Exercise Equipment

I think that the most significant thing about exercise everybody should initially think about is that you should choose something you enjoy to do.
Picking something you will enjoy to do is the key to successfully continue with a program and will allow you to keep in form. A lot of people choose a type of exercise they do not like and for the wrong reason and the only thing those people will achieve is quitting exercising.
If you want to exercise at home and have to buy exercise equipment I suggest that before buying you should try a few different types of equipment. You can do this by trying them in a gym. Try them for a month or two and then you will have the feel of the type of exercise you will enjoy best. Once you know what you want, go shopping!

No, the title of this post is not erroneously mispelled… I’m always amazed by the ability of the human mind to invent a new spelling for words

Don't believe everything your exercise machine tells you
…The screen on the elliptical machine says you traveled four miles and burned 300 calories. Your heart is racing, and you’re soaked in sweat. Nice workout, true. Lots of calories burned? Well, maybe. Experts say you can be sure of the workout if you’re out of breath and sweating, but the calorie burn is another question…

Meet John. He works for a big “www” company in his town and spends 8 hours a day sitting at his desk, working on his computer. When John comes home from work, he crashes in his bed thinking: “Just a little rest and I’m off to the gym, half-way across town”. Now if you To continue reading Building a Home Gym click here

First thing you need is free space. If you have a big enough house, you can free up one of your rooms or if your garage is big enough (for example if you have a 2-car garage and only have one car), you can set up a small gym in there. Basements are also popular places for home gyms, so if you can loose the stuff in your basement, you can establish your workout grounds there. Another solution would be to set up the equipment on your yard, but weather will still be a major problem in this case. Depending on the number of exercise machines you want to use, you can set up your gym in any location of your household you feel comfortable training in.

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).

If the room permits it, try to have a machine that works each muscle group separately. For example, try to have a push-up bench for your chest, a press for your legs, some dumbbells or pulleys for your arms, a suspended grip for your back, etc. In addition to these, you should also have an aerobic exercise machine like a treadmill or an exercise bike, in order to keep the muscles you build at the other machines fat-free. Remember that in order to have a good looking body you must increase and shape your muscles and lose weight in order to fully exploit them.

Nowadays, when time is getting shorter and shorter, our health gets somewhat neglected in favor of our daily problems. In order to keep your body and mind healthy, you have two options: going to a gym and training on commercial exercise equipment, or buying home fitness equipment. In the following posts I will try to provide the required information, so you can choose between these two types of fitness equipment.

Home fitness equipment is cheaper, compared to commercial fitness equipment, but it also lacks the lifespan of the latter. Because of its nature, commercial exercise equipment will either be used by professional athletes or in gyms, thus being the subject of a great amount of stress. Commercial fitness equipment will most likely last longer and it will have a better warranty, but all these come at a much greater price. Because commercial exercise equipment manufacturers are less numerous as home fitness equipment ones, the rules of the capitalist market will apply: less competition, higher price.
