You may not pack on tons of muscle, but these options need limited space, are portable, can be used for a quick workout when time is tight, and can get you stronger.   [Stability ball:](http://www.onefitstop.com.au/index.php?route=product%2Fsearch&filter_name=exercise+ball) These are great due to their versatility. They can be the primary exercise equipment, or used as a bench for seated or lying exercises. You can work every muscle in your body, and strengthen your midsection. [Mini band loops](http://www.onefitstop.com.au/fitness-equipment/kinetic-bands): Use these to target your glutes, hips and shoulders. They will greatly help your posture and balance, as well as make you stronger in your main lifts. [Superbands:](http://www.onefitstop.com.au/fitness-equipment/24pc-resbands) If you want to perform a wide variety of exercises, this is the tool you need. Hit your chest, back, shoulders, quads, hamstrings, and everything else. Superbands have the capability of providing up to 300 pounds of resistance, depending on the thickness you purchase, making them great for somebody looking to add strength and/or size. [Exercise bands:](http://www.onefitstop.com.au/index.php?route=product%2Fsearch&filter_name=resistance+bands) These bands have handles on each end, with resistance up to 100 pounds. Again, these bands can be used for any body part. If your budget is a higher, you can add on. [Kettlebells](http://www.onefitstop.com.au/index.php?route=product%2Fsearch&filter_name=kettle) and [dumbbells](http://www.onefitstop.com.au/index.php?route=product%2Fsearch&filter_name=dumbbell) are the next progressions, due to their versatility and ability to work every body part. You don't need a full set to begin, just a few for the weights you need. One handed exercises give you even more versatility without needing to buy heavier weights. Lastly, you can purchase a TRX system. This is a unique piece of equipment that uses your body weight as the resistance. However, you use suspended straps, making you unstable throughout every movement. If you have a place to hang it, this is something everybody can get a great workout from that will truly tax your muscles.       This article reflects the author's own views and not those of One Fit Stop.
