PUSHX3 FEATURED ON SLATE PICKS!

To get more out of home workouts, you might want to add something to the basic pushup. These pushup bars have a rounded bottom, which means you’re not just going up and down: You’re also balancing. As a result, “more muscle groups get recruited,” says fitness blogger Dai Manuel. He also recommends them because they’re lightweight. “I throw them in my gym bag and take them traveling with me.” It’s a small item that can make a big difference in your exercise this year.
