Tips for choosing the best home gym equipment
Have you ever wanted to work out at home and skip the hustle and bustle of to your local gym? Have you ever wanted to save time and avoid a commute to a gym? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then you might prefer building your very own home gym and Littlewoods can help you with that.
Enjoy working out alone
Home gyms are convenient. You work out in the comfort of your own home, with no-one watching you. If you juggle a lot of responsibilities and like working out alone, you may find a home gym fits your needs.
What kind of workouts do you do?
Start out by asking yourself what sort of workouts will you be doing every day of the week? How often do you workout? Consider the intensity and frequency of your workouts. Next, decide what sort of equipment you need based on your workouts. Do you need equipment for cardio or strength training? Do you need medicine balls or dumbbells? Does your equipment need to be high-tech or do you prefer basic equipment?
High impact cardio
To get started, for cardio workouts or if you just enjoy running, try out the Dynamic T3000C Motorised Treadmill with auto incline. It features 12 versatile programs, 3 modes, and 15 incline levels. Speeds range from 0.8 km/h to 16 km/h to ensure you are always pushed you to your limits. An inbuilt speaker is provided so that you can listen to your favorite tunes while you run. You can read more about it on www.littlewoods.com.
Strength training
For strength training, you can buy the York 20kg dumbbell set. They come in black cast iron and the weights are adjustable. This can add versatility to your strength workouts, and these are great for beginners too.
Low impact cardio
You may also consider getting a Work Star Shaper Magnetic Exercise Bike for low impact cardio workout sessions. It comes with a height-adjustable saddle and the magnetic resistance is quiet and smooth. It’s a perfect gym bike for your home since it doesn’t make any noise during workouts.
Keep it simple
The most important thing to keep in mind is to start simple. Don’t buy tons of equipment; start with the golden three strength, cardio, and low-impact. Once you improve your fitness levels and feel that you need more variety, you can start adding other options. For now, this should get you started on your fitness journey.
