MAKE YOUR OWN GYMNASIUM

TIME - This is something that one is always short off. Many people give this excuse that they dont find sufficient time to go to gym, or they have to wait too long waiting for their turn to use the equipment. So lets dedicate this post to them and how they can overcome their excuse. Setting a small personal gymnasium at home can solve all the above issues. You can exercise at any time you are free, be it a little late at night or finishing your workout before newspaper arrives at your doorstep.

However few points need to be taken care before setting up your own gymnasium.

1. Evaluate your goals: Fitness equipments dont come cheap. So it's important to invest properly aiming specifically at the target that you want to achieve. e.g: If you are looking to shred some kilos, then buying a cardio machine along with a multi gym might solve your purpose. If you can bench close to 150lbs, then buying 1000lbs of weights might only waste money.

2. Proper research of equipment: Do a proper research of the equipment you are inclined to purchase before zeroing onto it. Don't go by someone's else words. At the end of the day, you have to workout and if you are not satisfied with the equipment, it's money down the drain.

3. Pick the right equipment: Pick the equipment as per personal needs only. Commercial equipments are more sturdy. However sturdiness is associated with cost. If you or your family members are only going to use, then go for lighter personal versions instead of commercial ones.

4. Begin Slowly: Do not set up the whole gym at once. Start with one thing at a time, and if you are able to maintain a regular regime, then slowly start increasing the variety that you use. For someone who is looking for muscle building, it is a good idea to start with a set of dumbells, an olympic rod and some basic weights.
This will avoid spending on equipment that one rarely or never uses.

5. Have ample space: Lastly and most importantly, make space for your equipment before setting out on a shopping spree.Measure the dimensions of the space where you want to keep your gym stuff, and purchase equipment as per that. The space should have good ventialtion system. Install a music system or a tv in your workout area. This way you wont miss onto your favourite program while you are attending to your fitness needs.


HAVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE!!!!
