You have decided you are going to start your fitness at home instead of at the gym. The first thing you need to do is before you go shopping for exercise equipment is some research online.
Convenient For You
Maybe you like the idea of having a gym in your own home, you feel it will enable you can increase your fitness at home, at times it is convenient for you.
Time to Start Looking
You have now decided it is time to go shopping for some equipment. You head to the Sports store to start looking around for what you think you may need, and come away more confused. One of the biggest mistakes made by people when putting together a home gym is buying too much equipment.
If You Have Not Worked Out Before
When shopping, don’t go buying the same type of equipment, you don’t want an exercise bike, treadmill, and a cross trainer you may think you are covering everything you need but you’re really only getting equipment for one type of workout, so take it easy and only get what you need for now.
You Can Start with Less
When working on your fitness at home with the 7 Minute Workout program, you don’t need a heap of equipment to start with, all you need is a set of dumb bells starting from as low as 1kg increasing in weight by 0.5 kg at a time if you want, but you don’t need to buy them all at once.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed at the array of fitness equipment available today; you could end up blowing your budget, on new gear you don’t need.
Anyone thinking about shopping for a home gym should consider not only your fitness at home needs, but also your available space, your budget, and remember you only need 7 minutes 3 times a week of fitness training at home, so you don’t want a lot of unnecessary equipment cluttering up your space.

Keeping things simple is the way to go. Why purchase a $3000K Walking machine when a 3KG Dumbell could do the job. Best to start simple. Good advice.

I love the idea of a 7 minute workout, 3 times a week without leaving your home. I currently go to the gym in town and often find it difficult to get there and sometimes feel my yearly membership fee is going to waste. I do try and do 3 sessions a week though. I have never been Shopping for exercise equipment so thanks for these tips.
Hi Rita,
We love spending time working out with our family, especially because I dont have time to go to the gym. Shopping at home for gym equipments saves time and money! Its amazing how much basic equipment can be used for working out!

Hi David,
You really don’t need a lot to start, and when you have limited space it is good to know that what you already have can be used.

Hi Tania,
Starting up the 7 minute workouts, can be done with as little as 2 cans of soup weighing 500grams that is where I started. Shopping for fitness equipment to use at home came when I needed to increase the weight. The only other thing is make sure you have some protein to take 15 minutes before exercise and 30 minutes after especially when you go up in weights.

Shopping for fitness at home equipment can certainly be daunting. It is important to do some homework first, and know exactly what you want, otherwise it could end up being a very expensive mistake.

Hi Hilary,
Shopping for fitness at home equipment, for my next stage of development will be a case of what weight do I need now do I go up by 0.5 Kg or the whole Kg and that cost is under $60.00 for the pair.
Hi Rita
Doing your research before you shop for excersise equipment is such a good idea. Otherwise you could end up buying something that is not suitable for your needs. Love the idea of a 7 minute workout, perfect for busy lifestyles.

Hi Renee,
After 12 months at the Gym and having no real benefit I started shopping for fitness at home equipment , finding it so expensive I looked for alternatives thats when I found 7 Minute Workout where I did not need much equipment.
Shopping For fitness equipment at home will save you time and money! I agree that we ended up buying too much equipment when we do go looking for the best exercise equipment. At least with shopping at home you get to compare prices
Cheers
