1. kettlebell
A kettlebell is definitely one of those things that belong in every minimalist home gym. The kettlebells are space savingbecause they are small, you can train standing up and because you can buy them in the right weight for your needs.
With ballistic and tension exercises, you can improve both your strength, as well as agility, explosiveness, endurance and much more. The most important thing is that the kettlebell works many muscles at the same time and not just one muscle separately.
This kettlebell* I can highly recommend it to you.
