You’ve made the investment in home fitness equipment. Not only does this mean you’ve invested in your good health, it also means that you rely on your equipment to help keep you in shape and healthy. If your equipment isn’t working properly, then not only does your physical health suffer, but your wallet may suffer a bit as well. Like any investment, if you take care of it from the beginning, you can avoid those larger costs later on. In order for you to get the most return from your investment, doing some basic maintenance on a regular basis can pay big dividends in terms of both how much you enjoy working out on your equipment, but also in keeping that equipment from costing you more financially.
Basic Home Gym Equipment Maintenance
Basic maintenance on your equipment isn’t complicated. And, it doesn’t take much work, either. Your first step – is to review the user guide that came with your equipment. There’s more than likely some simple directions as to how to maintain your equipment, and what the schedule should be for maintenance. And, if you can’t find your owners manual, most manufacturer’s websites also have PDF versions for download.
Keep it clean – and keep it working!
The next step is also very simple. Wipe down your equipment once you’re done using it! And, if you see any debris, remove it. This is especially important if you sweat while working out (and hopefully – your getting so much out of your workouts that you work up a good sweat!). Sweat is bascially salt water – which over time, can cause corrosion. A quick wipedown after your workout only takes seconds, and can have a big impact over time on how well our equipment works!
Generally, it’s recommended that you stick to an establish schedule in which these machines are inspected, cleaned and serviced (if needed) on a certain time table. Storing your equipment in a way that decreases the odds of damage, and using it in a manner that doesn’t cause extreme strain or wear on the equipment will also help it last a long time.
