How To Combine Gym Training And Home Exercise Equipment
By Dane C. Fletcher

Many of us have tried working out at home. You spend hundreds of dollars to build a home gym. You renovate a room or your garage. You fill it with weights and benches. You give it your best.

Then, of course, you don't consistently use it. You find there are many distractions. You find that environmental factors (hot and cold) often keep you from training, should it be in a garage or patio. And finally, as anyone who has ever trained at home will tell you, there are limitations. Most home gyms are very limited in terms of machines and convenience. You don't have the ability to grab 20s, 40s, 120s, or any other size dumbbell as you see fit. And you sure don't have the wealth of machines that you have at your fingertips at the "real" gym. Also, you often miss out on the camaraderie, inspiration, and freshness that come from training in a fully furnished gym. Training alone in a small room in your home just cannot compare. Home gyms are often more convenient, but as a full-time solution, they are quite limited.

Many of us have tried working out full-time at a gym. The equipment is superior. Cleanup is a breeze. The place is wide-open with inspiration, variety, and many machines and varied benches. You have thousands of options at your fingertips.

Then, of course, you don't consistently go to the gym. Time crunches happen to even the most devoted of us, and we find ourselves skipping the gym to deal with real life issues, which take priorities. Your workouts suffer and you miss planned workout days. The drive to the gym, five days a week, is a huge demand on anyone's available time.

The solution might lie in finding a combination of home training, and gym training, to make the most of your time and available resources, taking into account specific body part needs. For example:

Plan on doing chest and shoulder training at home.

Plan on doing back, arm, and leg training at the gym.

All you need for the home gym is an adjustable bench, barbells, and dumbbells. You can pick this up for under $200. It will allow you do train those two body parts completely from the comfort of your home. This will mean you only have to make the drive to the gym three times per week. It allows you to maintain variety in your training, save time and money, and ensures you train five times every week!
