Planning a Home Gym - Review Your Actual Requirements

If you've decided to dive right in and set up your own home gym, before you buy any equipment you should carefully consider what kind of gear you really need. That may sound obvious, but take into account the following:

Cardio home gym

Even though one element within nearly all gyms will be the rows and lines of cardio equipment, normally machines for cycling, running and rowing, consider if it is something you actually need in your home gym.

Even though your answer may be "yes", if you lack space as well as money then why not instead invest in a pair of running shoes rather and hit the streets? Or, if you don't like running, you can get a cycle and do some genuine cycling instead of while using machine. And if you're simply getting started then enjoying a walk will start you off on your journey to excellent fitness.

Stretching

It is always important to stretch ahead of lifting weights to prevent muscle damage. The equipment required is quite minimal, generally a rubber ground mat and a strong wall, although you may furthermore benefit from wall bars and I like to guarantee correct posture and also alignment of myself when stretching and thus like a full length reflect too.

Weights best home gym

Some gyms provide exercise machines and free weights, the actual machines are expensive, take up quite a bit of space and can be only used for a handful of different workout routines at the maximum. Why not ditch the machines and employ free weights instead? If you purchase a set of adjustable dumbbells along with barbells, an exercise bench and weight stands you will be much more flexible of what you can do. There is a negative aspect though - several exercises may require anyone to "spot" you when using dumbbells.
