Strength training is an important component to your home gym workouts. But, what do you do if you want to incorporate strength training into your workout plans, but you’re not interested in building up a huge set of equipment and weights? You may want to look at adding body weight gym equipment to your home gym!
Bodyweight Workouts are an incredible way to build strength and muscle with minimal equipment. But, to get the best results from your bodyweight workout program, you need to invest in getting a minimal amount of equipment.
That minimal equipment choice comes down to the following items:
- Pull Up Bar
- Dip Station
- Suspension Straps
Pull Up Bars – These can be part of a stand alone, like the TuffStuff CCD-347 VKR Chin Dip & Push-Up Combo or a wall mounted unit like the Prism Fitness Group – Wall Mounted Chinup Bar. You’ll use a pull up bar for chin up holds, pull ups, hanging knee and leg raises as well as more advanced bodyweight exercises like inverted hangs.
Dip Station – With something like the TuffStuff CVR-341 Vertical Knee Raise Dip Stand, You’ll use you dip station for bodyweight dips, weighted dips, L sits and other exercises, which are great for doing abdominal work via leg raises, as well as working on your arms.
Suspension Straps – The TRX Home Suspension Training Kit, or similar type suspension strap systems, allow you to get a full body workout just by using your own body weight, also allowing you to do additional strength building exercises beyond what you can do with a pull up bar and dip station.
These three items take up very little space in your home gym workout area, so if you’re suffering from a lack of space, these pieces of equipment are a perfect start to adding strength training to your home workouts. And, you can find all this equipment at any of Fitness 4 Home Superstore’s three Phoenix area stores – stop in today!
