Working Out At Home

Fitness doesn’t have to go on hold when you can’t get outside or can’t get to the gym! Get a great work out at home with just 12 gym essentials!

Any small corner will do, to set up this simplified workout area. It includes both cardio and weights so you can focus on burning calories and strengthening muscle.

How To Create An Inexpensive, Small Space Home Gym

• Determine which room you want to set up your home gym in.
• Add the 12 gym essentials listed below to your home gym area, including a large mirror to watch your form! Don’t forget an exercise mat!
• Have your music ready to go! I love to listen to Amazon music when I work out. 
• Keep a water bottle filled with cold water to keep hydrated.
• Schedule your workout routine. Determine what time in the day you’ll begin your workout and how long you’ll workout for. I like to start my workout in the afternoon and I work out for 45 minutes. See my favorite exercise apps below!
• Keep resistance bands, workout gloves and kettlebell in a pretty storage basket. This will keep your small space gym area tidy and decluttered!
