The Ultimate Guide To Building a Home Gym

I’ve definitely put on the quarantine 15, y’all. It’s just so easy to grab a snack from the fridge while I’m binge-watching my favorite show on Netflix. However, a few weeks ago, I realized I had to stop this behavior. It was getting too hard to put on my jeans! So, I decided to build a home gym, and now I want to share my tips with you. Here’s the ultimate guide to building a home gym that y’all should read if you need to shed a few pounds.

The Right Flooring

The flooring is one of the most important parts of the home gym, y’all. Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way. I didn’t think that flooring was significant until I started slipping all over the place while working out. So, I called up a trusted contractor I knew would follow CDC guidelines to install appropriate gym flooring. Vinyl is perfect because it’s durable and it absorbs moisture, so I don’t have to worry about sweating.

Gym Equipment

Once the flooring is set, make sure you get the right gym equipment. I know people are strapped for money right now, but you don’t need to go out and buy a whole new treadmill to have the ultimate home gym. Instead, look for some cost-effective dumbbells online. Another idea is to use that frugal mind and buy a used exercise bike from a social media group. Who cares if it’s not new? It’ll still get the job done.

A Clock

Y’all, you need a massive clock in your home gym while you’re exercising. For some reason, it seems like time goes slower when your sweating. As a result, invest in a gym clock that’s so big you can see it from any area in the room. That way, you always know how much time is left during your exercise routine.

This ultimate guide to building a home gym will help you all create a room your neighbors are jealous of. Yes, we’re all stressed right now. However, that’s not an excuse to throw our health to the wayside and eat whatever we want. Consequently, we should all build home gyms to stay safe and healthy going into the new year.
