'I shopped Aldi's middle aisle and found fitness equipment for less than £10 - my top five picks'

Browsing through Aldi's iconic 'middle aisle' section is truly a wondrous experience.

The budget supermarket's eclectic range of items - also known as SpecialBuys- has gained a legion of fans who wait patiently for the newest items every Tuesday and Thursday.

From sell-out hanging egg chairs to children's toys, the German grocer's middle aisle is truly a treasure trove of unique items that you didn't know you needed. Let's face it, how many times have you went in for your weekly groceries only to walk out with an ironing board or new kettle?

Don't worry, we have all done it. And I, for one, am a shopper who can't resist a quick trip down the iconic middle aisles, even if I have just popped in for some bread and milk.

Naturally, as I am such a fan of browsing through those Aldi's Aladdin's cave of unique items, I decided to pop by once again, just because I could.

And, if you are looking to keep yourself in shape during for the rest of the summer months, then Aldi has you covered with a range of home gym equipment that won't break the bank.

The supermarket's latest middle aisle range includes a variety of different fitness gear that can be used from your home, meaning you don't have to cough up money for monthly subscription to your local gym.

What's even better, is that every piece of equipment I could find was priced at below £10 - so, you can keep yourself fit and healthy without breaking the bank.

From ab wheels and jumping ropes to push up bars and foam rollers, here were the top five pieces of gym equipment for less than £10 in Aldi this week.

Push Up Bars

Price: £4.99

We all know that push-up's are a great way to tone your upper body muscles, but can we all agree that it can be a pain on your hands and wrists at times? If, like me, you find your wrists buckling under pressure, then get yourself these soft-covered push-up bars for that bit of extra support.

Kettlebell's - 4kg,6kg,8kg

Price: £8.99

Kettlebells are a great addition to any home gym, but they can often be a bit on the pricier side - which is why these kettlebells are an absolute steal!

Foam Roller Smooth/Spiked

No workout is complete without a cool down to relax and soothe your muscles, which is why I loved these cheap foam rollers. They are perfect for massaging sore muscles and you don't need to be an avid gym buff to get the benefits from one.
