Any exercise buff and a
health-conscious person would prefer a home gym
dedicated to the purpose. The latest features that you
include in this personal gym has upgraded from an
occasional treadmill or the stationary cycle next to
your bed to the latest features propounded by the
fitness gurus such as elliptical trainers and weight
lifting systems and an airy and ventilated yet
peaceful place where you can meditate, exercise or do
aerobic dance or yoga at leisure along with rhythmic
audio numbers. The place is made quiet inviting to
motivate you to visit it more frequently. Here are
some tips for designing a state-of-art home gym that
you will love:
Any spare room in your house or a part of the
big room can be turned into a home gym and your choices can
include basement too.
You may have to plan your room according to
your fitness goals and activities you like. Building muscles
need more weights, while aerobic will need more space and a
good audio system. For yoga, you will like a peaceful room
with no clutter and preferably a surround sound system for the
chants.
Choose only quality equipments with good
workout and how-to-use instructions and buy only the ones that
you can work on. Too complicated systems may need the help of
a professional instructor and you better try them out in the
gym in your community.
Make the room look interesting with happy
colors, artwork and wall murals and the photos of the model
with the ideal body you are hoping to get.
You can put a wall-size mirror to expand a
small room or any scenic poster that can help you to visualize
nature while working on the treadmill or stationary cycle.
Catchy or relaxing music soundtracks can help
to motivate you while doing exercise or yoga and meditate.
If you really work out for half an hour or
more until you start sweating regularly, you may want to buy a
mini refrigerator for your home gym where you can put water,
lemons and fruit juices to replenish your body with liquids.
