Whether you are missing the gym or already love working out from home, being restricted to only “in-home” activities doesn’t mean your workout needs to suffer.
Personally I started working out from home a while ago when it just made sense for my schedule (plus you are in control of the environment and never have to get in line of the equipment.)
So where do you start? These are the top 3 additions to build out your home gym and provide the ultimate in range of exercises. Personally, I went for products that provided a ton of flexibility but did not take up a lot of space. That way the “work out zone” is there when I need it, and out of the way when I don’t.
#1 – A Great Bench:
FLYBIRD Weight Bench, Adjustable Strength Training Bench for Full Body Workout with Fast Folding- 2020 Version This was a game changer! Adding this allowed for full range of motion in my workouts. At first I started with out the bench and I really felt like major muscle groups were lacking. With this bench addition, it made the workouts complete.
#2 – Adjustable Weights
Anbo 40LB Adjustable Kettlebells with Handle for Men Women, Kettle Bell Weights Set Strength Training Exercise Lifting Workout This is an excellent addition to the home gym as it gives you all the flexibility and full body workout you find in traditional kettlebells but takes up WAY less space! Personally I bought a set of two, allowing for an incredible workout.
If you already have traditional dumbbells – start with that. This is about getting active and with the bench above combined with body weight exercises you can really get a great workout.
#3 – The Medicine Ball
AmazonBasics Medicine Ball for Workouts Exercise Balance Training is an excellent home gym staple. Offering just the right amount of additional weight and focus for your muscles to really get the workout they need. I find this to be my go to piece for core training and love the variety it adds to push ups.
Power pack your home gym, work those muscles – summer beach time is on the way!
