Exercise equipment is great at the gym, but if you don’t want to shell out the money for at-home workouts, you can just make your own. There are a bunch of products already in your home that can double as exercise equipment. See if you have these three everyday items for getting your sweat on in your home gym.
Instead of: handheld weights
Use: canned tomatoes. Soup or other dense canned foods may not be skinny in the middle like dumbbells, but the ridges on the side will help keep your grip. Choose two of the same weight to work your arms.
How: use canned food in place of any handheld weight exercise you would do for your shoulders, biceps, or triceps. If you have options in your pantry, use the lightest cans for your shoulders and triceps while using the heavy set for biceps.
Instead of: resistance band.
Use: the tie from your bathrobe. Many exercise classes are swapping out resistance bands for cloth karate ropes. A bathrobe tie works just as well as its black-belt counterpart.
How: this waist tie is great for stretching your legs. Use it while lying on your back to stretch your hamstrings, IT band, or calves by simply extending one leg into the air and hooking the strap around the sole of your foot. This is also a unique weapon for ab work. Try ab exercises where your legs are suspended out in front of you and your back is off the ground. You can loop the belt around one or both of your legs for more support and to take the strain out of your neck.
Keep reading for our third idea.

What’s one to do with all that leftover turkey? You could settle for turkey sandwiches smothered in stuffing and cranberry sauce, or you could make a healthier choice and toss it into a tasty broth for a healthy serving of turkey soup! Got left over celery and carrots? You can toss that stuff in there, too. A filling warm stew, it’s the perfect way to wind down the Thanksgiving holiday and take a breather from all that heavy eating.
Come check out the yummy recipe.

Fast fixes for when you’re feeling less than fab
By Stephanie Castillo, Prevention
You know how it goes. You wake up in the morning, glance at yourself in the mirror, and decide you’re “too fat” to go anywhere. Instead of interacting with the outside world – mirrors! people! – you’d rather sit at home watching too many hours of Keeping Up With the Kardashians and eating cheese fries . . . with your hands. Hey, we’ve all been there. But would you believe us if we said it’s all in your head?
It’s true, say researchers at the University College London.
Feeling thin or fat is an illusion constructed in our posterior parietal cortex – an area of the brain that integrates sensory information from different parts of the body. Unlike your sense of touch, there are no specialized receptors in your body that send information to the brain about the size and shape of your body parts, says lead study author Henrik Ehrsson, MD, PhD. “Instead, the brain appears to create a map of the body by integrating signals from the relevant body parts such as skin, joints, and muscles, along with visual cues,” he says.
Which means that if you spend the day sending your brain the wrong cues about your body, it’s going to give you the wrong image.

When you wake up late and start your day crazed, you can be sure that the rest of your day will follow suit. In the same vein, it’s equally incredible how a quick morning meditation can shift you away from a case of the cuckoos and back to your centered self – ready to embrace the day! Some might scoff at the concept of taking a significant amount of time in the morning to do nothing but sit in silence, but it can be a truly transformative time.
- You’ll breathe better all day long: So many days the clock can strike noon, and you realize you haven’t taken one really deep breath since you woke up. Starting your day off with these full body breaths instantly relieves nerves and leaves you with a sense of calm. Calling this attention to your breath will keep your stamina up and your head clear for the duration of your day.
- You’re giving your bod a treat: It just plain feels good! Forcing yourself to cool your jets and sit for even five or 10 minutes may seem like a struggle, but practice makes perfect, and it will give back tenfold. You’re busy helping everyone all day long; you need to give yourself a little love too.
Keep reading for one more reason a morning meditation is worth a try.
