How often do you use your home gym equipment?

Question by Honey: How often do you use your home gym equipment?
If you have some, how often do you go on it (use it) and what type is it? I have a full gym with weights and everyting, but seeing that I am pregnant, it’s getting a lot of dust on it now. Though I pick up my cross trainer tomorrow. So excited!!! Great low impact workout…I think i’ll go on it every day,!! (well for at least for the next few weeks)

I use the equipment I have at home several times a week. A lot of it depends on the weather outside. If it’s nice out, I’d rather go run a few miles outside than do something inside.

I live in a small apartment, so I don’t have any fancy equipment, but what I have is more than enough to provide a good workout and keep me in shape. For strength training, I have several sets of free weights and resistance bands. Combined, one can do lots of different exercises and they don’t take up much room. I also have some exercise tapes, a step, and a mini stair stepper for days when the weather isn’t so great out. I also have a yoga mat and some accessories for yoga and pilates.

The equipment I have is cheap, small, but one can still stay in good shape without all the fancy equipment or having to go and pay for a gym membership.

i would definitely recommend “Pilate’s for dummies” i did it for about 2 months,4 days a week and lost 10 lbs but it looked like 20! and it really toned my whole body,my tummy went down,and you dont need any equipment,all you need is the dvd,and on the dvd is a beginers course,the moves are all very easy to learn,i dont know if everyones results are that good but its def the best pilates video ive found.
good luck!

good luck!
