Home Gym Equipment
So, what kind of items could you look at if you’re thinking of investing in home gym equipment hire?
1. The Exercise Mat
An exercise mat might not be the most exciting piece of home gym equipment in the world, but that doesn’t mean it’s not important. If you’re starting your workout with some push-ups or finishing with yoga, your exercise mat will give you the comfort and stability you need to maintain your routine.
2. Weights 
All exercise routines should include some use of weights. Using weights doesn’t give you instantly huge muscles, but it does help to strengthen those muscles so that you can enjoy better endurance, and improved calorie-burning abilities. You can do plenty of great exercises with nothing but an exercise mat and the right set of weights.
3. Treadmill 
Probably one of the most popular forms of home gym equipment, if you’re looking for a simple way to workout, then the treadmill is for you. Everyone knows how to walk or run, and you can gradually increase the challenge of your running routine over time with incline and speed increases. While a treadmill needn’t be as intense as other exercise machine options, it’s a great way to get started with cardio.
4. Exercise Bike 
An exercise bike is another form of popular cardio machine that’s great for building the muscles in your legs and arms. Used correctly, an exercise bike can burn several hundred calories within an hour, and you can change intensity according to your needs. The best way to make the most of your exercise bike is to use it in interval training sessions, where you switch between periods of high intensity and low-intensity cycling, known as HiT (High Intensity Training). Keep checking back as we’ll be writing more on this subject very soon, with some great tips on how to get fit if you really don’t have much free time.
5. Cross Trainer 
A cross trainer is one of the more intense forms of home gym equipment. This machine stimulates walking, stair climbing and running, without placing additional pressure on your knees, feet, or any other joints in the lower half of your body. If you’re looking for a low-impact workout that delivers great results, you can do great things with a cross trainer.
6. Rowing Machine 
Finally, a rowing machine is a fantastic piece of gym equipment that can look intimidating at first glance but is actually relatively easy to use. The machine stimulates a rowing motion, which is great for those who want a low impact full-body workout. You can achieve a significant amount of weight loss and an increasing of core strength with a rowing machine, although you might have to work your way up in terms of intensity.
