Should You Get Your Own Home Gyms

By Carol

Like most people, you've probably decided that this year will be the year that you'll finally get into shape. You resolutely tell yourself that you'll tone down and get that washboard stomach. And you know what that means...hours, and hours of working out at the gym. So let's discuss the merits of setting up a home gym.

The number one benefit of having a home gym is convenience. If you're like most people, you don't have a lot of time to work out, not to mention driving across down to a gym. So why not just have a gym in the comfort of your own home? Not only is it going to save gas and cut back on travelling time, but you'll more likely burn more calories since everything you need is right in you house.

Another advantage is money. Monthly fees and training sessions can add up, making working out at your local gym a bit pricey. Perhaps if you spent hours there everyday, it would all be worth it. But let's be honest, just how much time do we spend at the gym? Just how often do you really go, and it worth what you're paying for? Having your own gym is only a one time investment, and you're free to work out as much as you want, whenever you want.

A lot of people also feel a bit uncomfortable working out in public. Let's face it, it's not easy working out next to some athlete with a six pack, while you're there trying to get rid of your beer belly. For some people, it can be a bit embarassing. Having a home gym will let you work out from the privacy of your own home, so you can work out away from prying eyes and at your own pace.

But before you go out and break the bank buying all these expensive equipment, consider the amount of money that you might have to spend. Set a budget, and buy only what you can afford. It may be tempting to get everything you see, but you don't have to buy them all once. You can start by purchasing a few equipment, gradually adding on to it when you start to build more complex routines as your workout progresses.

One good place to start is by investing in a treadmill or a medicine ball. Those two pieces of equipment are more than enough to prime you for more advanced workouts.

So I hope these few tips have been a great help, and you'll be running out to start your own gym! Remember that this is the year that you will get into shape, so be resolute and don't delay this any longer! - 17274
