Building A Gym At Home

Let's assume that you are at the point of decision: you are going to build your own exercise domain, and as previously blogged, you have already decided to include your children in this enterprise and take advantage of this opportunity to be with your kids while they grow up. And, of course, you can always enter your home gym by yourself and work out to your heart's content because you have the keys to both doors!

Now let's place the home gym equipment in your home gym! I see that Matt Weik, a bodybuilding expert for BodyBuilding.com has ranked five separate Home Gyms from respected companies for price, customer service, quality of product, and warranties, convenience, need for maintenance and size of equipment. Out of these, I would choose for myself a machine that has a lifetime warranty, and a weight stack loader (a little cheaper). The price of this would be moderate and would fit into the garage conversion plans and still accommodate the children's work-out area.

Place the equipment in your Home Gym Room so there is plenty of room around the "kids corner" for the other play and resting that children do. ( Remember that you have already laid a piece of second-hand carpet, bound or unbound, on your garage floor). I like the idea of throwing down two or three large pillows on the floor for wiggle time for the kids. Because the above equipment has all the necessities already on it, you do not have to buy each piece separately. Since you now have a basis for strength training you can consider a stationary bike for aerobic training.

For aerobic/cardio training be aware that your heart gets used to the same exercises day after day and it becomes more difficult to burn calories and you must work harder and longer to achieve the same results. So, for exercising your heart, you should have at least two different ways of exercising. These can be done without machines as high impact, high intensity routines with no rest for a period of time. One of these choices could be a good jump rope. These exercises, used alternately, will guarantee that you are increasing your natural abilities and will be ready for a challenge to your body and will comprise the balance of your Home Gym.

If you wish to further embellish this hallowed place, find a couple of posters that the kids will like, maybe let them pick out what they want. For the sake of your own boredom, or desire to have something to think about while you exercise, why not write out a copy in large black letters of the exercises you plan to carry out and hang them where you can see them and adhere to them each day. Also, there are posters galore that will motivate you to "stay focused," books to read while on the stationery bicycle, maybe some nutritional reminders for the whole family. Put up a "before" picture if you are in it for weight loss and follow-up at goal time with an "after" picture. This is part of the fun of exercising, because you know you and your family will be happier and healthier and look 100% better!
