Two heavy kettlebells are the next best thing to a bar and plates. A weight of between 20 and 24 kilograms (45 to 52 pounds) is recommended.
By using the kettlebells individually or together, you can focus on almost every muscle group by squatting, swinging, pressing, pulling, or pushing them.**

Gymnastic rings or suspension straps can be used to do pull-ups and rows. They are also used for some ab exercises.
Both gymnastic rings and suspension straps can be mounted to a sturdy door.

Gymnastic rings

Consider what you're trying to achieve.
<ul>
<li>If your goal is general health and well-being, a pleasant stroll is sufficient.</li>
<li>If you want to lift heavy weights, there isn't a minimalist setup that can replicate a barbell. While a barbell and weight plates would let you do almost everything, you need quite a bit of room to use them, ideally an outdoor area or a garage.</li>
</ul>

Expanding your gym

Two kettlebells might not be enough resistance for movements like squats and deadlifts. Some resistance or pull-up bands can increase resistance when you do "sumo-style" squats and deadlifts by looping one band around your wide-spread feet and through the handles of the kettlebells.
Add a wooden broom handle, and you have a wide range of new exercises. With a stick and a band, you can do many pulling exercises.
