Low Cost Home Gym Ideas That Do not Eat Up All the Space in your Home
There are various home gyms on the market today, both in stores and from info-mercials on television. Here we will address a few.
We start with the P.A.S.T. 2-in-1 Exercise System. This exercise system comes with boards, adapters for carpet and hard floors, handles as well as a device for push-ups, and bands that stay put when looped underneath. You can also download the free Workout Videos from their Web site. This particular home gym costs roughly $120. A simple google search on P.A.S.T. 2-in-1 will reveal ths results you need on further information in regards to this particular home gym.
Michele Bender of Health magazine reported in the July 2007 issue that if you are interested in purchasing equipment for a home gym you should spend time using Exercise Equipment in the store so you will be able to tell what a Home Workout would be like, and advises you to consider how you plan to use the equipment.
The June 2007 issue of Shape magazine gives great tips on creating a home gym that "fits under your bed". Use a Yoga Mat as a Balance Board, by "Tightly roll your yoga mat and then stand on it with feet slightly wider than hips. Extend your arms in front of you at shoulder height, palms facing down. Lower into a squat; slowly rise up and repeat. Do 3 sets of 15 to 20 reps." Transform dumbbells into an ab roller by doing the following. "Hold a dumbbell in each hand, kneel, and place each weight on a towel, hands slightly wider than shoulders and palms facing each other. Push the weights forward until body is aligned from head to knees. Pull the weights back to return to start; repeat. Do 2 sets of 6 to 8 reps." You can turn a Medicine Ball into your very own massager. They recommend the following: "Get into plank position on forearms and toes and place a medicine ball (any weight will do) underneath your right thigh. Slowly lower your leg onto it. Shift your body forward and back so the ball moves from your hip to your knee; breathe deeply. Repeat on opposite side." Finally, use a Jump Rope to stretch your legs. Do the following: "Lie on your back with legs extended. Bend right knee toward chest, place the middle of a jump rope around the arch of your foot, and hold ends of rope in hands. With foot flexed, extend right leg toward ceiling. When you feel a stretch, hold for 15 seconds. Switch legs." Four simple techniques of equipment that can fit under your bed, and costs less than $100.
If you want some good tips on how to fit home gyms into small spaces, user these suggestions as outlined by Mark Tidwell in the April edition of Atlanta magazine. It has been suggested that folding treadmills are good cordio choices that take up little room. On the walls, big mirrors can add dimension to a small space and are useful with workout technique and form. One is advised to buy only those pieces of equipment which are to be used.
As you read these are just a few of the many ways to create a home gym, both commercially and creatively, and not break the bank or need an entire room to get in and stay in good shape.
