There are many benefits to having a gym membership.
However, it is now possible to have the same fitness gym
equipment at home. Giving you added benefits that a gym can
not offer. For example, you do not have to wait to use
something, you know it is clean, and you can workout
whenever you want to.
The hardest part of buying home fitness gym equipment is
knowing what to buy. In order to figure out what to buy you
need to think of the type of exercising you will be doing
and your price range. If you are primarily going to be
working on weight lifting, the obvious first purchase is
going to be weights.
The type of weights you are going to need will depend on
your budget and the outcome you are seeking. For the most
part, you should start with free weights that vary in
weight. Most fitness stores carry a variety of free weight
sets. You will also need a a bar with varying changeable
weights.
Eventually you will more than likely want to upgrade your
weight sets to a weight machine. This will help you target
specific areas of your body. Giving you the option to work
on only the muscle group in which you feel needs it. You
can also work on your legs with ease using a weight machine.
If you are contemplating purchasing a weight machine, you
should be prepared to spend a decent sum of money. The cost
and styles are going to vary greatly. Before you buy any
machine you should first browse a few different stores so
you have an idea of what you need and like. This also gives
you the chance to realistically set a budget.
Once you have an idea of what you want your machine to have
you can begin looking again. As you narrow your search
down, you should use the equipment in the store. This will
help you in determining if the size is appropriate and
comfortable for you. If the size is uncomfortable, you can
see if it is adjustable. If it is not, walk away because
you will more than likely end up hurting yourself if you
try to use it over an extensive period of time.
Recently stair steppers are growing in popularity. More
than likely because they are fairly small and have the
potential of giving a wonderful cardiovascular workout. The
cost of these can generally range from $80-$150. However,
if you are looking for a stair stepper that has all the
frills you can expect to spend upwards to $1,700, possibly
more.
Another popular machine for home fitness gym equipments are
treadmills. When looking to buy a treadmill you should keep
in mind, as with anything, you get what you pay for. You
can expect to pay a couple hundred dollars to about $2,500,
sometimes even more. Some treadmills come with all the
thrills and gadgets that you could ever want. However, the
most important part to buying a treadmill should be the
ease of working it. You will also want this to grow with
you. As your endurance increases you should be able to also
increase the speed and the resistance on the treadmill, so
you can continue to get the most out of your equipment for
years to come.
If you are going to be spending a substantial amount of
money on your new treadmill there are a few must have
things. First, it should have many gages and controls,
adjustable speeds and distances, measuring capabilities for
your speed and distance walked, and a heart rate monitor,
to mention just a few.
