It can be expensive to have a gym membership and given the fact that you may not use it as much as you should to warrant the expense is a consideration. Home gyms are wonderful if you have the space for a few key pieces. But if you don,t have no fear, there are plenty of items that you can use to get that core in shape and feel great too!
A solid core leads to overall strength. Your core is considered to be the belly, mid back and lower back areas and can also include your hips, shoulders and neck area too. A solid core helps to support your whole body. It is made of muscle fibers and by improving the muscles in your core you will be able to support your body better – walking upright instead of a bit slouched; have an easier time getting in and out of a chair and so on.
It takes a few simple exercises that you can do at home to improve your core. And with that comes simple equipment you can use at home too. Want to improve your core?
Simple Equipment to Work Your Core at Home
* Walking, Walk DVDs -tighten and tuck the tummy while moving
* Dumbbells – Arm Curls, Shoulder work
* Kettlebells – Lifts, squats, swings
* Flat bench – Leg Lifts, Curls
* Floor Mats – crunches, squats, planks
* Medicine Ball – Side turns and over the head lifts
* Ab Machines – Vertical knee Lifts
* Chin up bars – Pull ups
* Exercise Ball – Crunches, balance, plank, bridge
And this is just a few exercises you can do using these simple equipment pieces. I have been adding some simple pieces to my home gym and one of the items that is next on my list is a professional quality exercise ball.
The DynaPro Exercise Ball is delivered with the quality that has been proven. This is a GYM Quality, Heavy Duty Ball which can be used for many applications. From Physical Therapy, Home Workouts, Pilates, & Yoga to Personal Training; this ball will be up for the challenge for a long term solution.
