Home gym… Where to start?

Setting up a home gym to train is already a trend and although you may think that in order to do it and have a good workout it is necessary to have a lot of space and make a large outlay of money, in masenform we are going to give you some key tips so you can have your home gym without the need for it.

Having the right materials will make our work much easier when it comes to doing quality training and allows us to save space and money.

What materials should my "Gym at home" have?

TRX

It is one of our favorite materials because it allows us to develop a great variety of exercises in a small space and working with our own weight.

Training in TRX is ideal for those who do not have much time for their workouts, since it allows you to perform cardiovascular, strength or core exercises. It is an easy material to transport and to assemble which makes it perfect to take it on your trips or vacations.

Elastic bands and mini band:

They are very economical and versatile because it allows you to perform a large number of exercises or even intensify exercises that we are already doing. We recommend you get a pack of different tensions and lengths.

Pair of dumbbells

It is the most classic material and in your gym you cannot miss it. Perfect to maintain or develop muscle mass in a focused way or to use them as ballast, essential to be able to progress properly.

Kettlebell

Working with a kettlebell requires some control but offers great training possibilities. Ideal for strength training or metabolic training routines.

Material to train the core

If you are one of those who like to work the "six-pack" there are several elements that you can have in your gym at home to maximize your abdominal and gluteal exercises.

Abdominal wheels, a fitball, a mat or mat are essential elements.

With these materials that we have mentioned, you can create that training space at home that helps you stay fit, active and progress with your exercises or workouts.

But there are two more things that we recommend so that you do not "sell the bike" when looking for those changes in your physique:

- Sweating girdles or garments: Although science in sports has advanced a lot in recent years, there are still people who still think that sweating more is synonymous with losing weight or losing fat, which is a mistake because sweat makes it that you lose are fluids that are recovered once you finish the exercise; In addition to the fact that these types of materials can be harmful to your skin and your health.

- Electro-stimulation and slimming products: Let me tell you that to obtain the results you want there is no easy way or a shortcut, the results are obtained with constancy and not using “miracle products”. These types of materials are usually very expensive and will not give you the results you are looking for, for less money with the materials that we have proposed you will get more benefits and the results will come out.

I hope these tips help you make a smart purchase when setting up your home gym!
