Weight training is one of the best forms of exercise a person can do throughout their lives. This sort of workout not only bulks up muscle and tones it, leading to a very sexy and powerful physique, but it also increases metabolism, lowers oxygen consumption, and strengthens the heart. Without a doubt, this is one of the best types of exercise to improve one's overall health aside from just the look of their muscles, not that there's anything wrong with that. These products were once only available in large gyms, but now manufacturers have introduced models just for the home that are inexpensive and sized perfectly for the active home trainer. Here are five of the most important pieces to help set up your own home gym.
Bench. The bench is the base of any weight training gym. This simple tool cannot be substituted. Its padded surface and adjustable back allows you to perform a huge number of exercises safely and in the physical correct form. Extensions to these products also allow for doing the classic bench press and other exercises. These products should have rubber bottoms to help ensure that the bench never slips as well.
Bars. These products are used to hold weights, perform stretches, and train motion. Used in conjunction with a bench or standing, a huge number of training regimes can be done using this simple tool
Plates. And to go with that bar are plates. These are the added weight that comes in nearly limitless increments to hit your target zone accurately. These products can be used as part of a machine or just with bars as well. These should be accompanied with clamps to hold them in place as well as a rack to keep them organized.
Dumbbells. These products are smaller weights with their own built in handles that come in nearly every weight increment. They are used to both build and tone muscles for a huge variety of exercises. These products are great for targeting smaller muscles and are the bulk of any serious trainees' gym.
Mats. It may seem like a small and unnecessary piece of equipment, but weight training mats are vital to keeping you comfortable while working out and protecting the floor on which you work from any possible falling weights. These products are also helpful to keep damage from heavy foot traffic to a minimum as well.
With these simple tools and good guidance, you'll see results in no time.
