No Gym? 5 Must-Have Fitness Items
Today's August Blogger Challenge question fits perfect into what is happening in my life now! Since we have moved a few weeks ago, I am needing to decide whether or not to keep the gym membership that I had or cancel it and workout at home for a stretch. The gym I belong to was literally door to door 2 minutes from our old house and so an early morning workout was simple to fit in before work. Now it is about 15 minutes which isn't much but you saw my schedule yesterday....tight! Plus Miss Capen #2 will be making her appearance soon so I will need to fine tune my "making fitness fit" skills again! I may be looking at cancelling the membership, free tanning and all. This is a hard decision for me because it has been 17 years since I have not had a gym membership....yep 17 years! I'm nervous not to have that gym environment not to motivate me...will I slack at home?....will I get the results?...what do I need to have the same results?
Here are my 5 must have items for at home fitness....
A treadmill...don't forget I'm a running crazy gal!! We were so blessed to find one on a great sale!
Lifting a baby is not going to cut it in my quest for jacked arms...the only struggle is finding the right weight amounts. I have up to 10lbs but I know I'll need to up the weights.
Short time calls for HIIT training....getting the best sweat-inducing workout. A good timer is a must!
Yes my love for Saucony continues!!! A great pair of sneakers though is a must have for fitness...home or at the gym!
A good plan....there are races to train for and goals for post-baby body but without a plan, nothing will get done! I am equipping myself with plan from Train Like a Mother, killer workouts from Blonde Ponytail and my fellow kick butt Fitfluential Ambassadors, and a few apps on my iPhone. I've been collecting workouts!!

ReplyDeletemy gymboss is THE BEST!! jump ropes are good too!
ReplyDeleteTreadmill, weights, Bosu ball, and my bike on a trainer! I pretty much do NOT go to the gym for anything other than the pool, so a home workout space is a must for me. I think you could do it, too!
ReplyDeleteI love my gymboss too, I also adore my elliptical for low impact and wish I had a treadmill. HIIT workouts have changed my life.
ReplyDeleteI tagged you on my blog today

ReplyDeleteI would be loooost without my Garmin! I also love my handheld amphipod water bottle for my runs. Great list btw!
ReplyDeleteYES. i am in the same dilemma right now trying to decide on whether or not to get a gym membership or go without. not sure i can afford a tm right this second but definitely going to be looking into getting some more weights and collecting more workouts!
ReplyDeleteI have a 3 month pass to a local women's only gym that I'm going to try out for the next few months and see how often I am actually using my membership before committing to an entire year. I am fortunate that I have everything I need at home already (minus a bike) so if the gym doesn't work out then I can go back to doing what I've been doing here at home.
ReplyDeleteGreat list:) I am so behind on my blogger challenge:0 Love the quote!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list. I don't have a home gym, but would get a treadmill first if I did. I love my nike tempo shorts, my Garmin and a set of free weights!

ReplyDeleteI bought a treadmill about a year ago and initially was worried I might not use it often enough. But I was so wrong, I love having a treadmill!!
