FAQ

Is it "workout" or "work out"?

Short answer: both — it depends on how you use it.

  • "Workout" is a noun or adjective: e.g., "I did a workout" or "workout clothes."
  • "Work out" is a verb phrase: e.g., "I like to work out in the morning."

When searching for gear on the site, try the noun form for classes and gear ("workout shoes") and the verb form when reading how-to content ("how to work out safely").

What's a good workout plan to lose weight?

There isn't a one-size-fits-all plan, but effective plans usually combine several elements. Consider this balanced approach:

  • Cardio: 3–5 sessions weekly for steady calorie burn (walking, cycling, treadmill).
  • Strength training: 2–3 sessions to preserve muscle and boost metabolism.
  • Progression: Gradually increase duration, intensity, or resistance over weeks.
  • Recovery: Rest days and sleep matter for progress.

Track workouts and food roughly, choose equipment that fits your space, and consult a healthcare or fitness pro if you have medical concerns. Walmart offers a range of gear and delivery/pickup options to get started.

Can I build muscle with just free weights?

Yes, free weights can be very effective for building muscle when used correctly. Key points:

  • Focus on compound moves: squats, deadlifts, presses, and rows recruit multiple muscles.
  • Progressive overload: increase weight, reps, or sets over time.
  • Variety and volume: aim for multiple sets per muscle group each week.
  • Equipment choices: adjustable dumbbells, barbells, and plates give flexibility—look for solid construction and the right weight range for your goals.

Pair training with adequate nutrition and rest, and consider a trainer for program design or form checks. Walmart carries a wide selection and delivery options to help outfit a home setup.

What is the 5-3-1 rule?

The 5-3-1 approach is a strength progression method built around main lifts using sets of five, three, and one rep to increase strength over time. Here's a simple breakdown:

  • Structure: work through sets with higher reps at lighter intensity, then lower-rep sets at higher intensity (commonly a week-by-week cycle).
  • Focus: emphasize a few major lifts—then accessory work supports those lifts.
  • Progression: intensity or load is increased gradually across cycles rather than all at once.

This is one of many programming styles; it can be helpful for steady strength gains but may need adjustment for beginners. If you plan heavy lifts, check equipment specs and consider coaching for form and safety.

What is the 12/3/30 treadmill workout?

The 12/3/30 workout is a treadmill routine described as 12% incline, 3 mph speed, for 30 minutes. It’s an incline walking session that raises heart rate without running. Things to keep in mind:

  • Intensity: incline increases effort while keeping impact low.
  • Safety: start at lower incline or shorter duration if you're new, hold the rails lightly if needed, and wear supportive shoes.
  • Equipment: confirm your treadmill supports 12% incline and steady speed.

Results depend on consistency, overall activity, and nutrition. Consult a healthcare provider if you have health concerns before starting a new program. Walmart offers treadmills and accessories with delivery and installation options to consider.

About Exercise & Fitness - Walmart.com

Get Active with Exercise and Fitness Equipment

Investing in exercise equipment is an investment in your health and happiness. Being able to exercise despite the weather or time of day makes it much easier to workout regularly. Whether you choose a full stack of weights with cardio equipment or you simply want some dumbbells and a yoga mat, the products in Walmart's Exercise and Fitness department will help you get moving and stay healthy. If you need to improve your health or if you want to maintain your current level of fitness, this part of our site is your ideal destination. We offer a wide variety of equipment at everyday low prices, making it easy to put regular workouts within reach. Expensive gym memberships aren't the only way to get the job done, and in fact, having equipment of your own at home can save you money in the long run while making it harder to skip a workout due to the proximity of your exercise equipment.

Exercise machines

Treadmills, stationary bikes, elliptical trainers, stair climbers, and other types of motorized exercise equipment can make the task of getting your cardio in much simpler. This is especially true if you live in a crowded area or experience frequent foul weather that makes it unappealing or even dangerous to go for a walk, run, or cycle outdoors. Cardio exercise is an important part of the whole picture of health and wellness, and if you're currently living a sedentary lifestyle that doesn't include much movement, bringing a cardio machine home can make a world of difference. If you can replace even a few hours of stationary time each week with movement, you'll be on the right track to a better mood. Our Exercise Machines category also includes home gyms, inversion trainers, and other strength and weight training equipment so you can get assistance with form or do specific exercises you can't do with free weights or resistance training.

Strength and weight training

Walmart's Strength & Weight Training section has everything you need to build muscle and take care of anaerobic exercise requirements. From weight benches to dip stands and pushup stands, this equipment can give you the support and assistance you need to work out as efficiently and completely as you'd at the gym. If you don't have room for this kind of heavy equipment in your home, this section is still a good resource. There are a lot of muscle-building and strength-conditioning exercises to do with dumbbells, barbells, and other types of free weights. We even offer some adjustable-weight hand weight sets that are compact and efficient, so you can have a complete workout and step up your strength without taking up a lot of space. Whether you have a full garage or basement to fill with workout equipment or you just have a corner of an apartment or dorm room, you'll find options to suit your needs.

Yoga and Pilates

Cardio and weight training aren't the only ways to get fit. Yoga and Pilates are two increasingly popular strategies for building flexibility, strength, and endurance. From simple equipment like mats and blocks to more advanced kits with straps and cords, you'll find the equipment you need to perform your mat Pilates or yoga routines at home. If you're new to these two exercise techniques, you can learn what they're all about and get some guidance on how to perform the moves with yoga and Pilates DVDs. Taking private yoga or Pilates lessons can be expensive, but you can still practice these exercises at home on a budget with the supplies and equipment in this section.

Activewear for the family

The right clothes can make it much more comfortable to exercise. Clothing that moves with your body and doesn't restrict your range of motion can help you run, stretch, bend, and lift without interference. Lightweight, modern activewear fabrics are also cooler and more comfortable to wear for exercise than standard street clothes. If you're trying to get your family more active, having the right wardrobe basics can make it a lot easier to get moving and make regular physical activity a part of your lifestyle. Activewear pants, shorts, capris, tees, tanks, jackets, socks, and shoes are available through the Exercise and Fitness department. We've divided our activewear offerings by size range, making it easy for you to find just what you need. From athletic clothes for kids to big and tall men's sizes and maternity options for pregnant women, we offer activewear options for each and every type of person in every phase of their fitness journey. Don't let a lack of athletic clothes stop you from getting the activity you need. You'll find just the clothes you need in your size in this section.
