Exercise Equipment

In order to have a complete home gym, you must have both types of exercise equipment: aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic equipment consists of treadmills, elliptical trainers, exercise bikes or rowers. They are the kind of exercise machines you use to lose weight, keep in shape and gain lean muscles. On the other hand, anaerobic equipment consists of push-up benches, extension presses, pulleys, or other equipment that you use for gaining muscle mass and shaping your physique the way you want. The difference between the two exercise equipment types is that you use the first to lose weight (or stop putting on more weight) and the second to gain muscle mass (or work out a specific muscle group).
