What gym equipment should I buy for home use?
February 2nd, 2010 | by admin |Hey,
I am not to keen on the idea of joining a gym, i’m way too conscience to work out in front of loads of people. So i was wondering what gym equipment would be best for home?
Thanks in advance x
That depends on what type of workout you want and what your goals are. If your looking to shed some weight and tone up I would suggest getting a treadmill or an elliptical machine. You can set one up in front of your t.v. and walk or jog for hours anytime you want. And with elliptical you’ll also get a good upper body workout. Now, if you’re looking to bulk up and add muscle I would recommend an adjustable bench with a barbell and dumbells.

I recommend this …
http://www.amazon.com/Body-Solid-EXM1500S-Single-Stack/dp/B0002EAB8A/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1244126165&sr=1-7&tag=aor-sale-20
Product Description
Body Solid EXM1500S Home Gym When the leading consumer reporting magazines were searching for the number 1 Best Buy in the home gym category, they found it in the EXM1500S. It has all the features you need for a complete toning, trimming and strength training program at home. In just 20 minutes a day, 3 times a week, you can trim down and firm up in your own home, on your own schedule. Forget the gym membership dues, long lines and that locker room smell. Using the EXM1500S will lead you to a healthier lifestyle, save you time and save you money. This gym is centered on a 160 Lb. weight stack, adjustable in 10 Lb. increments, stacked neatly without plates and bars scattered about. Simply insert a pin and begin. While sitting on the firm, oversized adjustable seat pad you can start by grabbing the multi grip press arm and work on your chest and shoulders, then wrap your legs over the comfortable foam rollers to rip through a set of thigh burning leg extensions. Now, take hold of the Ab Strap and crunch your way to a washboard stomach. Spin around and reach for the Lat Bar and work your shoulders and upper back. Using the Straight Bar on the multi purpose Low Pulley you can perform seated rows, biceps curls, wrist curls, upright rows, shrugs and more. Other exercises include triceps press down, standing leg curl, bent over row, inner and outer thigh, one arm cable curl and standing calf raise. The EXM1500S gives you more for your money than any other home gym on the market. Includes Lifetime Warranty on Everything. Forever. Period.
The Body-Solid Home Gym arrived in six boxes in only 10 days. The instructions for assembly were not that great but after taking the time to organize the parts in particular the various sized bolts and associated nuts it went very well. I think the key to assembly is to read over each section carefully and get the exploded view down pat then follow the step by step directions. By the time I was done it took just about five hours and I had a few parts left over. The machine is everything I had hoped for. Its smooth action is a delight and both me and my wife love it already. I missed the workout center but now that I work out of my house the 20 mile round trip into town just didn’t make sense. The money was well spent and I am 100% satisfied.
Hope this help. Good Luck!
