Get Healthy at Home

By Alexandra Tarallo

New home equals new life? Ideally it does.
Moving gets you rid of excess furniture and clutter that you may not even know you had. You may even decide to redecorate and incorporate a home gym.

Building an affordable home gym is easier than you may think. Why should shaping up at home be limited to celebrities? You too can enjoy a workout in the comforts of your own home.

A few essentials will get you started. Once you’ve designated an area for your new gym, start with a high quality adjustable bench which will convert from flat, to incline, and decline positions. An adjustable bench is extremely versatile and can be used in almost every exercise routine.

Next, select a few dumbbells. Experts consider dumbbells to be one of the best choices when it comes to strength training equipment. As you become stronger, you can always incorporate heavier weights.

The last of your home gym essentials should be a burst-resistant stability ball. They are very popular for core training and abdominal work because they provide great support to the spine and isolate the stomach muscles.

Lastly, a great option for cardio workout is a jump rope. Just 5 minutes will make you break into a sweat and get the job done. A cardio machine is another option; however it takes up more space, and will set you back a few more dollars.
