On Your Mark Fitness Tips

Hello Readers

So you want to exercise at home and often wonder “what equipment do you need”, while I often hear this question when people start training at home for whatever reason.

Maybe they recently had a baby and want to be home or they work at home and need to workout to break up the daily routine. People who work from home often find that they need a way to keep active, as it can be quite sedentary at times. Though, the benefits of working from home do outweigh the negatives if you do it right – striking a healthy balance between private and personal life is key to this. Dedicating a room or an area as your workspace and putting in suitable office furniture can really help you to create a zone where you can work productively without distraction. Additionally, having a good internet connection can also help people to focus properly. Working from home can be difficult, especially if an individual’s internet connection is poor. This is why most remote workers will compare broadband deals regularly to make sure they’re getting the most out of their money. With a good internet connection and a well-designed office (read more here for inspiration), people should be able to get their work done effectively. However, it’s important to remember to prioritize your general health and keep moving throughout the day.

Having one piece of Cardio equipment is always good. The rowing machine is nice and light and stores easily.

Rowing machines use both upper body and lower body muscles at the same time, have the ability to be used by all fitness levels and can vary the intensity easily.

A Bosu ball and a few light dumbbells as well as a Swiss ball are 3 more pieces of equipment that allow a wide variety of exercises to be done.

A Bosu ball is used for balance and stabilizing and weights for strength training.

The Swiss ball allows for core training and a wide variety of positions to work out with like rolling the ball up and down a wall or even sitting on to ward off the ill effects of too much computer watching.

Functional training to ward off the ill effects of our sedentary lifestyles is the best way to be on top of sculpting that shoulders back and confident you.

Have a personal trainer come to your home to set up a series of exercises that can easily be interchanged so the workouts are not the same over and over.

A skilled trainers workouts can be easy to do with very few pieces of equipment and is well worth the $75 to have them show you these tricks.
Start with less and add one more piece of equipment every few months to break up the boredom. Maybe a balance board.
With just a few pieces of equipment you can make your home better to be in while running a business at home of sharing your new workouts with a new baby…

Oh that makes me think about our next weeks article and how we can plan workouts with a new baby that wants to participate with you.
