bottle bag invented to conveniently carry around your emotional support water bottle (and the rest of your belongings) hands-free. Perfect to wear as a crossbody for sunset hikes, so you can focus solely on getting your steps in and easily reach for your phone to take that Insta-worthy shot. The drawstring secures the bottle in place, and the pockets have room for your keys, wallet, phone, and review: "This is the second water bottle sling I've purchased. I love the space for sunglasses, Chapstick, some hand sanitizer along with my bottle that stay cool [and] insulated inside." —Nicole APrice: $14.99 A ribbed racerback tank top designed with a built-in shelf bra, helping you achieve extra coverage so you can ditch those other layers that, quite frankly, smush your chest and collect icky sweat.

Promising review: "Just what I wanted. The exact step we use at the gym!!!! Very sturdy. I use it on the floor with no mat under it exactly how we use it at the gym. It's sturdy; no slipping or moving at all. So glad Target had this; I can do my workouts at home instead of traveling to the gym. Arrived quickly and right out of the box ready to use. Thanks, Target!!!" —CJ RNPrice: $89.99 (originally $94.99) A high-rise skort with a crisscross waist perfect for rocking on the court, in the gym, on a bike ride, or just running errands in warmer weather. Reviewers love the bonus design features, like the built-in pockets, cool waistline (that doesn't roll down), and extra coverage. Promising review: "I bought this in the store in the teal blue color. I love it! This 'skort' is VERY soft and comfortable, just like the ones I have from Popflex. I love the pockets to carry my phone at the gym! But honestly, I will wear this skirt everywhere, not just at the gym! I really hope they add more colors, maybe a dark blue or red." —Target CustomerPrice: $35 (available in women's sizes XS–3X and two colors)

Promising review: "Remote control works great, it's small and easy to move around, I have been using it in the living room while watching TV and it took me a minute to get a hold of the balance but it's been good since. It's not noisy at all and very easy to use." —Anu RanjanPrice: $201.99+ (originally $569.99, available in three colors) A set of Blogilates resistance bands so you can get your curls on, rock some flies, and overall get a great arm, back, and chest workout in. This set comes with three bands in three different levels so you can up the intensity as you get stronger. Promising review: "I wasn't sure if I'd use these that often, but I totally do! I love using them at home, kind of like how I'd use a cable machine if I were at a gym. My favorite move is stepping on the middle of the band, leaning over, and doing a rear delt fly for my back muscles. They're also perfect for travel, and you can really do a lot with them. Bonus that the colors are so cute!" —LaurenPrice: $9.99 for a set of three A mini ab ball for crafting your own little Pilates class at home or with the help of YouTube University.

I have the 25 lbs and it's durable, looks good, and performs as it should. I like that the bell is coated in nonslip vinyl, which I feel is gentler on floors if you're using this in your home. I've had mine since 2020, and it still works great and shows no signs of wear and tear." —paigePrice: $26.39+ (originally $32.99, available in 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, and 30 pound sizes) A pair of double-sided ab sliders that work on carpet *or* hard floors so you can challenge your core with slow, controlled movement.

Promising review: "These are by far the best bands I have ever used! They don't roll up and are not tight like some bands are. Definitely buy!" —WiscomomPrice: $10.29 A yoga strap that all yogis could benefit from having nearby during their practice. If you're not super stretchy, a strap can help you reach your feet and access poses you're working towards, and if you're super stretchy it can help you deepen even further. An amazing, simple little tool. Promising review: "I purchased this item for my therapy after full knee replacement surgery and worked perfectly." —Sue $7.19 (originally $8.99) Some simple hand grips if the only thing keeping you from nailing pull-ups is grip strength. And to all my fellow rock-climbers out there, it doesn't hurt to passivley train grip in your idle moments! Promising review: "I work out regularly, and my arm strength is excellent. I believe in strengthening the body head-to-toe, and never thought about my hand strength until I saw these in-store. They're made well and increase my grip, which is essential for overall well-being." —jagPrice: $3.99 (originally $4.99) A weighted fitness hoop you can throw on while watching a movie to get a little burn going. Best of all the ring is adjustable so you can tailor it to your body and get all you can out of it. You didn't practice all that Hula-Hooping in elementary school for nothing! Promising review: "I've never had a weighted fitness hoop before so I do not have anything else to compare this to but I do enjoy this weighted hoop. I'm 5'6' and 135 lbs, and after removing a notch this hoop rests on my hips comfortably without squeezing. The ball weight moves around the hoop track easily if you give it the first throw around and start working your hips in a circular motion. I also have found that if I evenly and firmly stand on both feet while squatting a bit and get some of the motion work on my thighs that I can get a little thigh work out as well. The string the ball weight hangs from can be adjusted to have the ball weight hang shorter or longer to your preference (I made mine shorter). The hoop has some noise, but not offensively so. I expect I'll have to be doing this for a little bit to feel some burn, but it's something to help keep me moving more. Good price. I say go for it." —ValeriePrice: $23.99 An ab wheel that shoooo-ee really makes your core talk back to you, at least in my experience. A few rolls on this thing and my body's like "Okay, yep, we're getting stronger!" A quick, simple ab workout you can work into a daily routine. Promising review: "This lil' gadget is really nice and well-made for the price! It's sturdy, and gives a nice stretch for those ab workouts!" —Tr0n64Price: $7.99 (originally $9.99) An 8-pound weighted vest you can wear to up the intensity of bodyweight exercises and cardio *or* as some reviewers report doing, just wear around the house for some passive strengthening. Options! Promising review: "I love this weighted vest. I bought it in January and have been using it weekly on my treadmill, during outdoor walks, and the day as I do housework. It is very comfortable, adjustable, [and] easy to take on and off. I am 5'5", 36D, and it fits perfectly. Highly recommend!" —CHPrice: $27.99 (originally $34.99) A six-piece weight set with a nice little stand so you can get a studio-level arm toning workout in in the comfort of your own home. Promising review: "Honestly, all you could ask for in a small weight set. The weights are the correct amount and come with their own storage. I love that the colors match my color scheme in my apartment, so they're not as much of an eyesore to have out!" —RaddadPrice: $39.99 (originally $49.99) A cork yoga block to keep nearby bring your practice so you can reach for it whenever you need a little assistance, a balance helper, or a way to get deeper into poses. Its uses are practically endless, and cork is the best material for staying slip-free, especially if it's a sweaty workout. Promising review: "Nice, solid, but also heavy, which I guess is good as the weight adds to stability." —jjPrice: $11.99 (originally $14.99) An Owala FreeSip stainless-steel water bottle for staying hydrated during your at-home workout and life! Owalla is kind of That Girl right now in the water bottle world, as evidenced by my friends talking endlessly about how much they love it. And listen, my friends have good taste. Promising review: "The Owala FreeSip is practical, stylish, and versatile — perfect for anyone on the go or looking to up their hydration game. It's become my go-to bottle, and I'd recommend it to anyone who values functionality without sacrificing design." —MichellePrice: $34.99 (available in 10 colors) A set of anti-microbial four-pound ankle weights to juice up floor workouts as quickly as you can secure some velcro. They're also an interesting addition to a walk or jog if you feel like being an overachiever or challenging your muscles even if you don't have much time. Promising review: "I've been using the ankle weights for a few weeks now and enjoying them. I've noticed a difference in the tone of my legs, and I feel like my workouts are more challenging. I also like that I can wear them while I'm doing everyday activities, like walking or running errands. Overall, I'm pleased with the ankle weights. They're a great way to add resistance to your workouts and help you tone your legs. I recommend them to anyone looking for a quality pair of ankle weights." —Target ReviewerPrice: $18.39 (originally $22.99) A Glamorise no-bounce sports bra for keeping everything in place during your quick and intense HIIT workouts. Not even burpees are a match for this bra, whose full-coverage design, adjustable straps, and hook and eye closure work overtime to keep you supported. Promising review: "I love these!!! I started Orangetheory, so I am on the treadmill each time I go, and I really do feel like this bra helps my breasts not move at all. I have large breasts and want the best support, and I get it from this bra. I have three, and I love them. I will not use another brand for my sports bras!! Great quality and affordable too!" —Amanda $37.80 (originally $54; available in sizes 34C–50H) A yoga towel so if your hands are on the sweatier side (welcome to my world) you can ensure you stay right in place and ease any fear of sliding around. Downward dog is just a different experience once you're not scared that your hands are gonna fly out from under you. Promising review: "I didn't know yoga towels existed before this! What a clever idea. The towel itself is thin. One side has that microfiber feel, and the other is covered in non-slip nubs. I really appreciate the corner pockets to slip over your yoga mat and further prevent the towel from sliding around." —Jenny KPrice: $12.95 (originally $16.19) A sturdy foam roller because boy oh boy are you going to feel tight after leg day. Rolling out all your muscles is gonna feel great in a so-bad-and-yet-so-good way. Promising review: "Very well-made and sturdy with a cute design. I was debating between the travel size and the regular, but the travel is perfect and super easy to bring anywhere." —AmandaPrice: $11.99 (originally $14.99) A deep tissue massage gun that can relieve sore muscles from working out *and* get into knots caused by being in your desk era even if you don't have time to get an intense stretch or workout in. This one has three attachments for getting the pressure juuuust right, as well as heated and cooling settings for even more relief. It also comes with a carrying case. Read more about what massage guns can (and can't) do, plus how to use them, at Cleveland review: "Very expensive-looking for an affordable price. Feels very sturdy and the lowest setting is already strong enough." —AaronPrice: $84.99 (originally $99.99) A Bosu balance board you can use right side up or upside-down for squats, push-ups, planks, burpees, and whatever else that genius body weight exercise imagination of yours can dream up. Promising review: "I've always liked using the Bosu trainer at the gym, and when quarantine started, I ordered one for my home to stay active. It's easy and versatile to use for a lot of different exercises — squats, toe touches, abs, etc. Small and easy to store, and quick to inflate (comes with a hand pump)." —ErinMLPrice: $69.99+ (available in three colors) A two-pack of grippy socks to step safely and securely if you're working out on tile or wood floors. Barre and Pilates exercises are made *so* much easier with these little guys. Promising review: "Love that these are affordable for Pilates! Pilates is already expensive enough, and these are affordable socks that work great! They have also held up past repeated washes!" —SarlazerPrice: $10.39 (originally $12.99) A sweet Blogilates jumprope that'll get your heart pumping in no time! It felt so easy when we were kids, but picking up a jump rope as a grown-up is shocking when it comes to the cardio prowess it takes. Still fun though, that didn't change! Promising review: "This jump rope does not get twisted and tangled! The design is lightweight and makes jumping super smooth, so I recommend this for a beginner like me. Love Blogilates!" —Rachel KPrice: $14.99 A customizable step platform if you're the queen of aerobic workouts and want to be able to do them whenever you want. It has three adjustable heights and can also be used for plank exercises or any other time some height variation might be fun. Promising review: "Just what I wanted. The exact step we use at the gym!!!! Very sturdy. I use it on the floor with no mat under it exactly how we use it at the gym. It's sturdy; no slipping or moving at all. So glad Target had this; I can do my workouts at home instead of traveling to the gym. Arrived quickly and right out of the box ready to use. Thanks, Target!!!" —CJ RNPrice: $89.99 (originally $94.99)

If You're Looking To Ditch Your Gym Membership, These 20 Target Products Will Help You Work Out At Home
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Privacy + saving money longterm = most rewarding workouts ever. 1. A Bala Bangle that'll up your workout's intensity (regardless of what you're doing). Simply strap them to your ankles and/or wrists and make pilates, yoga, or barre movements more challenging. Target Each bangle is two pounds and made of silicone, which makes it easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth after use. Your set also comes with a handy (matching!) carrying case. Promising reviews: 'Perfect for walking, jogging, gym workout, etc. If you like to feel a little burn without being uncomfortable, these are your beginning weights. They are worth the buy.' — Belle "I own several of these weights; the 15-pound bar and 10-pound ring. I love Bala, and the aesthetic weights make me use them more because I am okay with keeping them out. I bought this pair as a gift for a friend. They are not only beautiful but also very functional. A product that makes you want to work out!" — Rae 2. An adjustable dumbbell, because why have five sets of dumbbells when you can just have one? It's ideal if you lack the space for several sets of weights but still want the flexibility of using different poundage. It gives you the option to switch between 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 pounds with the simple click of the handle. Target It is worth noting that this is just a single dumbbell, so you'll want to purchase two if you're looking for a set. Promising review: 'I love these adjustable dumbbells. They don't take up too much space in my home gym so I'm able to get several weights out of one, basically. The weights are also perfect for me, at 5, 10, 15, and 20, since that's usually all I use for arms.' — Aniterrrr 3. Or an adjustable kettlebell that is great for swings, deadlifts, and squats. Take advantage of the adjustable component, because you essentially get seven differently weighted kettlebells in one! Made of coated cast iron, it is well-made, and the quick-lock design makes changing weights a breeze. Target Like the dumbbell, you'll also want to purchase two if you're looking for a set. 4. A Blogilates ultimate toning tube kit that is as beautiful as it is functional. Use it to get in a resistance-focused workout that doesn't require any additional equipment. Target Each pastel-hued kit comes with five different resistance tubes (of varying intensities) as well as two foam handles, ankle straps, a door anchor, and a storage bag. Promising review: 'So convenient for small dorm room workouts. Love the little bag, keeping everything contained. Door jam is so helpful Makes it easy for me to keep up with physical therapy for my whole body. Got it on sale, which made it even better.' — Isabel 5. A natural cork yoga mat to add stability and a more cushioned surface for things like power yoga or a 15-minute ab blaster. This mat features a pine green nonslip side and a cork surface (which, may I add, is antimicrobial). An added bonus? The 5-millimeter thickness is most yogis' preference for a grounding mat that doesn't provide too much cushion. Target Promising review: 'It's great quality for the price, and it's grippy for hands and feet. I saw a lot of reviews that said it wouldn't unroll, but mine unrolled just fine! Also, my cat loves it.' — Sam 6. A set of push-up bars, because these allow you to get a deeper range of motion and increase time under tension compared to just doing a traditional push-up. The design of these push-up bars takes unnecessary stress off the wrists, and the foam handle is comfortable to grip. These equal more muscle growth and strength for you. Target Promising review: 'Takes the pressure off my wrists when I do push-ups. Stable and stays in place.' — Sunshine in AZ 7. A Stanley Tumbler that isn't just popular because of its looks, but because folks love the spill-proof top, which also can be flipped down when you're not drinking out of it. This Stanley is double-walled, which helps your beverages stay cold for nine full hours. Plus, the handle is easy to grip, even with a sweaty hand. Target Promising review: 'Easy to take apart for cleaning, and I love the color. It is also completely spill-proof with the straw closed! 10/10.' — Rose 8. A pair of sliding core discs to up the intensity on exercises like mountain climbers or plank jacks. These specific discs are nice because they're dual-sided, meaning they're safe for use on both hard surfaces and carpet. You'll be getting in a better sweat *and* improving your stability. Win-win! Target Promising review: 'As an avid yoga and pilates practitioner, I'm always looking for new equipment to add into my routine. These core discs have become a daily staple whether it's for stretching, working on stability, strength training for everything from the core down (and even used for upper body work when used with hands). Anyone looking to improve any of the above in a cheap and simple way, I'd recommend greatly!' — lunaes 9. A NordicTrack Commercial 2450 treadmill for your home gym arsenal that will be an addition you won't regret. It has a 22-inch touchscreen for iFit programming, built-in speakers, and can be folded down when you're not using it. This durable cardio machine is perfect for walking, jogging, or sprinting to your heart's content. Target 10. A Bosu balance trainer to help you work on your balance or add an extra challenge to your already-brutal up-downs. Bosu also provides a downloadable wall chart if you need some workout inspiration. Target This balance ball is 26 inches long, comes with a handy pump, and can hold up to 300 pounds. 11. A weighted fitness hoop adds fun and play to your at-home workout. It has a 1-pound ball attached that will help strengthen your core, and the size of the hoop can be adjusted to fit your body. I mean, come on, who doesn't want to Hula Hoop while watching a few YouTube videos? Target Promising review: 'I had to measure my waistline before using this. I also had to make it tight enough to fit around. Even though it's a bit loud with the weighted ball, this fitness hoop is something I could work out with when I can't get to the gym or go for a walk on some days. Happy to have something like this.' — Beautiful sundress 12. A Blogilates jump rope to help you master your double-unders or boxer steps in a jiffy. The cable on this rope is adjustable to fit your height, and the handles are cushioned for a more comfortable jumping experience. P.S. I'm obsessed with this rust shade — it's so cute! 13. A set of cooling towels that is exactly what you need after a hot and sweaty workout. It includes four towels in green, pink, grey, and blue, and comes with carabiners and storage bags to easily pack, transport, and hang them. Just soak one in water and enjoy the chilling effects after a tough cardio session. 14. A doorway pull-up bar (that can also be used on the floor for other exercises) because it is an easy addition to any house or apartment, and takes up very little space. This particular one has eight different foam grips to help you mix up your variations. Target It can hold up to 300 pounds (if properly installed), and fits on almost all doorways. 15. A plyometric box is useful for everything from box jumps to weighted step-ups — your choice. Regardless of the size you select, each box has three different height options so you can tailor it to a specific movement goal or ability level. Though you should always place it on a solid, even surface anyway, the grippy texture is a great feature to prevent your feet from slipping. I'm also loving the handles built into the boxes for easy transport. Target Promising review: 'Perfect size box for a personal gym. It's perfect for step-ups. The gradual increase in inches is perfect for beginning and advanced strength training. It's light and portable. The best part is that the cube is complete on all sides. Capable of holding my weight, 145 pounds, and a 30-pound dumbbell.' — Roxy in Nola 16. A weighted slam ball that is a multipurpose piece of home-gym equipment for everything from your abs to your lower body. Encased in a thick PVC shell, this slam ball is hardy and ready for whatever you throw (er, slam) at it. Regardless of the weight you choose, your slam ball comes filled with sand to deaden unwanted bounce. Plus, the sweat-resistant construction comes in ~handy~ when you've had a tough session. (No hand slippage here!) Target 17. An adjustable exercise bench for supported benching, rowing, and chest pressing. It has eight backrest positions for virtually any exercise you can think of. Plus, it can hold 440 pounds, so it's obviously well-built. *And* at just under 30 pounds, this foldable bench can easily be moved (and stored). 18. An ab wheel that not only works your abdominal muscles, but also your lower back and posterior chain. The nonslip grip on the handles is a big plus while you're working up a sweat, and I appreciate the 250-pound weight capacity as well. 19. A Pilates reformer machine that you can use at home? Count me in! With different resistance options, this heavy-duty apparatus allows you to customize your workout to your personal fitness level. It even comes with three instructional DVDs to help you nail your workouts from the get-go. Target Promising review: 'This is a high-quality home reformer at a really great value. Sturdy all around! Putting the reformer together does take patience — the directions aren't the greatest and some of the holes in the frame didn't line up exactly, so I needed to get smaller screws to fit in the misaligned holes. It comes with a great poster-sized instruction booklet on all the basic Pilates moves, which is awesome for beginners!' — Ann 20. A set of resistance bands, since they are multifunctional and can just as easily be used for stretching as they can for functional fitness.

21 Target Clothing Items You'll Wear So Much, The Price Per Wear Will Be Literally Pennies
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Wearing this mock turtleneck every day this week has already been worth it. Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. 1. A long-sleeved mock turtleneck made in an extra lightweight (and soft) design perfect for layering underneath other clothing items *or* wearing by itself as things start to warm up outside. Target Promising review:"I've been looking for a sleek fitting turtleneck, and I came across this and had to buy two. I loved it so much. I prefer a tight fit, so it's absolutely perfect!" — Rose 2. A Levi's maxi dress with voluminous sleeves that add extra character to a more straightforward styled dress. 3. A pair of wide leg ankle jeans, a casual and relaxed fit packaged in various hues — ranging from black to navy to olive to lavender — so your comfort doesn't slack on style. Target Promising review:"Love the lavender color. The fit is perfect. I sized up one based on other reviews, and that was great advice. I'd love it in other colors if they come back in stock! There are no pockets in the front — just a head's up on that. These are easy to dress up or wear casually." — Stopped working 4. An open back top with lace trim ready to accompany you to that spring date you've had circled on your calendar all month. Target 5. A shearling aviator jacket to give you that rugged aesthetic that'll keep you warm on that ferry ride into the city. Reviewers say it was love at first sight when they saw the jacket, and once they slipped it on, it lived up to the hype. Target 6. A ribbed V-neck that is the *perfect top,* according to the reviews, and is sure to become one of your new faves. It's an everyday top that can accompany so many different outfits. It comes in three colors so far, so you might want to grab them all. Target 7. A pair of soft ultra high-rise leggings because a pair of good buttery soft leggings hates to see you coming since they're going in the cart when they do. Target Promising review:"I love these leggings as a girl with bigger hips and butt. These don't cling uncomfortably to my butt like some leggings. I feel good in these when I'm powerlifting!" — Elenimc "Best leggings ever!! I wore them in two consecutive hot yoga classes, and they were perfect. Buttery feel and the sweat wasn't a problem at all. I can compare it to a Lululemon Align." — Rosie P 8. A leopard print sweater that's a dangerous print to keep caged in your closet. This sweater was made to roam and it'll be a repeat option throughout the seasons. 9. A wide-leg jumpsuit from their latest line, Blogilates. This jumpsuit — *complete with pockets* — is here to upgrade your idea of what loungewear can be. Target Promising review:"This is perfect. I wouldn't change a thing! It is so comfortable and perfect for lounging around the house or running errands. I do not wear a bra with it, and I like that I still get that sports bra look instead of just bra-less. I will say, however, that I am short (5'3), and the pants were long, but I just hemmed them. I have issues with texture, but this material on my arms and legs just feels heavenly. I def will be buying the other colors." — Kay 10. A mesh cardigan you'll have a hard time not wearing. Sure, the color might say springtime, but the style vibes say ~here and now.~ Target 11. A cropped rainbow stitch sweater filled with an assortment of colors you can pull from when piecing together your ensemble. Target 12. A slit hem pullover, a simple, lightweight tunic top just begging to be paired with your favorite leggings or jeans. Don't be surprised if you have the sudden urge to nestle in for a nap the second you slip it on. 13. A duster cardigan because you want something on your arms, but you still want the rest of your outfit to be seen. The duster cardigan is a must-have because it acts kind of like a robe, except people won't look at you funny if you wear it to run errands. Target Promising review:"I love this cardigan. It is true to size. I normally wear a medium, and it is super roomy. The length is past my bottom and has pockets. Perfect for fall. The cream color goes with anything. Will buy in more colors!" — Dani 14. A relaxed teddy sweater in a vibrant red hue that'll make sure you stand out. Reviewers say the color looks even better in person and although warm, the sweater doesn't feel heavy. Target Promising review:"Gorgeous sweater. The red is really vibrant. It's definitely a quality piece and feels well made, but it doesn't feel super heavy when wearing it. A good length, also not cropped, thank goodness!! I wish it came in more colors." — MCMom 15. A utility denim jumpsuit which has reviewers raving about how it hugs their curves in all the right places. They also say the fabric is so comfortable you'll regret not snagging it while you have the chance. Target 16. A pair of velvet cargo pants, aka a dressed-up version of your most comfortable pants. 17. A cropped lapel faux-fur jacket on the days you feel like channeling the main character energy of Sex and the City. And it comes in *16* colors ranging from warm neutrals to vibrant pops. Target 18. An oversized moto jacket when you want your fashion to resemble those bad-to-the-bone students from an '80s classic. Reviewers note that the leather looks expensive and feels super soft. Target Promising reviews:"I like the look of the jacket! I like the fit and the color!! The leather is soft !! And it looks expensive. ❤️" — Red "Love this jacket!! So soft, I was afraid it would look cheap — it does not! So very in and the price is great!! Distressed looking bought size medium runs a little big, and the sleeves fit great!" — Styling 19. A pair of '90s baggy jeans, a classic cut pant with plenty of breathing room for your legs. Target 20. A flannel button-down because it's pretty much a requirement to wear plaid during cooler months. Haven't you read the fashion savvy handbook? Target 21. A pair of wide leg cargo pants reviewers say have become their favorite pair of pants in their closet. Target
