Innovative Home Gym

            Sometimes you have only have a little space for you to work out, too little for you to pay for a big bench press rack or exercise machines.  Maybe you just simply don’t have enough money to afford big equipment for exercising.  That’s ok, because there are many ways to find cheap replacements for equipment that works just as well.  This post will discuss all the different innovative ways you can still workout without all those expensive machines.

            If you have no dumbbells and you don’t want to go buy any you can just take old empty milk jugs and fill them with sand or dirt.  Compare the milk jugs to weigh about the same or weigh them on a scale, if you need a dumbbell take a broom stick and duct tape two weighted milk jugs to the ends of the stick.  Sometimes you don’t have room or money for a weight bench, this is a simple fix.  All you need is a large plastic cooler that can support your weight.  All you really need is to support the back of your shoulders on the cooler and plant your feet on the ground to keep the rest of your body parallel to the ground.  Keeping your body parallel will also help strengthen your core while performing whatever lift you are doing. 

            Sometimes there are certain weightlifting accessories or machines that you want but either can’t afford or can’t find in your local stores.  One of these is a wrist roller, which works the muscles in your forearms by curling a weight up a small pole with a rope connecting the weight and pole.  This is a very simple machine that you can build using just a wooden dowel, a thin rope, and a drill.  All you do is drill a hole through the middle of the wooden dowel and feed the rope through the hole and you can tie a weight to the end of the rope.  Another machine that you can build is a arm blaster, which puts a support in between your body and elbows for when you are doing standing barbell curls.  You can go out and buy one for about thirty to forty bucks or you can make one with a piece of clean scrap metal.  All you need is a little elbow grease, something to bend the metal with, and optional padding for your elbows.  Just bend the piece of metal to the contour of your chest and add little curves on the sides for your elbows and add padding if available.  And there you go a cheap, almost free, arm blaster that you can use.

            Of course depending on the situation and circumstances of your home and workout preferences, there are many more options for you to innovate in your gym.  If you have the will to do it you can easily find a cheaper, easier, way to do it.  Remember, we’re all in this together, keep you stick on the ice.
