1. Wrist straps
Feeling like you could definitely lift heavier, but having trouble keeping a grip on those massive dumbbells? These should help! Wrap around your wrist and place the loose fabric on the dumbbell, kettlebell, what have you – the extra friction will have you throwing that weight around.

3. Nursing bra
Hey, mama – who said you have to let your little one stall your workout regimen? Oh, that's right: No one. You may just need to adjust a bit! Maybe you lift a little lighter, adjust your treadmill's incline. And perhaps you show up with a little extra support, like the Kindred Bravely Suplime Sports Bra provides, a nursing bra with extra-wide straps that'll ensure everything stays where it's supposed to while you get those reps in.
4. Workout sliders
Sliders add a sneakily difficult element to your floor routines. If you're bored with the same old song and dance, try adding some slide to it – great for lower body and core moves, especially. Try these!
5. Barbell pad
Whether you're trying to hip thrust, squat or lunge some heavier weight, you're likely going to need some extra cushion – planting a heavy barbell right on your shoulder blades or pelvic bones does not feel good, and it'll quickly deter you from lifting more than you actually can. Invest in a pad for proper protection!
6. Jumprope
If jumping on a cardio machine – treadmill, stair-stepper, stationary bike – feels monotonous, at this point, it's time to switch it up. The only requirement of cardio exercise is to get your heart rate up, and you can do that...however you want. Why not take it old school and jump rope? This jumprope from bala even comes with weighted handles for extra push!
