fitness equipment


Many of us our choosing to work out at home rather than at the neighborhood gym. If you don't need or want the camaraderie of working out with an organized class than this would be for you. The home gym needs some very basic fitness equipment in order to be effective although it need not be expensive. In a pinch I have used soup or vegetable cans as fitness equipment. I have hooked my feet under a chair or couch to do some sit ups. Sometimes I just walk up and down the stairs as it can emulate the stair stepper at an organized gym.

I have some basic fitness equipment in my home gym and it did not cost a lot to get these items together. I have an exercise bike, hand weights, an exercise tube, big and small exercise balls, a mat, a few motivational videos and some tunes. In a room I have designated as my home gym I have installed a television and video/CD player, plus I use an old boom box to play tunes. With this simple fitness equipment I can do a good workout at home without wasting gas and time driving back and forth to the gym. I like it alot!
