One of the best ways to blow off steam and enhance your health is to exercise. While the act of exercising itself is free, almost any worthwhile routine is going to require some equipment, be they shoes, weights, or mats. While these are necessary costs that can help boost the efficacy of your workout, they add up over time. Add the cost of fitness accessories to the already heightened costs of the holidays, and you can easily drain your wallet. We believe that price should never be an obstacle for fitness and that, with a little looking, you can find great items for an even greater deal. With that philosophy in mind, we’ve curated a list of accessible fitness products under $50 so you can gift yourself, or the meathead in your life, this holiday season.

Sure, it’s a hair over $50, but it’s worth the extra bucks for the killer workout it provides.
