Buying home exercise equipment can seem like a chore. There are so many options-treadmills, elliptical machines, weight sets, Bowflex machines, and stability balls. Navigating the information can be overwhelming.
To make buying a little easier on you, follow these 3 keys to get the most for your money:
Know Your Goal
If your goal is weight loss and moving more and you like TV, consider buying a treadmill, elliptical machine, or stationary bike to use while watching movies or your favorite shows.
Planning on building muscles? Buying weightlifting equipment can be easier than you think. The most important factor in choosing the equipment is finding out how much you can lift for the exercises you plan to complete.
If you won't be using anything heavier than 80lb dumbbells, you can buy adjustable weights from companies like Bowflex. These weights allow you to add or subtract weight simply and easily from the dumbbells, so you can just buy one set.
You can complete all your benching, deadlifting, and major exercises with adjustable dumbbells, and you don't need a bench. Its nice to have, but you can perform bench exercises on the floor.
If you lift heavier, consider getting a simple squat rack, a bench, and the amount of weight you will be using. It is not a good idea to buy all this equipment upfront if weightlifting is not a habit you are used to yet.
Stability balls, bands, and gadgets are all extras. You can buy them if you want to, but you won't need them unless they already have a special place in your heart. You can work all your muscles with adjustable dumbbells and only need more weight if you lift heavier.
What's your Budget?
Making exercise equipment choices is much easier if you know what you are willing to spend. If your budget is limited, start with adjustable dumbbells, or call around for used equipment. Gyms will often sell used equipment and you can put a classified on Craigslist or another site letting people know you are willing to buy their equipment. You can buy from eBay and online auction sites, but be wary that shipping weights and equipment can be expensive.
Will You Use It?
It doesn't matter what home exercise equipment you buy if you never use it. It is important to buy the equipment that will be easy for you to take advantage of everyday. Sometimes, you will buy something you don't use. For this very important reason, find out everything you can about the return policy on your new exercise product.
Find a 30-day guarantee if you can, and get realistic information on how much work it will take to send back, if the store can pick it up, and any return fees.
Remembering these 3 keys to buying exercise equipment will make your chance of purchasing the right equipment at the right price nearly a sure thing.
