WORK OUT FROM


If you are looking to get your workout and cardio in but the chilled and possibly unsafe weather of the fall and winter months is stopping you, invest in workout equipment that can be used indoors.


You can get equipment such as rubber weights, resistance bands and a stationary bike. Workout safely from home The colder weather of fall and winter can be too dangerous for you to travel to a gym and may be too cold for you to workout outside or in your backyard. You don’t need a lot of space to workout from home, clear a coffee table in your living room and place a mat on the floor. Start your home gym simple with a yoga mat, a couple of small dumbbells and a step stool.


STATIONARY BIKE Cardio workouts such as stationary bikes are a good home workout for both beginners and experienced gym heads. You can find stationary bikes at any of your local sports and outdoors stores. Stationary bikes can help your body in a variety of ways such as improving memory and brain functioning, lower blood pressure and hep you get better sleep. Stationary bikes can aid in weight loss and are an excellent workout for burning calories and body fat.


DUMBBELL WEIGHTS If you are looking to get a little more from your workout than to just burn calories then investing in dumbbells would be a good option for you. Dumbbells can be stored easily and basically anywhere if you have enough space to fit them under a bed or in your closet. You can workout various muscle groups in your body with dumbbells. If you are new to working out then start with light weight dumbbells and work your way up with more weight as you progress and become stronger.


RESISTANCE BANDS Resistance bands are an excellent option for you if you live in a small or studio apartment and don’t have space to store dumbbells or a stationary bike. Like the dumbbells, resistance bands can be used to workout multiple muscle groups. Resistance bands are used primarily for leg work- outs but can be used to workout your arms and even your chest.
