At Home Workout Essentials – An Infographic

13 November, 2013 by Giselle Rochford 5 Comments

I got a request for possible at home workouts a couple days ago, and I realised I never really covered them on the blog before. So it’s obviously time to change that.

I’ll share some actual at home workout routines later this month, but I thought I’d start with the tools you need for most at home workouts first.

Essential Tools for At Home Workouts

So you want to get fit, but you don’t have/want a gym membership. What do you do?

Well you could throw in one of those hilarious old aerobics DVDs, you know the ones…*cough*Richard Simmons*cough*.

Or you could get some at home workout tools and do most of the same workouts you could do at the gym. Just on your time and in your space.

Brilliant, right?

There’s a lot of different equipment you can get if you wanted to set up a more elaborate home gym, from a Bowflex to a squat rack and everything in between. But for beginners looking to do some strength training, these four are a great start to your at home workout equipment collection.

    This is excellent! I have one down, so three more to get! I especially want to get the bands, they are the most portable. I feel like the only body part I can effectively workout at home is my abs. So insight into ANY other body part would be great! lol If it can be geared towards strength training that would be even better πŸ™‚ Thank You

      I’ll maybe start with a full body workout next week and then legs/upper body the week after. Check back next Wednesday! πŸ˜€

For a really long time avocado on toast was a staple in my diet. I had it almost every Tuesday - mostly so I could have something to post on #toasttuesday. But when I took my extended break from social media last year I realised that I didn't actually want it week after week. And that just made honouring the real cravings πŸ’― times more satisfyingπŸ₯‘πŸžπŸ’š

Moral of the story: Don't let anything but your body & health - not a hashtag, fad or photo op - dictate what you eat. Just do you πŸ‘ŠπŸΎ

Quick thoughts on routines/comfort zones: I went skiing with some friends this weekend which is so far out of my comfort zone I still can't believe I went.
.
1. I get really anxious when I'm away from my apartment overnight (and this trip was ✌ nights)
2. New experiences scare me, especially when heights and falling are involved.
3. I'm scarily attached to my weekend routine and messing with that sends me into a tailspin.
.
Why I'm glad I went: The day started off horribly. There were tears and I had to be rescued by professionals a couple times but I kept going and by the end of the day I was having so much fun I didn't want to leave the slopes. I was also so tired after half a day of skiing I fell asleep before I could even miss my apartment. Lastly, I totally survived without my weekend routine. I have a packed lunch for the day (leftover from last week) I got the store this morning to stock up for the week and I feel more at peace and energized today than I have in too many Mondays to count.
.
All that to say: don't let your fears, routines or comfort zones stop you from experiencing everything life has to offer πŸ’πŸΎ
