SWEAT IT OUT AT HOME

Social distancing or not, some of the most productive workout takes place within the confines of your home. In addition to physical and mental benefits, exercising at home has some serious convenience benefits sans the expense of a gym membership.

With the rise of at-home workout online programs and coaching, functional fitness workouts and easy availability of wearable fitness trackers, many health enthusiasts feel a lot more at ease and stimulated to work up a sweat at home. And for many people, home is also a pressure-free zone to exercise as they find gyms a little overawing.

YOUR ULTIMATE HOME GYM

With so much of uncertainty around at present, investing in a home gym has become a priority for many and there may not be a better time than now! Creating a space for your personal health and fitness within the haven that we call ‘home’ can be a valuable tool for the overall betterment.

First and foremost, take some time to consider what kind of training you want to do before you head out of the door to buy gymming articles. Then figure out about the space and what kinds of equipment you need in order to be successful in your home gym endeavours. Frankly, all it takes is a modest financial investment, and you’ll never have to worry about gym schedules again.



READY TO BUILD YOUR PERSONAL GYM?

Let’s get to work –

• Work around the space you have

Find the perfect spot! Space, location and gym setup increases the chance of achieving maximum workout benefits while maintaining design arrangement with the rest of the house. Preferably, fitness spaces should be as spacious as possible to enable diverse workouts but when space is limited, the key is to pick workouts that don't need a lot of it. If you have a spare room, you have hit the jackpot! But if space is a constraint then devote an unused corner of your bedroom or living room to sweat it out.

• Budget to start off…

Budget is one of the primary concerns for most people who are planning to put together a home training area. Building a home gym doesn’t have to be explicitly exorbitant. You can build a home fitness center for more or less any amount of money. Start with the very basics and be on the lookout for upgrades whenever needed. Your personal fitness space will shape up over time and you can make additions as and when the time and price suits you.

• Basic and essential equipments to stock

A few basic and essential pieces of equipment is all you need to start off! No matter what your goal is - whether you’re looking to lose weight or gain muscle or just pilates and stretching, you can see success using the following items:

• Yoga mat
• Resistance bands
• A kettlebell or two
• Medicine balls
• Jump rope
• Dumbbells
• Ankle weights

 There are multitudes of equipment that can be added later on, after these basics are met.

A home gym can be exactly how you envision it. You can make it look the way you want it to, blare your favorite tune, and you’ll never need to wait for your turn to use equipment ever again.
