Since your gym has probably now closed, you may be in the market for some workout equipment as you build a gym of your own at home. You’ll need a few key pieces of equipment to stay fit during your self-quarantine—here are some must-have items for your home gym.
The key to building your gym is versatility, which is why you need to have kettlebells in your home gym. You can get a full-body workout with a kettlebell, which can help you build strength and improve your mobility.
The next must-have item for your home gym is a medicine ball. If you’re looking to strengthen your core, then you need to incorporate medicine ball workouts into your routine.
A staple of a gym equipment you need to have when you’re self-quarantined at home are dumbbells. Dumbbells are great because you can use them to strengthen your upper and lower body. Get several different weights and a bench as well so that you can do all different kinds of workouts at home.
Calisthenics and yoga are two of the best workouts you can do at home with almost no equipment. All you need is a guide and a yoga mat. The great thing about yoga mats is that you can place them anywhere in your home and break a sweat.
Another great addition to your home gym is a resistance band. Resistance training is a great way to tone your muscles, maintain your weight, and reduce the risk of injury. There’s a variety of resistance bands for you to consider, including ankle trainers, heavy-duty power bands, and band rolls.
When you’re stuck inside, you still need to think about your recovery. A foam roller is one way to relieve pain in your legs and back before or after a workout. Take advantage of the various rollers available at Utah Home Fitness to avoid going through any pain.
If you’re looking to expand your home gym even further, Utah Home Fitness also offers larger pieces of equipment such as treadmills, AMT ellipticals, climbers, and exercise bikes. We offer online purchasing so that you can start building your home gym while complying with social distancing guidelines.
