People in Temple, PA, and across the world have created their New Year's resolutions and are trying to set them in motion. If your resolution is to get fit, you don't have to spend money on gym memberships. You can create your own gym at home and not have to worry about working out in front of strangers.
How to Set Up a Home Gym
Convert a spare room into a workout space.
Before you set up a gym at home, you first have to pick out a space. It can be a spare bedroom, a corner in a garage, or even a backyard shed that you've been using for clutter. Once you've picked out a spot, clear out anything that could get in the way of your workout. If you don't have extra space for the clutter, consider storing it in a storage unit at Safeguard Self Storage.
Fill the room with fitness equipment.
With a space cleared, it's time to fill the room with fitness equipment and other workout gear. You don't have to spend a fortune on equipment. Search online for deals on weights, treadmills, and other fitness machines. You can find great deals on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and local yard sale pages.
Pick an easy workout routine.
You'll have a hard time achieving your fitness goals if you don't set realistic expectations. Pick out an easy beginner routine to get you started. If you're into weightlifting, the StrongLifts 5x5 workout program will start you out small and gradually increase in difficulty as you progress. If you're more into cardio than strength training, you can't beat a simple jump rope routine with a combination of exercises like burpees, mountain climbers, and jogging on a treadmill.
