from: Home Gyms-On the level
Now you have decided that your gym training will be at home.. But where would you start?
A home gym set-up can happen with modest outlay and space requirements, and added to gradually depending on the levels of fitness and financial capacity that can be catered for.
Home gyms usually have a few pieces of strength equipment--a power rack, dumbbells, an adjustable bench, and a pulley system--that would allow a wide range of multi joint exercises (the best muscle-builders in any workout).
Most people start small and then clear a spare room, attic, or garage to set up larger home gyms with more variety.
Your decision on how to get started should be based on two things. The level of fitness that you have and the space available at you home. The more healthy you are, the more challenging you home gym equipment can be. Experts will need a full-on gym capable of many exercise types.
Let’s start at the low fitness level. When you are still at the low fitness level, you will need compact equipment because since only have a corner of the lounge room. Needless to say, this will be at the lower end of the cost scale as well, as low as $500 can start you off.
Having this will give you a training which includes aerobic fitness equipment, and resistance training. Starting out with a stationary bike or treadmill takes care of aerobics. For simple resistance work dumbbells are a great option.
With additional space, a home gym that combines a few different exercises is the next step. These are
freestanding units, usually with seated and standing work catered for. Price ranges for these goes from $800-$5000 depending on size and quality.
