Avoiding a trip to the gym is what everyone wishes for. Even the most ardent health freaks will agree that a trip to the gym is not as pleasant as many think it is. However, compromising one’s health just for the sake of staying indoors is an even worse choice one can make. As you plan to design and decorate your home, it won’t be bad to think about the option of converting a room in the house into a small heath studio. It necessarily does not have to be a fancy gym with expensive workout equipment. There is some essential health equipment that needs to be present in order to give the body what it needs.
Light/Soft Medicine Ball
Although medicine balls are supposed to be extra heavy, practicing with one indoors may not be good depending on the space you have. A center table might restrict you for example, or other items in the house. This is why picking a light medicine ball which is a meager 4 to 40 pounds in weight is ideal for in-house workouts. Perfect for rehabilitation and strength training for sports enthusiasts, the light medicine ball is made of strong leather. From practicing catch by throwing it against the wall to throwing it on the floor to do trunk twists, a number of in-house workouts can be initiated with the soft medicine ball.
Yoga Mat
A yoga mat is a staple for all in-house workouts. Why? First, working out on the floor is a tedious task. Secondly, working out would invariably result in sweating. Why risk slipping and breaking bones? A yoga mat helps in the following ways:
