NEAL BOULTON

On average, a man joins a gym during the holidays or in the beginning of spring. And, on average, he sticks with it for three months. With the economy sagging, however, more men are bringing the gym home, saving travel time, gas money, and avoiding interruptions in their workout that often lead to the complete abandonment of their program. But we don’t want you to merely build a home gym, we want you to build a stylish one hot enough to keep your interest piqued, so it doesn’t just collect dust.

Evaluate Step back and take a macro view of your home. Whether you live in a studio apartment of a mini mansion, fitness at home need not clutter or crowd. Find the right place where you can spend 20 minutes a day working out. If your space is limited, think vertically, as in a tree of barbells; if you have a fair amount of square footage, consider a row of equipment. Smaller spaces should make room for a fitness chest, where jump ropes and medicine balls, steps, and stabilizing balls can be stored neatly out of site, while larger space can offer separate rooms, so you can simply close the door and keep your sweat room out of view.

Begin The best home gyms are populated with a range of free weights tailored to your goals and strength. While machines and gadgets can work fine, they often are cumbersome, far more expensive, and not proven to deliver the results we want for you. Free-weight, or weight-resistance training, fires muscles and burns fat. It can also shift your goals, saving money on purchasing equipment you don’t need. And because you will most likely see the equipment throughout your day and evening, choose products that look good. It will encourage you to use them. Consider one or two brands and stick with them, like Everlast (www.everlast.com) and BodySolid’s black and chrome 50lbs dumbbell sets, at www.Modells.com.

Set a Goal Know your goal. Do you plan to bulk up, get lean, or just stay toned and active? Bulking up? The key is to burn fat, but not at the expense of your hard-earned new muscle weight. For this goal, use fewer, but slightly heavier, weights, and go easy on the cardio. If it makes you feel good, fine, but it does compromise your gains.
