How to Get an Effective Workout at Home
Many make the excuse of lack of time regarding staying in shape and achieving fitness goals. So what if you had a gym at home? Could you motivate yourself to utilize it or would it become a good clothing rack.  The motivation to stay in shape is not part of the gym package regardless of where you train but if you need a good home gym here are a few options you can choose from depending on your budget from generous to the budget minded.
 
Shoestring Budget Fitness
If you cannot afforded the latest and greatest you can improvise with a set of dumbbells and a basic adjustable bench for the strength training  and either walk outside or invest in a used commercial treadmill , elliptical trainer , recumbent bike, or upright bike for cardio, the one benefit I have found to indoor cardio equipment is when the weather is uncooperative , I can grab my iPod or laptop and keep my brain entertained long enough to get through a half hour or so. Also worth considering is a yoga mat and a BOSU or Versa ball for safe and effective stretching and abdominal training. The dumbbells are sufficient for arm, shoulders, back, chest and even leg for lunges, squat and even functional training. You can search for deals online for these things, search garage sales or even advertising boards like craigslist. One piece of advice is not to skimp on the cardio if you decide to buy something be sure its quality and not some piece of junk from a department store.
 
Highline Home Gym
This can be fun if you have the space and the funds. Maybe you have a finished garage or a loft room you’re not really using. The first step is to determine what the space is and have a professional provide a layout (usually no charge) then determine what your needs are, would you prefer a universal gym that has all the components for legs chest back using selectorized design like a Body-Sold , Paramount Fitness or Quantum . They provide options for every size room. Another option is one that is more free weight specific. After that you may need some weight trees to hold weight plates and a dumbbell rack for a range of dumbbells, again available in all shapes and sizes. You can make it pop with some design elements like fitness poster that are framed for motivation and a TV and sound system that creates a real motivating environment.
