How To Build A Home Gym

Thanks to my wife, I got to workout at the gym today.

She came home from work for lunch and watched Matea while I was at the gym. She even cooked me a tasty postworkout meal of an omelette and potatoes, shes awesome! ( I just booked an Aqua massage for her for Valentines Day)

The rest of the day I am playing Mr.Mom and staying home with Matea.

I had an awesome Dad Fitness workout, one of the best in a long time!

Here is the rundown:

Flat BB Bench Press,1 max set of 3-5 reps

Flat DB Bench Press, 4 sets of 6-8 reps

Bent Over DB Row, 4 sets of 10-12 reps

Rope Face Pulls, 3 sets of 15 reps

BB Russian Twist, 3 sets of 8 reps

How To Build A Home Gym
by Sean Barker,CPT

You don't need to buy an expensive gym membership so you can use all those complicated machines to get in shape. People were building muscle and burning fat long before any of those strange looking machines were invented.

Also a treadmill or stationary bike would be a bonus for cardio exercise but not necessary as you can still do cardio exercise with your body weight, some light dumbbells or outdoors.

As long as you have enough space to fully extend your body vertically and horizontally you can setup a small home gym. You can get a set of adjustable dumbbells up to 40lbs which would be enough for most people at your local Walmart or sporting goods store for around $40. Stability balls are also inexpensive at around $20 as well as a mat for $10. An adjustable exercise bench will run over hundred bucks but most sporting goods store have previous used ones for half price. So for convenient exercise on a budget you can setup your own home gym for under $100 bucks and if your are really determined but tight for cash, you can get a great workout with just your body weight.

Here is a great body weight workout that can be done anywhere at anytime. Plus it won't cost you a penny! Do tens reps each with no rest, then repeat the circuit 3 times.

Bodyweight Squats

Pushups

Forward Lunges

Abdominal Planks (hold for 30-60 sec).
