What Equipment do You Need for a Great Home Gym?

Let’s be honest, we all have busy lives, and some of us just aren’t making it into the gym. Gyms can also be pricey, and if you’ll only be making it in a couple of times a week, it may not be worth it. So what equipment would you need to effectively exercise at home? Let’s have a look at some of the options:

Resistance bands. Perfect for a wide range of exercises and taking up minimal space, resistance bands make for great exercise equipment and an affordable alternative to expensive equipment and gym memberships.

Pull up bars. It’s often difficult to perform effective back exercises at home, but with a pull up bar and a common doorway the door to a variety of great exercises wings wide open, so to speak.

A yoga mat. Yoga mats are ideal for a lot more than just yoga, they offer a good grip for any exercise that requires your feet to be firmly planted (hint: a lot of them do) and they’re also ideal for stretching.

Nothing it all. At the end of the day, you don’t actually need any special equipment to get a great workout at home. Bodyweight exercises can be found in abundance online, YouTube and other streaming sites can be great motivating and teaching tools, and equipment can always be picked up down the road.
