Fit Tip of the Week - Home Gym

 I wanted to talk with you today about creating a home gym for yourself. With the rising costs of gym memberships these days, it's no wonder why products like P90X, Insanity, Turbo Jam, and Turbo Fire, are the top rated in-home fitness programs. For the cost of 1 months membership at a specialty gym, you can get a PROVEN fitness program that you can do in the privacy of your own home, that will last you quite a while!

So, today I wanted to go over with you some tips I've come up with for my own home gym that you might be able to incorporate into your home gym.

The first thing that I love are Resistance Bands! They're portable, they're durable and they're versatile. They don't take up a lot of space and there's no maintance needed! The color-coded bands come in a wide range of resistance levels, so you're sure to find one for your level, and come with these soft foam support handles that are great for different range of motions, and they don't let your hands slip off. Resistance Bands may be included with your Beachbody program, depending on the program that you're doing.

Another must have in my home gym is a Stability Ball. Talk about a versatile piece of exercise equipment! With the ball you'll be able to do a number of different stability exercises, which will help you strengthen your core, and as well as use the ball to target your abs, your back, your chest, arms, thighs, legs and booty! The ball can be used with or without weights, and it won't burst of punctured.

If you're doing a program, like P90X, a Chin Up bar is a MUST! My husband and I personally choose a chin up bar that we could attach to the wall for added security, but there are great chin up bars available that work with your door frame that work just as well.

And finally, how can you work out to any of our Beachbody programs without a TV and DVD player? None of the Beachbody programs require a ton of space for you to work out - the space between your TV and couch will work perfectly fine! Personally, we put the TV & DVD player in the garage so that all of our home gym equipment could be centralized, and we didn't have to worry about the kids, or animals, getting into any of the equipment.

All of these suggestions, minus the TV & DVD player, are available from Beachbody! Simply head to my website http://www.coachkari.com/, click SHOP and you're one step closer to creating your very own home gym! Stay tuned for more weekly Fit Tips, and feel free to share this information!
