Home Gym Success Guide

Home workouts are not necessarily less effective than exercises performed in the gym, as long as certain basic principles are followed. A home gym is unlikely to have the same professional equipment as a commercial gym, so some adjustments will be needed. Here's how to get the best results when working out at home.

Cardio
Being at home can never be the same. Gym workouts often start with jogging or exercising on a treadmill or elliptical trainer. If your home gym is especially well-equipped, you may want to start the same way. Most won't be so lucky and will need a different type of exercise to warm up. You can just go for a run outside or use something like a small trampoline to get your blood circulating.

Chest
Again, if you have a weight bench, it will be ideal for this phase of your home gym. Use a bench press, with dumbbells or barbells. Dumbbells will give you more freedom to develop your body evenly. However, few people will have access to this facility and in this case, you will have to improvise. Try some rejected push-ups. It's hard work, but if you feel like you're not getting the required amount of work, give it a try. This will be much more difficult, but if you need it more, try using one hand.

Legs
Legs are not the easiest part of the body to develop using home gym exercises, but with a little ingenuity, a lot can be achieved. Of course, this will be easier if you have a couch. Then you can use basic leg curls. Use dumbbells to do squats because they are very effective in developing thigh muscles. The calves are harder to control, but if you can stand on the bottom step with one foot without your heel touching the step, you can stand up on that foot. This is a very physically demanding exercise and will bring good results.

Arms
Arms are easier to incorporate into home gym exercises. Although professional gym equipment is always helpful, to develop your arms you only need a set of dumbbells. Perform basic curls to effectively build your biceps and train your triceps by performing easy seated triceps stretches. Also, use dumbbell bounces as this is a proven exercise for beginners.

Hopefully, this guide will illustrate what is possible with a home gym and you will be able to get a lot of results from it.
