I started doing this a month ago and ended up quitting the gym because it was so effective at toning, weight loss, just making my body look way better. It only takes 30 min. a day too! I love Jillian.
Home Fitness Gyms Equipment:
It isn’t all that complicated. Just make sure that you have the fundamental equipment. As a trainer, I think it's important that you are able to do a variety of full-body workouts. This includes at least dumbbells and a solid bench. Then you might add barbells and a Swiss ball.
Dumbbells
Dumbbells are a home fitness gym essential, necessary for presses, arm exercises and even some core exercises. There are a variety of dumbbells out there, from the very cheap to the boutique. All of these fall into one of two categories: fixed weight or handles only.
Handles are plate loaded, meaning you slide the weight plate on it yourself and then fasten the weight with collars. Handles are either standard or Olympic. Standard are slightly smaller in diameter than Olympic. You will want to coordinate any plate loaded barbells with your dumbbells so that the weights are compatible and interchangeable. Standard handles start at about $8. Olympic are pricier and longer. This added length actually takes some getting used to on certain exercises.
Fixed dumbbells look great and are more convenient since no loading is required. Buying a set of fixed 5 to 50 pound dumbbells, including the rack, will cost around $800. Not cheap and they require lots of space.
Selectorized dumbbells, or ‘power blocks’, are essentially nested hand weights. They quickly plate load the dumbbell for you. They also make designing your home fitness gym easier, as they require little space. Expect to pay around $250 for a unit that goes from 5 to 45 pounds.
