3 Best Pieces of Exercise Equipment for Your Own Home

February 22, 2018 by Lance Richmond Leave a Comment

Going to the gym can be time consuming, and many people have trouble finding the time and motivation to get dressed, drive to the gym, complete their workout, and then drive back home. With families to take care of and obligations to work, friends, and a home life, it can be hard to fit in a trip to the gym. Because of this, more and more people are opting for home gyms.

One of the easiest ways to increase your fitness without any special equipment is to start a walking regimen. Walking can be a great way burn a few extra calories without any risk of injury. If you own a dog, you can even multitask by taking your dog for a long walk after dinner. Your dog will love it and your body will thank you. In this day and age, it can be all too easy to spend your day sitting at a desk before coming home to sit in front of a tv or a computer. Many people get little or no physical activity during the course of a normal day, and over time this can cause countless negative effects on your long term health.

Home Gym Equipment Options

Finding a way to fit in some exercise is important, and fortunately there are enough different options that you are sure to be able to find something that works for your lifestyle. There are plenty of bodyweight exercises that you can do at home without any special equipment, but if you have moved beyond that or you want to try something new, you might be wondering about the best pieces of exercise equipment for your own home.

If you are new to building a home gym, you probably do not want to spend a ton of money on your setup. On the other hand, if you work out at home on a regular basis, you might be looking for a way to upgrade your home gym or add another piece of equipment to your existing set up. Everyone’s needs are different, but we have put together a list of our favorite pieces of equipment for your own home. Consider these ideas before you purchase any exercise equipment for your home gym.

#1 Best Piece of Equipment for Your Home Gym: A Punching Bag

While walking and running are great in that they can be done without any special equipment, it can be difficult to engage in these forms of cardio when the weather is bad. When the weather is nice, outdoor cardio is tough to beat. But when the weather is less than ideal, it can be difficult to find the motivation to keep up your outdoor cardio routine. In areas with icy winters or hot, humid summers, biking, running, and other forms of outdoor cardio often have to be put on hold due to dangerous weather conditions.

A punching bag is one of our favorite pieces of home gym equipment because it can help you get a great cardio workout indoors and in a limited space. A punching bag can be hung in an area that is only a few feet wide – much smaller than a treadmill, elliptical, or stationary bike. It is also great for working on your speed, power, and endurance. You will be able to get in a good workout at home with just this one piece of equipment.

#2 Best Piece of Equipment for Your Home Gym: Power Reels

Power Reels are the perfect blend of resistance training and weight lifting. These innovative weights are similar to a traditional set of dumbbells, but they are linked by a resistance band, keeping your muscles working throughout your workout. This increased tension can stimulate muscle growth and improve the effectiveness of your workout. As an added bonus, you will be able to use your Power Reels anywhere in your home and they are compact, making them easy to store when they are not in use.

#3 Best Piece of Equipment for Your Home Gym: A Balance Trainer

If you are already comfortable with bodyweight exercises such as pushups and planks, you can easily up their difficulty by performing these exercises on a balance trainer. The unstable surface of the balance trainer will force your core muscles to stabilize your body, challenging you and helping to strengthen these important muscle groups.

By combining these 3 compact pieces of home gym equipment, you will be able to get a full body workout without breaking the bank. These tools are especially useful if you have limited space in which to set up your home gym. Pair these great pieces of equipment with a weight loss plan from A New Me and you will be well on your way to changing your life.
