The choice of the perfect location

Ideally, it is advisable to take a separate room under the home gym, while its area should be at least ten meters square. If you live in a private house, the veranda will be the most successful place for him, thanks to the opportunity to organize good ventilation. When it breathes easily, it is doubly more pleasant. Also, the attic is also a good option.

But in general, a home gym can be organized in any room with windows: if there is a normal air flow in the room, it will be easy to train in it. In the stuffy room without windows, you will tire very quickly, feel constant discomfort. Needless to say, in such an environment, enthusiasm is very quickly confused?

Finishing and design of the home gym

Walls

The walls of the home mini-spaulus must be vapor permeable. This is explained by the fact that in the premises of such a plan, even designed for two or three people, inevitably the accumulation of a certain amount of moisture. If the surface is finished with plastic or tiles, condensation will form on them and such an atmosphere is far from healthy. Therefore, it is advisable to give preference to materials such as color plaster, wallpaper or cork.

Floor

The flooring for the home gym should be selected convenient, reliable, with good sound insulation. Doned floors will not work unambiguously. We recommend that you do this:

• equip a floating screed;
• lay a high -quality soundproof substrate;

However, it is worth noting that the mirror in the interior of the gym is by no means an attribute of self -love, but a motivator to perform exercises correctly, monitor personal progress.

It is worth knowing! Far from always the mirror in the gym causes pleasant emotions. During one of the psychological studies, it was found that women suffering from obesity perceived their reflection in the process of performing exercises extremely negatively. As a result, their sporting interest and a positive attitude suddenly faded away. Therefore, the decision on the need to install mirrors in the gym should always be taken taking into account the wishes of all family members.

The necessary things in the home fitness center are also:

• hangers for towels, clothes;

If a large room is designated under the gym, you can install a coffee table and a leather sofa for comfortable timeouts there.

Many people prefer classes with video instructors-which means that if possible, a personal fitness center should be equipped with a TV and a DVD player (there are units with a built-in player and USB-port for flash drives). Fans of song accompaniment of all their affairs cannot do in the gym without a musical installation.

Decorating space

You can decorate the room with bodybuilders (for men) and photographs of models or beloved show business stars (for women). In general, any images, paintings, figurines of sports or near -sports topics will be appropriate here.

How to equip a home gym

In the home gym, at least one cardio trafficker or a treadmill or an ellipsoid must be installed. The rest of the equipment and devices should be selected depending on personal goals, preferences and, of course, the gender of the training.

Men will need a horizontal bar, a power simulator or a bar, perhaps a boxing pear. One mat for classes on the floor is required.

When equipping a home gym for the whole family, it is advisable not to compete with an inventory to buy a couple of fitballs, a Swedish wall, hoops, a rope. All households will be delighted, from small to great guaranteed!
