PWR at Home uses some key pieces of equipment to help you increase your strength, including:

• Adjustable Barbell
• Ankle Weights
• Bench (Week 5 onwards)
• Chair
• Dumbbells
• Fitball
• Kettlebell
• Recovery Band
• Resistance Band
• Resistance Tube
• Skipping Rope
• Step
• Weight Plates
• Yoga Mat

Many pieces on this list you may already have at home, or from previous Sweat programs. Kelsey has tried to utilise equipment that most home gym set-ups will already have available, but if these items are unavailable to you, we suggest using substitute equipment.

If I don't have access to the equipment, what can I use instead?

Some pieces of equipment do not have an exact equivalent, but we do have some suggestions of suitable substitutes you could incorporate into your workout:

• Adjustable Barbell - Dumbbells can be used instead.
   
• Resistance Tube - You can omit the resistance tube altogether if you have a recovery tube as these two items are interchangeable. 
  
  
• Bench - Any flat, stable surface will be suitable.
   
• Kettlebell - One large dumbbell (8-15kg) can be used instead.

The equipment required for the PWR at Home workouts will be used repeatedly throughout the program. Try to think of them as investment pieces — for your program and your health! 

How do I choose a weight that's right for me?

When it comes to selecting a weight for equipment, Kelsey always recommend to start small and increase in increments as your strength and confidence improves.

Select a weight that is a 7/10 difficulty (1 = very easy and 10 = maximum effort).
