Planning a Home Gym * Review Your Actual Needs

If you've decided to take the plunge and set up your home gym, before you purchase any equipment you need to carefully consider what kind of gear you really need. That may appear obvious, but think about the following:

Cardio home gym

Whilst one element seen in nearly all gyms are the rows and lines of cardio equipment, normally machines for riding a bike, running and rowing, consider if it is something you really need in your home gym.

Whilst your answer may be "yes", should you lack space or even money then why don't you instead invest in a rugged pair of running shoes alternatively and hit the streets? Or, if you hate running, you can get a bicycle and do some real cycling instead of while using the machine. And if you're simply getting started then getting a walk will start you off on your journey to fantastic fitness.

Stretching

It will always be important to stretch before lifting weights to prevent muscle mass damage. The equipment essential is quite minimal, usually a rubber flooring mat and a reliable wall, although you may in addition benefit from wall watering holes and I like to make sure correct posture and alignment of my body system when stretching so like a full length reflect too.

Weights home gym

Some gyms provide exercise machines and free weights, the actual machines are expensive, take up quite a bit of space which enable it to be only useful for a handful of different physical exercises at the maximum. Why not dump the machines and make use of free weights instead? If you buy a set of adjustable dumbbells as well as barbells, an exercise bench along with weight stands you may be much more flexible in what you can do. There is a disadvantage though - a number of exercises may require a person to "spot" you when using free weights.
