Exercise Equipment: Realize your Fitness Goals at Home without Fancy Equipment
by Ainuddin Mohamad


You know you need to exercise but you do not want to join the local gym. Perhaps the high-pressure sales tactics have turned you off to the whole experience, or maybe you just don’t like the idea of dealing with other people’s sweat on highly coveted equipment. Maybe the fees are too steep and perhaps you also don’t relish the idea of driving to and from the gym every day. Whatever the case may be, you want to exercise but not at the gym.

For all those who fall into this category, the good news is that you do not need a fancy gym to get and stay in shape. Yet how can you achieve your fitness goals at home? Do you need to invest in a variety of expensive machines that take up a lot of space? You can do so, of course, if you have the money and the space. As a matter of fact, some little gadgets are quite helpful, but you can still realize your fitness goals at home without all of the fancy equipment manufacturers would like to lead you to believe is a “must-have”.

Here are some tips and tricks that will keep most of your hard-earned cash in your wallet, while giving you some great exercise ideas.

At the gym they have fancy stair climbers. You do not need to spend the money on them. Instead, if you home has stairs, commit twenty minutes to climbing these stairs, up and down, until you are sweating and your heart rate is elevated. Your speed will gradually increase; so do not feel that you need to start out your first exercise day with a marathon up and down these stairs. The trick to any kind of fitness regimen, at home or at the gym is to take it slow, warm up well, and then do just enough to get you sweating and your heart rate up. As your body’s fitness and resistance grow, you will need to work harder and perhaps longer to achieve these two objectives, and this is a sure sign that you are getting fit!

At the gym you can walk or run on an expensive treadmill. At home, you can walk or run up and down the street, around the block, or down to the local park. Why not enjoy the sunshine in summer; the crisp air in fall, the light dusting of snow in the winter, and the friendly faces of neighbors year round while you exercise? If you have a dog, why not take the little pooch with you? Your dogs will thank you for the exercise, and will quite possibly keep you motivated to continue on with your exercise.

At the gym there are fancy weight lifting machines that seem to be relentlessly hogged by the jocks, and when they leave, the machines are left all sweaty and sticky. At home, you do not need a fancy machine to lift some weights. Do you have a cat? Lift the cat litterbag! Do you have a dog? Lift the dog food bag! If you are willing to spend a few dollars on exercise equipment, go ahead and purchase a couple of sets of dumbbells. These versatile little fitness helpers are incredibly valuable to your home fitness regimen and cost only a very small amount of money. You can do traditional weight lifting exercises with them, or you can use them as you climb your stairs, or walk up and down the street.

Get to know your park. You will be surprised to note that many public parks have running track stations set up with bars, and other possible exercises that fitness buffs can engage in for free. Posted placards will explain the exercise that the station is designed for, and if you follow the track a few times a week, your will be rewarded with a rather challenging and fun workout.

As you can see, the possibilities or realizing your fitness goals from home are nearly endless, and all those who do not want to or simply cannot afford to join a gym will be able to enjoy just as much of a workout. Furthermore, the purchase of expensive machines is not required, and with a little ingenuity and some imagination, you will be able to exercise like the pros without having your bedroom overrun with machines that eventually will turn into nothing but bulky clothes hangers.
