About Home Gyms
While offering the convenience of working out in the comfort and privacy of your own home, home gyms also allow you to focus on specific routines without having to wait in line or switch between a complex array of machines. In addition to improving strength, power, coordination, and muscular endurance, weight training can enhance weight reduction, enhance the immune and cardiovascular systems, and help prevent injuries. In general, home gym machines are compact units designed to strengthen and exercise many parts of the body. While no single home gym can provide a complete strength training solution, they are a convenient way to combine many exercises into a single unit. Some home gyms focus exclusively on upper-body workouts, while other, more advanced units focus on upper- and lower-body conditioning.

Customer Review: Awesome! Versatile! Effiecient use of Space!!
This is not the identical model we bought from Amazon a couple years ago since it is missing an attachment. We love it. Great quality. Easily adjustable. I only do about 8 of the 11 exercises on it and get great results in very little time. Takes up very little space as we have it in the bonus room side by side with the treadmill. We've been using it for a couple years and haven't had a problem. Top notch especially for the money.
Customer Review: I Love It
This is a fantastic home gym with lots of versatility. 1) Solid contruction, built very well. It's very stable. Weights do not contain any lead. Pulleys are quiet and smooooooth. The weights are coated, so they don't "clank." 2) You can add weights to the system - they are magnetic weights that sit on top of the individual weights. The max weight without added weights is about 180 lbs. 3) Comes with an well illustrated poster, showing more than 20 different exercises for this machine. I framed mine and put it in our weight room. 4) The seat is very comfortable, thick, and adjustable. I am 5'1 and my husband is 6'2, and we both can use it easily. 5) You need only about 7 feet by 7 feet for full "clearance" on this machine. The back can be as close as 10 inches from the wall (on the weight stack side) and you still have plenty of room. The machine itself is about 6 feet by 5 feet, the height is almost 7 feet. 6) Easy to put together. It comes with tools and great directions. The only tool we needed was an socket wrench for tighening bolts. The total time to assemble was about 45 mins. I looked at several home gyms before buying this one, and it was, by far, the most solidly built for the money. I also like that you can add more weight as needed and that it has so many different exercises and positions. This is a great all-in-one. I love it! By the way, the description on this item says it comes with 100 lbs, but mine came with 150 lbs (for a total weight of 180 lbs resistance). This means that you can get at least 50 lbs extra weights (not the magnetic kind.... but the standard kind) on the machine, which is nice.

Do you think that to improve your health and fitness levels you have to join a gym? Do you still believe that you have to exercise for half and hour or an hour each time to actually get results? Well if you answer yes to either of these questions, then you will find that now is the time to make a change!

Research has shown us that you can improve your health, fitness and lose fat by working out at an intense level for just ten minutes a day.

I love this!

Why? Because I hate working out?? No, absolutely not! BUT...because we can look at ways to be fit and healthy without stressing about how we can fit in three sessions a week at the gym and still get everything else done. Or about how we can get to the gym when we have no one to watch the kids. OR.. The fact that you have no energy to go back out to the gym after a long day working.

The fact that exercising in bite sized chunks for just ten minutes a day, removes one of the main barriers to exercise of...lack of time! Let's have a look at some of the other barriers we can squash here!

• Barrier 1: The exercises you can use to get the full body working at an adequate intensity level do not need to be done in a gym... you can do it at home, in the garden, in the park.. no need to spend extra money.
• Barrier 2: Lack of money. The equipment you use... is largely your own body, to start with, then you can use... water bottles (filled), rucksacks (containing books) anything you have around the house.. which again means no extra cash to be spent!
• Barrier 3: Lack of motivation. You only have to work for ten minutes at a reasonably high intensity... So you don't have to push yourself for an hour at a time.How many people are unable to maintain focus and keep themselves moving for just 10 minutes!

With this type of routine... you start to feel results fast.. because you are using your whole body to get moving... just a little bit at a time. You may not drop a dress size in the first week but you WILL start to feel your muscles fizzing with energy and your whole body and mental focus improve, really, quite quickly. Surely starting to feel the benefits of little bite sized chunks of time spent on your fitness and health will help to keep you motivated.

Over time you will start to feel the effects in your energy levels, body shape, mental focus and of course your fat loss.. but all of this of course has to be brought together with being mindful of what you eat... i.e keeping a good clean diet, free of toxins and additives and being aware of, and working towards clearing any negative thought patterns you have that prevent you from reaching your goals.

So...Bite sized chunks of exercise should be the way forward for all of us who are aiming to be healthier and fitter, without having to devote valuable work or family time to the cause!
Plus if you are really aiming to improve your lifestyle, get the whole family involved! Take your bite sized chunks in the garden, to the park, incorporate it as part of the dog walk. The key is to make it a lifestyle choice rather than a chore and you will reap the rewards of your efforts! Now is that motivating, or what?
