Workout at Home

A guide by W. Johnson (Fuquay-Varina, NC)

Products sampled from this guide:
There are a number of books which I've used to help build a home gym for my family. I like Strength Training Anatomy Workout, The because it gives good program advice and shows you exactly what muscles each exercise is working. It has incredible anatomical illustrations and excellent full-color photography - great for visual learners. Men's Health Home Workout Bible: is also recommended. Women's Home Workout Bible was also very helpful in determining our space and cost considerations when building a home workout space.

I like the freedom we're given by Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells (Pair). Kettlebells also help to bring functional training into our routines and I'd recommend getting started with Kettlebell Training for Athletes: Develop Explosive Power and Strength for Martial Arts, Football, Basketball, and Other Sports, pb and Power Systems Kor Kettleball. STRENGTH BALL TRAINING BOOK/DVD Second Edition Paperback for Exercise Balls and Strength Band Training - 2nd Edition are additional resources which we use a lot with Power Systems VersaBall Stability Ball and Lifeline USA Portable Gym. For a little variability, I like to jump rope and Buddy Lee has a great book for those looking to get the most out of rope training, Jump Rope Training - 2nd Edition and NEW Buddy Lee Olympic Aero Speed Jump Skipping Rope.

Finally, the stretching advice I've pulled from Stretch to Win has changed my body for the better. My life would seriously not be as complete without my Fabrication Enterprises Cando Foam Roller - Blue EVA Foam - Extra Firm - 6 x 36 inch - Round, Prostretch Single, and Footsie Roller - 1 pc,(Body Tools). I love my foam roller so much, I even have one for upstairs and one for downstairs. Ahhh.

Hopefully this list gives you a head start on building your own home workout space! Stay motivated!!
