Strength Train At Home With Or Without Weights

Not everyone lives near a reasonably priced gym or has the time to travel to the gym. Consider these two strength training home gym options. Here are two dependable and effective solutions that the average person with limited resources (including money and space) can use at home. One or both will meet your needs for years to come.

Compact: Don't let the small size fool you. The Terrell Owens Super Strong Man home gym system is an all-inclusive compact strength training solution. It truly is a gym-in-a-bag that can travel with you and is perfect for vacations, business trips, or office use. When space is at a premium and a traditional home gym is not an option, the T.O. system is so small you can stash it in any out of the way place like a draw or closet. This would make a great system for a college dorm room. Adjustable Resistance: Creating customized workouts (free download) of up to 254 lbs, (as little as 1 lb at a time) of resistance is easy. Unlike other fitness tubes with handles attached, the unique clipping assembly on these tubes allow the user to clip multiple tubes onto the handles, ankle straps and door anchor. Functionality: Another feature we like about this strength training home gym is that you can replicate exercises just like equipment in a gym or design your own moves. Fitness tubes have the advantage of being able to move in virtually any direction, not just up and down movements. Bodylastics takes immeasurable pride in the fact that their fitness tube systems are able to perform over 140 top gym movements. Affordability: The complete system is under $100 and only $10 more for an extra door anchor and circuit training DVD - learn how to combine cardio pumping exercises in between strength training with these fitness tubes. Free Workouts: Not sure what to do with resistance bands? Join Bodylastics for free daily workouts here.		Compact: If you're lucky enough to have some extra elbow room and like the idea of strength training at home with a gym that utilizes weights, the Body Solid Powerline Hardcore gym has some amazing features. The first thing that caught our eye is the small footprint. It's roughly 3' wide by 5' long and would comfortably fit diagonally in the corner of a room. Adjustable Resistance: We suggest ordering the optional 150 lb weight stack. Resistance adjusts just by easily moving a pin to another part of the stack. Challenge yourself a little more and add standard weights to the freeweight carriage for a combined total of 200 lbs of strength training madness. Functionality: You don't need a room full of massive, expensive equipment to get a full body workout. This single machine can do it all and comes with a wall poster describing 24 different exercises. You'll be able to perform numerous high pulley, low pulley, chest press and leg extension/ leg curl exercises in any room of your home or office. Affordability: With weight stack, this home gym is only $657 and comes with free shipping. Still not sure? Instant credit approval is available with no money down, no interest, and take up to 3 months to pay.
