<a href=http://www.airmax-chaussures.net>air max chaussures</a>You
can put together a cheap home gym that gets the job done if you
buy the essentials. As long as you stick with the proven equipment
list -and stay away from the latest ab-flexor- you can't go wrong.
The following are my 8 home gym must-haves:
1) Dumbbells
Dumbbells are essential for the home fitness gym, necessary for
presses, arm exercises and even a few core exercises. There are
many kinds of dumbbells out there, from the cheap to the boutique.
All of which fall into one of two typ<a href=http://www.airmax-
chaussures.net>air max chaussures</a>es: fixed weight or handles
only.
Handles are plate loaded. This requires you to slide the weight
plate on yourself and then fasten the weight with collars. Most
handles are either standard or Olympic. Standard are smaller in
diameter than the Olympic version. You'll want to coordinate any
plate loaded barbells you purchase with your dumbbells. That way
the plates are compatible. Standard handles start at around $8.
Olympic handles are pricier and longer. This added length actually
takes getting used to on a few exercises.
2) Barbells
You need a good barbell, and, like dumbbells, they come in
standard and Olympic. Again, definitely be sure that they're
compatible with your dumbbells. Although, an Olympic bar won't fit
on a standard bench, a 7-foot standard bar will work on an Olympic
bench.
A standard barbell set includes a 20 pound bar, 2 dumbbell handles
(with collars) and 85 pounds of plates. A unit like this will run
about $100. This isn't a lot of weight, so<a

you'll probably want to buy more before too long.
3) Bench
In a truly cheap home gym, you can use any old bench for presses
and one-arm rows. Make sure that it's 2 to 3 feet wide and solid.
A piano bench could work if it's heavy enough. Otherwise, a picnic
bench also works well. Get creative: you can put something under
the front or rear to have an incline or a decline bench.
4) Chin Up Bar
A chin up bar can be constructed out of any material that will
support your weight. You can find a chin up bar for $10 to $40.
5) Swiss Ball
Although I think that these are somewhat overused, they can add a
little variety to your home fitness gym workouts. In addition to
making you look more sophisticated by simply having it around the
house, they also increase balance and tend to strengthen the core
muscles. You can find one for $20.
6) Jump Rope
Jump rope for cardio: $5. Simple.<a href=http://www.airmax-

7) Stairs
If you have a few stairs in your house, you can add a couple
outstanding exercises. These include the lunge and the step-up.
Since they elevate heart rate, both are good if you're performing
circuit training. And, if you live in an apartment building with
several flights of stairs, your cheap home gym includes a free
stairclimber.
8) Yard
If you have a backyard, you can always do basketball style
conditioning drills, such as sprints and short intervals. Make
sure to build up your joints and tendons first with slower, more
deliberate strength training to avoid injury. And if you have
solid walls, you could bounce a medicine ball. This move is good
for ab development and keeping a high heart rate.

Now that you've built it, don't forget to use it.
