Whether you don't like working out at the gym or going to one simply isn't feasible, you can still get a thorough and tiring workout from home.

And you don't need to have a fully kitted out gym to do so. In fact, with just a few essential items, such as a pair of adjustable dumbbells or a resistance training band, you can have just as good of a workout as you would in a gym or in a workout class.

Additionally, many workout classes these days require certain equipment, be it kettlebells or even a skipping rope.

Regardless of whether you're trying to get into shape for your New Year's resolution, or you're trying out a new hobby, with a few basic outfits, you can easily train from the comfort of your own home and still achieve your desired results.

There are a lot of choices when it comes to workout equipment, so we've searched high and low and rounded up the best home workout essentials, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned veteran.

New Year, New You.
