Exercising from the comfort of your own home is a great way to save money and allows you to progress at your own pace. Here are some tips to help you set up a home gym as you start or continue your fitness journey.

Include Both Machines and Free Weights

Having both cardio and weights can add variety to your workouts. Consider a rack with dumbbell weights or an adjustable dumbbell if you have limited space. Weight benches are also essential for many exercises. Having an Olympic barbell and rack allows you to do squats, deadlifts, and bench presses from the comfort of your home. For cardio, consider an exercise bike, treadmill, or elliptical to improve your aerobic fitness levels.

Create a Pilates and Yoga Studio

If your favourite way to get fit is yoga or pilates, consider creating a yoga retreat. Fill your space with pilates kits, yoga mats, and yoga blocks and flood the room with ambient lighting to set up the perfect escape for relaxation and calm.

Rest and Recovery

Post-exercise recovery is crucial so your body can repair and prepare for your next workout. Make the process easier with massage guns, heating pads, and foam rollers in your stretching area.
