One of our big goals on this podcast is sustainability and consistency, and the whole process of going to the gym is a huge barrier for many of us.The hassle of preparing your clothing, gym bag, nutrition, and then factoring in drive time, weather, convenience within our schedules, compounded by access to random equipment at the gym, sharing a rack or barbell with other members, and sometimes dealing with policies like “no deadlifting” are just some of the many reasons we find to just hit the snooze button and avoid our workouts altogether.That’s why building your own home gym can be a huge factor in developing good habits and consistency with your workout routine. It saves a ton of time, you can choose exactly the equipment you need, you can control the entire experience, and you can be more flexible with your training schedule. It’s a simple but highly effective step you can take to eliminate excuses and keep making progress.In today’s episode, we cover:The pros and cons of a home gymWhere in your home and how much space you need for your home gymWhat type of flooring to useBasic equipment to get started for the main liftsExtra equipment for accessory and bodybuilding movementsNice to have equipment to cover almost everything elseTimestamps:00:00 - Intro02:14 - Pros and cons of a home gym08:46 - Location and space requirements15:15 - Flooring17:49 - Basic (must have) home gym equipment31:35 - Extra home gym equipment40:35 - Ultimate gym equipment44:34 - Final thoughtsRELATED LINKS:Fitness Reality Power Rack (Amazon)Vertical Leg Press (Titan Fitness)?
