But, let&#8217;s be honest, making it to an actual gym on a routine basis isn\u2019t always practical or even possible, so home fitness products are a great option for a lot of folks.<\/p>\n<p>The developers behind the <strong>Pocket<\/strong> <strong>Monkii <\/strong>have designed a highly compact home gym tool that works on similar suspension principles used by a few existing products. It hooks into the top of a door, and by using high-strength bands, you can do a lot of strength and core training exercises.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you want to try variations of chest fly exercises, pull-ups for a back workout, or single leg squats by using the Pocket Monkii to lift the leg you\u2019re not working. there are a ton of possibilities to incorporate into your own fitness regimen. This is best for people who either don\u2019t have the time to make it to a gym, or who maybe travel so frequently they need their exercise equipment to go with them wherever they are.<\/p>\n<p>Check out this video explaining how the product works:<\/p>\n<div class=\"arve-wrapper\" data-mode=\"normal\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-bqQZx4m9Kpk\" style=\"max-width:702px;\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\">\n<div class=\"arve-embed-container\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.250000%\"><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/bqQZx4m9Kpk?iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=1&amp;autoplay=0\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" frameborder=\"0\" name sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/bqQZx4m9Kpk?iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;autoplay=0\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>So head over to their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/monkiibars\/a-gym-in-your-pocket-monkiitm\">Kickstarter page<\/a> if you\u2019re interested in backing them with a small donation, or a larger one with some great perks!<\/p>\n<p>Also remember that you can shop more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/categories\/8431\/Gym+Equipment?utm_source=blog.pricecheck.co.za&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=PriceCheck%20Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gym gear and accessories<\/a> through PriceCheck!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/categories\/8431\/Gym+Equipment?utm_source=blog.pricecheck.co.za&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=PriceCheck%20Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21641\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pricecheck.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers.png\" alt=\"view offers\" width=\"314\" height=\"60\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers.png 550w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers-300x57.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 314px) 100vw, 314px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Check out the <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><a style=\"color: #339966;\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.pricecheck.co.za\/category\/health-fitness-beauty-fashion-recipes-travel-entertainment-news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lifestyle section<\/a><\/span>\u00a0on the blog for more health, fitness, travel, and entertainment content!<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pint-sized home gym, known as the Pocket Monkii, has been invented and is seeking funding on Kickstarter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":22368,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"amp_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2849,2850],"tags":[346,365,2989,2922,2364,413,3443,1458,2362],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Pocket-Monkii.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22365"}],"collection":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22365"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22365\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22367,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22365\/revisions\/22367"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
