Looking to prioritize your health this year but not a fan of expensive gym memberships? Getting in shape in your own home gym can help you achieve your fitness goals. It also eliminates any excuses for not getting to the gym.
Here are some tips on getting started. Picking the right fitness equipment will set you on the path to success.
You can start with inexpensive but impactful gear, like exercise mats, resistance bands and a bench to sit on. The roll-up mats and resistance bands can be used anywhere in your home, even if you do not have a designated gym space.
From there, you can get started with weights by purchasing an affordable suspension trainer and expanding into barbells. If you’re trying to save space, adjustable barbells are a great choice. When it comes to cardio, you have your choice of treadmill, stationary bike, elliptical and more.
Some of the most useful gym gear isn’t just the exercise equipment itself, but pieces like fans, mirrors and storage racks. Shock absorption mats are also helpful to have in your home gym.
