No matter how big or small your home gym is there are a few essential pieces of equipment that everyone must have. This blog will list the 10 pieces of equipment every home gym should have.
- Dumbbells: Number one on this list for a good reason, dumbbells are excellent for home gyms because they don’t take up a lot of space, can be used for a number of different exercises and deliver incredibly effective workouts.
- Medicine Balls: Medicine balls are great because they also don’t take up much space and can deliver both work on cardio and strength at the same time.
- Resistance Bands: Resistance bands are great because they work out both your strength and mobility with no impact to the joints.
- Kettlebells: Kettlebells are one of if not the most versatile pieces of equipment you can have, can get strength, cardio and mobility workouts all while taking up very little space in your home gym.
- Power Suspension Trainer: Specifically designed to target your core and improves flexibility with no impact to the joints, all you need is your bodyweight to get in a thorough and challenging workout.
- Yoga Mat: Besides the obvious use of yoga lessons, the mat is great for stretching before or after a workout, and can be used during core workouts to avoid laying directly on the hard surface.
- Core Slider Discs: Can be used on both carpet and hardwood making them great for all home gyms. These discs can be used by anybody regardless of fitness level and deliver a great core workout.
- Foam Roller: One of the most essential pieces of equipment on here, the foam roller is crucial for every home gym. After a workout the foam roller is crucial for preventing lactic acid buildup which prevents soreness the next day meaning you don’t have to skip any workouts.
- Pull-Up Bar: Put it on the top of a door frame and you have an incredible upper body workout available anytime you want.
- Weight Bench: Last but certainly not least, a weight bench is the perfect addition to any home gym because it can be used with a variety of other equipment like the dumbbells, kettlebells and medicine balls.
