Home Gym

Being fit is not only about looking good. It is a necessity. Being fit helps you to function efficiently at home and even at your work place. But remember fitness requires a whole lot of dedication. So while we have the determination to say fit our lifestyle and working schedule does not permit us to exercise and stay fit.

For busy people who do not have a gym nearby, it is best to have a home gym because it offers a lot of privacy and convenience. Every person is different in sense of stamina so every person requires different gym equipments in his home gym. First find out which body part you need to work on more.

In big cities you will have to be very careful about how much space you can afford to give to the gym. Before shopping the gym equipment you should be careful about the space you can give. Note the length, width and height of the room before you plan to set up a gym. A home gym can become a better gym because you can customize it as per your personal requirements. An ideal home gym should have free weights, dipping and chin machines, strength training equipment, some steppers and a Swiss or a medicine ball.

Free weights are the basic requirement for a gym. Avoid buying heavy dumbbells in the first go as more repetition with the same weights will prove more beneficial. Treadmill is a must for a gym and foldable treadmills are also available in the market. Medicine ball is also another must- have in an ideal gym. It is good not only for toning up your abs, but it is also excellent for an entire body workout.

Holistic fitness is not limited to body building and muscle strength and body building alone; it is more about physical and spiritual harmony. Pilates exercise is all about that. Pilates work wonders on women. It enhances the strength without developing huge muscles. So Pilates are a must for a home gym. above all fitness is a lifetime goal and not a quick remedy.
