I live too far away from an organized gym to make a membership worthwhile. I simply don’t have the time in my schedule to drive forty minutes to workout. I’ve set up a home gym in the basement. It’s so convenient to be able to exercise whenever I have the opportunity. I sporadically workout actually early in the afternoon or especially late at night… The rest of the family isn’t disrupted. The basement is attractively cool all year round. I have a attractive area where I can focus actually on my fitness, however unluckyly, I have limited space. I am quite particular about adding component to my home gym. I started out with nothing more than a yoga mat as well as a set of free weights! Over the years, I’ve added a jump rope, incline bench, mini trampoline as well as battle ropes! Just recently, I decided to invest into a bigger machine; Because fitness machines are quite large as well as overpriced, I wanted to make a smart choice. I researched different options, weighing the pros as well as cons of each. I originally planned to purchase a treadmill, however, I was sad about the impact on my joints as well as feet… After quite a bit of debate, I obtained a stationary bike, as well as I’m actually glad with it. The equipment operates almost silently as well as provides a beneficial workout. I can particularly get my heart rate elevated as well as labor up a good sweat. I burn anywhere from four hundred to five hundred calories every session. The seat is comfortable, as well as I can listen to songs as well as read on my ipad while I pedal.
