18 Smart Ways to Pump up Your Home Gym: Part I
September is National Yoga Month, and if you're unable to take advantage of the free classes yoga studios are offering, don't fret. With a little elbow grease you can transform a corner of your home into a dedicated yoga zone. I learned a few things while recently converting part of my guest bedroom into a yoga space. It would normally take me a while to tackle a home project like that, but Read more
Don't let the rainy weather wash away your workout. If nasty rain and wind is forcing you to get your sweat on indoors, here are some ways to burn 300 calories at home. Get your stretch on: unroll your mat and practice yoga. An hour and 20 minutes of light yoga burns 315 calories. Pop in your favorite cardio DVD such as Bob Harper's Ultimate Cardio Body or Tracy Anderson's Cardio Dance Read more
I like things easy. And easy means a convenient way to stay fit but doesn't take too much time out of my day. Easy solution? A home gym. What's not to love — all the equipment you need to stay fit, no gym membership required. It's hard, however, to keep a home gym as equipment-ready as your neighborhood gym if you don't have the space (or the money). Luckily, just a few basics are all you Read more
It's one thing to have your own home gym (or spare room to house your gym equipment), but sometimes the only place to put your treadmill or exercise bike is smack in the middle of your living room. That can create an unsightly eye sore. That wouldn't be the case if you sprung for an exercise bike that looks more like modern art than gym equipment. Roberto Cavalli, the high-end, luxury celebrity Read more
FitSugar reader Tmvargas wrote this love letter to her home gym for the third challenge of our Get Fit For 2011 giveaway. It may not be glamorous. It may be blazing hot in the summer and freezing cold in the winter. I may have to keep a tennis racket near me at all times because I'm convinced that a rat is going to get me while I'm trapped on the treadmill. (I swear I saw one.) But it's Read more
Here's a post from the OnSugar blog The Adventure Chronicles: While searching for an apartment, space for a home gym was on the top of our checklist. We found an apartment that we fell in love with, but it didn't have that ideal space for a gym. Instead, we utilized the detached dining room as a gym, office, library, and second living room. It's not only a great place to work out, but it's Read more
Giving the gift of fitness is definitely a gift that keeps on giving. If someone on your holiday gift list works out at home, here are some pieces of equipment to help them burn it up in the comfort of their own home. Read more
Since all of her kids have up and gone, my mom is converting one of her unused bedrooms into a home gym. Since she works out almost every day, it's a smart move. She'll save on gas, membership fees, and won't have to deal with any more treadmill hogs. The downside is that she won't be getting out as much. For her, hitting the gym is as much about socializing as it is about working out. Over the Read more
Whenever I finished strength training at home, I used to stash my dumbbells in the closet. But I realized that if they were visible, I'd be more likely to pick them up and use them later. Same goes with my yoga mat. Instead of keeping it under my bed, I keep it out on a shelf. Seeing it there when I wake up reminds me to start every morning with a set of stretches. A friend of mine keeps a Read more
Now that colder weather is moving in, exercising outdoors may not be that appealing. Working out at the gym is great, but all those people sharing equipment means germ central. Plus, wouldn't it be nice to have your own home gym you could use whenever you wanted, and not have to drive to? If there was no limit on the amount of money you could spend, what equipment would you buy to make your Read more
