Everyone is willing to pay for a gym membership or buy exercise equipment at home. Is it worth it? We will try to figure it out.
The dilemma: buying a season ticket to the nearest gym right after the holidays or before swimwear season, or making your own gym at home without critical views and comments, has long been a waste of humanity. At least ever since man developed and started offering all these fancy workouts for removing fat folds and increasing muscle mass. The idea is good, the implementation often fails.
The simulator will not train for you
Yoga, Pilates, aerobics, running, stretching - all this can and often leads to building up healthy habits and the realization that exercise is not only health promotion, but also quite pleasant entertainment.
Thirty-five years ago, when physical education was still a full-fledged subject, and the teachers held circles and forced students to study on the Swedish wall, this was quite enough. But then people began to spend most of their time at the table and at the wheel, and it became simply necessary to play sports.
This is why the idea of buying home exercise equipment was born. Recent trends speak not only of their compactness and miniaturization, but also of their versatility, ease of use and maintenance, which contributes to guaranteed success. When choosing a simulator, it is also necessary to adhere to the reasonable principle - for everyone in accordance with their needs and health status, in accordance with spatial and financial capabilities.
Three good tips:
1. A separate room, large enough (at least 12 m2, with a ceiling height of 240 to 280 cm), heated and at the same time well ventilated with natural daylight, ideal for a home gym. With a durable and easy-care washable floor covering. It is not recommended to exercise in a cold garage, in a damp basement, or in an overheated and dusty room. Also pay attention to the width of the front door, some exercise machines cannot be completely disassembled. The ceiling and walls must be made of durable material so that ladders, punching bags and other sports equipment can be attached to them.
2. Buy all equipment wisely. This is definitely not a cheap deal. Of course, there is no point in buying expensive exercise equipment, which will then remain as toys.
3. Go in for sports and do your best, but also take care of your health. This means - before you exercise properly, consult your doctor about your condition and take a stress test in the gym under the supervision of a trainer. All sports activities should be aimed at specific results. They need to be monitored, measured and evaluated, adjusted in accordance with the current state. For this, various additional devices, ergometers and many others are produced and sold that can monitor and dose physical activity.
