Self-isolating doesn’t mean you have to let your workout go to the dogs—you don’t have to succumb to the Quarantine 15. If you’re working with limited space, though, staying active may not be so easy. Not all of us have well-stocked home gyms, after all, and while it’s great to see so many people sharing their bodyweight workouts, sometimes you need a little bit more.

That’s where the Gorilla Bow portable home gym comes. Hang on—sure, you’re skeptical at the words “portable home gym,” but hear us out. Men’s Health Fitness Editor Brett Williams raves about it: “The Gorilla Bow might look a little ridiculous at first glance, but it's a truly remarkable training tool. It can help to make your at-home workouts more robust by providing an anchor for resistance bands without taking up a ton of space,” he says.

Saving space is great, especially if you’re already starting to feel a bit claustrophobic. And the bow is easy to use. “Conceptually, it's super simple,” says Williams. “Just loop the band (or bands) around the bow's teeth, then finagle your positioning to complete reps of familiar barbell exercises like squats, presses, rows, and more. I've been using mine exclusively for my training for a week, and I'm finding myself more challenged that I've felt using more traditional resistance in a long time."

That’s a ringing endorsement from a guy who literally makes his living knowing about these things. If the Gorilla Bow has piqued your interest, it’s on sale now at Amazon—you can save $50, bringing the price down to just under $180.
