Moat of the cheap home gym equipment is, well, sh!te.
multigyms for example, tend to be complete tat unless they cost a few grand.
The best cheap home equipment for bodybuilding and fitness would have to be:
- long looped Resistance bands
- Doorframe pull up bar
- Kettltebells
the great thing with pull up bars and bands, is you can combine the two to make pull ups easier or even harder.
you can anchor the band to a kettlebell on the floor for example and tie it to your belt or around your waist to make pull ups harder.
for a home cardio machine, I’d say you need to spend at least 500 quid for a decent:
air bike
ski machine
rower
Good treadmills tend to cost a bit more.
bodyweight exercises are great too.
kneeling press ups, press ups, Hindu press Ups, single arm press ups, chin ups, squats, single leg pistol squats, lunges, reverse lunges, bupees- its easy yo put together a workout for any fitness level when you know how. Just search on YouTube for a bodyweight work for beginners or advanced.
