The Home Gym: Essential Equipment

December 30, 2020 by chorton Leave a Comment

Getting in shape is a goal for so many people. And we often get so caught up in our day-to-day lives that it gets pushed further and further back on our list of priorities. If you were able to have a gym at home, you may take time to work out every day. What do you need to make your home gym functional? Let’s take a closer look at the essential equipment you can buy without breaking the bank.

Exercise mat
Whether your home gym is a dedicated space or you use the floor of your bedroom, you need a quality exercise mat. There are many on the market, and the most popular are those thin foam rolls used for yoga classes. You can use them exclusively for yoga, but they also help facilitate your other exercises such as pushups, situps and more.

Kettlebell
Experts may suggest that you need a wide variety of weights, such as dumbbells, but if you’re not a seasoned weightlifter, starting with something small and easy can be a great bet. For many people, the kettlebell is the best solution. This small weight can be purchased in a variety of sizes and can be used on its own or in conjunction with other exercises such as squats and lunges.

Stability ball
To work your core, which will help you maintain good strength in your lower back and prevent back pain, a stability ball can be fun and exciting. You can use yours for warmups and stretching and also work with it to build your core strength and improve your posture.

Stationary bike 
If you have a little more money to invest, there are a few larger exercise machines that may be a benefit for you, including stationary bikes, which many people opt for in their homes. Biking, whether upright or recumbent, is a great cardio workout. Many newer machines have built-in trainers or even trail simulations to provide a more real experience.

Elliptical 
An elliptical machine is also popular. It offers a low-impact workout that is good for both your upper and lower body. Ellipticals are designed to work with the body’s natural motion, from the foot to the knees to the hip, up the spine and into the shoulders.

Treadmill 
Of course, you may opt for a regular treadmill, and that’s just fine. If you’re not in a position where you can walk around your neighborhood, a treadmill is a good substitute. It can be used for walking or running, and many have settings for increased incline and speed.
