During the pan\u00adde\u00admic, many people were unable to use their gyms. As a result, they were forced to start exer\u00adcis\u00ading at home. There are good reasons why, even years after the lock\u00addown, many people are still setting up home gyms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before setting up a home gym, many ques\u00adti\u00adons often arise. We support you in plan\u00adning and sel\u00adec\u00adting the right equip\u00adment.<\/p>\n

Where can I set up my home gym?<\/h2>\n

People who set up a home gym often choose the base\u00adment. There\u2019s usually space, and the base\u00adment tends to be cooler than the rest of the house, meaning you won\u2019t sweat exces\u00adsi\u00advely, and you won\u2019t need an air con\u00addi\u00adtio\u00adner. The garage offers similar bene\u00adfits. Here, you won\u2019t be dis\u00adtrac\u00adted, and the floor doesn\u2019t require special pro\u00adtec\u00adtion. However, in winter, you might need to con\u00adsider heating. If you have a hobby room available, you can set up your home gym in the living area for a more luxu\u00adrious feel.<\/p>\n

If space is limited, you can still work out in the living room. One of the biggest advan\u00adta\u00adges of this room is that it typi\u00adcally already has a TV, where you can play workout videos and bring the feel of a fitness class into your home gym. However, you should avoid working out in the bedroom. This room should be reser\u00adved for rela\u00adxa\u00adtion and should not be asso\u00adcia\u00adted with acti\u00advity. In other living areas, small and compact solu\u00adti\u00adons are often neces\u00adsary, but you can still train effi\u00adci\u00adently.<\/p>\n

The formula for space in your home gym<\/h2>\n

Regard\u00adless of the room you choose for your home fitness setup, always pay atten\u00adtion to the room size. For a single piece of equip\u00adment, four square meters is usually enough. For a more com\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsive workout area, ten to fifteen square meters should suffice. As for ceiling height: If you plan to hold a barbell<\/a> over\u00adhead while stan\u00adding, ensure the ceiling is high enough to avoid hitting it.<\/p>\n

Beginners and Pros, Cardio and Strength Training: Who Needs What?<\/h2>\n

In a home gym, focus on the equip\u00adment and func\u00adtion\u00ada\u00adlity you truly need. If your focus is cardio<\/a>, you might need a sta\u00adtio\u00adnary bike, a pun\u00adching bag,<\/a> and a jump rope<\/a>. If you\u2019re pri\u00adma\u00adrily inte\u00adres\u00adted in strength trai\u00adning, look for a full-body strength station<\/a> and some dumb\u00adbells<\/a>.<\/p>\n
