Gym at Home, Here are the Basics

#ED7D31 ;">Why Prefer A Home Gym?

Home gyms come with a host of benefits that can make it a better option for you. Time-saving is a huge factor as you save a lot of time maintaining workout schedules with your office times. You can work out anytime from the comfort of your home, and also personalize your routine rather than follow a generalized program. Make it look appealing by installing colored rugs or carpets as a room decor!

While outdoor gyms are based on subscriptions, and this is where home gyms become the Cost effective option. There are three main categories to look for when deciding on your home gym budget – weights, calisthenics, and cardio. Weights and cardio machines are the most expensive while you can set up the freehand gear anywhere you like.

A home gym is where you get to reap the many benefits of a personalized workout. You can get personal trainers to help you chalk up your perfect workout routine and consult a dietician to find out what works best for you.

This section includes almost all of the freehand exercises, but there is equipment you will need for calisthenics. Basic gear includes a pull-up bar, jump rope, fitness ball, and a dip stand. Advanced calisthenics includes a power tower, ab wheel, weighted vest, and gymnastic rings.

This is the most important category and also one of the most expensive if you don’t know what to buy. Cardio equipment has been widely debated and even now, most professionals would grudgingly agree there’s no substitute to old-fashioned running. Other equipment includes rowers, step-mills, Jacob’s ladder, stationary cycle, and the good old treadmill.

Probably the most awaited section, the weight category is relatively simple, and you can pretty much pull off any workout routine with just a pair of dumbbells. Remember, light weights are better for muscle tone, while heavyweights are needed for mass and build up.

Sport Specific Gyms

Home gyms for sports training is a little different as you have to invest in makeshift rings, punching bags, space for shadow boxing, etc. There are several levels in punching bags by increasing in weight and hardness, and you can consult with your trainer for specific training gear like mock dummies, benches, obstacle courses, etc.

#ED7D31 ;">Freehand and Yoga

You rarely need any gear for this, but if you are practicing indoors, mats are a good idea. Other equipment can include exercise balls for core training, jump ropes, and light weights, though these should not be used without first consulting your trainers.
