Ever Wonder What Home Gym Exercise Equipment You Actually Need?

A home gym does not require an expensive bowflex system, or any other metal contraption that takes up a lot of space.

I am not rich and can not afford to have expensive total body gyms. I also do not have the space in my small apartment to accomodate large equipment.

If you have taken time to browse through this site, you will see that many of the exercises I recommend do not require heavy duty equipment. If you want to have an efficient gym at home that does not take up a lot of space I recommend the following:

• Resistance Bands
  
• Dumbbells
  
• Push-Up Bars
  
• Pull-Up Bars
  
• Jump Rope
  
• Workout Mat

Wow, that looks like a pretty short list. And it should not cost you much more than $200-$300.

On a really tight budget? If you do not want to spend the money on push-up bars, use a pair of dumbbells. They work just as good. If you are not working out on hardwoods floors, get rid of the workout mat. You could even grab a couple of bath towels and lie them on the floor instead.

If you are not on a budget, I really recommomend the Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells for your home gym. If you do not wwant to have a bunch of dumbells lyng around, these will definately save you a lot of space.

You deserve to have a great looking body. But you should not have to spend a lot of money to get one.
