The Living Room Gym

THE LIVING ROOM GYM

When space is tight, home gym equipment can end up in the living room. While this doesn’t give you a dedicated space to train, it can be all you need to keep your workout routine intact and top of mind. Here are a few things to keep in mind while creating a fitness space in your living room.

 

BENEFITS

• A living room may be full of entertainment options like TV and music, which can take your mind off of your cardio exercises at home.
• Easy access to your gym equipment makes it easier to get workouts done.

 

GYM EQUIPMENT IDEAS

• One piece of cardio equipment. Consider a foldable treadmill, indoor cycle or rowing machine, all of which can be easily moved out of the way when not in use.
• Strength training tools like kettlebells and dumbbells that can be stored out of view, and an exercise mat for stretching and yoga.

 

ADDED CONSIDERATIONS

• Consider the aesthetics of the equipment. Cardio equipment like an IC5 indoor cycle or Row HX trainer have design elements that you might not mind showing off.
• If noise is an issue, consider cardio equipment like cross-trainers that have nearly silent operation.
