Is there anyone who REALLY enjoys going to the public gyms to exercise? Why not create your own home gym that caters to the needs you want to target? Not only that, you save the money on membership fees, and you don’t have to worry how you look in a workout suit!

        There’s actually even some equipment that you can get and use in your home for less than the cost of memberships to some of these gyms. Some cost more than others, and some are more advanced than the next one. It’s up to you to decide what exercises you want to focus on, and find the proper equipment for it. Here are some popular items to include in your home gym:

 

  Mini Trampolines –

         These can be great for your at-home exercise program. They are fun, easy to do, and can be used just about anywhere in your house. Use them in the bedroom, or move them to the living room. They are usually fairly lightweight, and fold easily to be stored in closets or under the bed.

  Hand Weights –

         These are relatively cheap, and are a great option for toning up muscles in your body. Hand weights come in a variety of different sizes, so there’s something for beginners to advanced users. These are also easy to store away in closets when not being used.

  Stationary Bikes –

         These are one of the most common pieces of at-home exercise equipment. Most people invest in a stationary bike because it’s one of the easiest things to use to stay in shape. You can ride it while watching TV, or listening to the radio. It isn’t complicated to use, and can give you a great work out.

  Stepping Block –

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

         If aerobics is an important part of your exercise routine, you should consider picking up a stepping block. The step will increase burning of calories, and can help tone up your legs and buttocks. The steps adjust to whatever height you need for your personal fitness program, and can also be easily stored away in the closet or under the bed.

  Exercise Ball –

         These work great for stretching your muscles, and can make exercising more interesting for you. There are a wide variety of sizes to choose from, they are inexpensive, and they are also easy to store.

  Jump Rope –

         The jump rope is starting to make a comeback as a popular piece of exercise equipment. It’s easy to do, fun, and an excellent way to burn calories. Not only that, they now even have jump ropes without the rope! With a cordless jump rope, an electronic device actually counts the repetitions for you. You can start to look forward to your exercise routine, and even bring back some fond memories from your childhood.

  More Expensive Options –

         There are also some great pieces of equipment that you can add to your home gym, which are more expensive. They aren’t required, but are nice if you can afford them. The more popular ones include the treadmill, rowing machine, stair climber, elliptical trainer and skiing machines. Obviously, these are much bigger and are not as easy to store.

        Anyone can start an exercise routine in their own home, eliminating the need to travel to a gym to get their exercise for the day. Exercise can be fun, which is necessary for success.
