More DescriptionThis book sets out the benefits of creating your own home gym environment - explaining the range of exercises that can be performed and the equipment you will need accordingly.The book follows a modular approach, whereby each module is defined in terms of the equipment needed, space requirements and a description of the types of exercises that can be performed. The most basic module is for bodyweight exercises with minimal equipment and not requiring any specifically designated space or storage requirements. The most complex module combines dumbbells and barbells with a weightlifting bench inside a squat rack to enable safe and effective squatting and bench-pressing (amongst a wide range of other exercises).The book also includes a series of worked examples for home gym equipment ranging from minimal cost through to a very comprehensive setup that incorporates most of the modules and offers an extensive range of exercise possibilities.The key principles followed within the book are:- Space efficiency: to help you get the most out of the space you have available at home;- Cost efficiency: allowing you to tailor your equipment to your budget (including cost-saving tips);- Time efficiency: aiming to minimise time-wasting activities where possible.The focus of this book is on the equipment that will enable you to set up a home gym - with a mapping of relevant exercises to the equipment. The book does not stray into the world of exercise programmes as there are countless other books and websites dedicated to that subject.
