Yoga blocks aren’t the first piece of gym equipment I think of when I want to train my core, build upper body strength, or grow lean muscle mass. Nevertheless, this $10 accessory doesn’t just level up your yoga routine but also increases intensity during bodyweight exercises.

Yoga block strength exercises are the perfect way to intensify bodyweight or resistance band workouts without much equipment at your disposal, which means that you can do this anywhere if you have a yoga block or two to hand. So don’t worry about dumbbells, kettlebells, or gym machines to try them.
