Your Home Gym

Setting up a home gym can be an excellent way to tackle your fitness goals. It can also be relatively inexpensive if you stick to the basics. Check out the post I did for Harlequin (Your Best Body Now). I mention the basics for an effective home gym:

- a bench
- dumb bells (of varying sizes)
- medicine balls (of different weights)
- resistance bands
- a yoga mat
- a music player

Don't forget comfy clothes, shoes, and your water bottle.

I've even seen people bringing their iPads into the gym with their favorite fitness videos and workouts of the day. This is a great idea, too.

What makes your home gym a success?

    I've hit a few yard sales and picked up tons of used fitness equipment for really cheap. Like 400lbs. of free weights and weight machine for 40 bucks!

    i have a home gym and love it! there are part of the gym i miss though, but slowly i'm expanding my own because its a lifelong "investment" for me.
    i have a bench, treadmill, pull up bar, dip station, sandbags, lots of dumbbells, 8lb ugi ball and regular medicine ball, bands, plates ranging from 5-25lbs with a barbell, and jump rope. gets the job done! would lovee a cable machine though :)

    I have a spare room in my basement painted bright yellow (for energy)that is my home gym. It consists of an elliptical, treadmill, Inspire M2, bench, dumbells (5-25lbs), medicine ball, kettle bell, stability ball, bosu ball, stereo, mirrors, all my Oxygen mags and tons of pics of you and fitness models from Oxygen. What makes it work for me is it's "my" space. I go down, close the door, turn on the tunes and shape my body. I love my home gym!!
