Home Gym Setup - Simple As 1 2 3
By Fred Fishburne
You will need very little equipment to train
the entire body at home. You will need a set of dumbbells containing
several different size weights for weight training. You can workout
without a flat bench, but it would be very handy and inexpensive to
have one.
You will also need a way to do cardio. If you
have stairs in you home you have a built in stair master. Stationary
bikes can be inexpensive and a great way to do cardio. You don't need
to buy some expensive cardio machine to get twenty minutes of cardio
three times per week.
A body ball is inexpensive and has many different
uses. It is great for abs, can also be used in place of a flat bench
and can be worked into cardio exercises. Body balls come in three
different sizes according to height. That's about all you will need
to get started.
Find a place in your home that you can set
aside for training, if possible. Make this a place that you can go
to and be motivated to train each day. Your training space should
be as much of a part of your home as any other space. It should be
very special to you. Keep it clean and in order.
Place motivational pictures and quotes that
inspire you where you can see them while you are training. A wall
mirror is important to help you maintain proper form while weight
training. Have a calendar and marker handy to track your training
sessions. After every training session mark that day off with a big
checkmark as a sign of success. See how many checkmarks you can get
in a row as a personal challenge and before you know it you will be
fit.
