Men are leading a very busy lifestyle where it is very difficult to find time to join a gym. Moreover, even if you somehow take time out to go to the gym you will be distracted by people who are there more to socialize than do anything serious.

All is not lost and and there is a solution which will save you lot of money and time too: set up a gym at home. You might find the idea of setting up a gym home tough but it’s not at all complicated.

Just chalk out an training program which will cover all parts of your body and the equipment needed. Your program should include conditioning (or aerobic training), resistance training, core training and flexibility work.

Cardiovascular training is very important part of a health regimen. But we will not list the equipment needed to accomplish it because you can go out and choose from jogging, skiing, cycling and climbing because all these options are much better than walking or jogging on a treadmill.

Below we have given you options which will help you build a  home gym which will give you guaranteed results.

Home Gym Equipment

Perfect Pushup

Push-ups is one of the most underrated exercises. It is great to tone up the muscles in the chest, shoulders and triceps. It also reinforces the core stability of your body. Perfect Pushup scores over the traditional way of doing push-ups in two ways. It is safer and provides you with variety.

Push-ups are not a dangerous exercise but some guys have limited movement in their wrists and performing push-ups hurt their wrists. Using Perfect Pushups helps in getting rid of this problem by allowing the user to maintain a neutral position.

It also allows you to put stress on different points of the body without you having to change the exercise. This aids in regular results and development.

With the help of Perfect Pushup you can do exercises with a neutral grip, and hence your elbow has greater range of motion which results in the triceps getting a nice workout, a 45° grip, an overhand grip plus a rotating grip. Alter between these grips and you will not feel stale and results will keep on coming.

Iron Gym

You must have Iron Gym as part of a home gym. It can be set up in five minutes and you can perform many exercise on it for a complete upper body workout.

It is a very versatile piece of equipment on which such a variety of routines can be performed. You can use it to do push ups but what it is most effective in is helping you do pulling exercises. Using it you can perform narrow and wide grip chinups, pullups, and alternate grip chinups and neutral grip chinups.

That is seven types of different pulling exercises you can do  with it. You can also do hanging abdominal exercise with it. The added bonus is that you can use the upper body and arm muscles to support your weight instead of resting your elbows in slings.

Heart Rate Monitor

Heart rate monitor is very essential to keep a track on the cardio-respiratory stresses being put on your body when you exercise. Monitoring the heart rate has far reaching implications on fitness training and fat loss training program. In recent times resistance training is being used more and more to reduce fats from the body.

The idea is to build muscles and keep the training intense enough that body burns calories rapidly and there is deficit of oxygen which keeps the metabolism high for hours after you have finished exercising. So, when you wear the heart monitor you can ensure that training is keeping your heart rate at the desired level so as to keep the optimum stress on the body.

PowerBlock Dumbbells

The final piece to add to the equipment are the PowerBlock Dumbbells which are very effective in the form of external resistance training. The good thing about dumbbells are that you can add and remove weights. The stronger you get the more weights you can add. From 2.5 lbs you can go up to 90lbs per hand using the PowerBlock dumbbells.

This way you can change the entire set of dumbbells you have in various weight categories with just a single set of Power Dumbbells. Dumbbells are very flexible piece of equipment and they can be used for both the upper body and also the lower body for a complete body workout.
