| Not
everyone can afford the membership cost of a fitness club, let
alone home equipment. In case you cannot afford the brand new
weight lifting equipment, there are a few alternatives. There
is no reason to skimp on exercise. If you are strapped for cash,
a few of your household items to used goods make the perfect substitution
for lifting weights: •
Determine the type of equipment you would like to buy. Set a
budget price.
• Stop into consignment
houses, resale shop or thrift stores. Many time people donate
old workout equipment. In turn, these stores sell exercise gear
for a steal.
• If you can’ find
what you need within your price range, take a look around your
home and you’ll find that many household items to canned goods
represent weight. For instance, you can take empty water, milk
or laundry detergent bottles with either water or sand. (It
depends on how much you need to lift). The secure the bottle
is to with heavy-duty tape, duct tape. Remember to use your
scale to ensure the weight is appropriate for your needs.
Fitness tip:
Use the plastic household bottles with a handle. The weights
can be used for additional resistance for lower body training.
Exercises to body build your muscles in your upper body. Remember
to adjust your homemade weights to your appropriate fitness
level as you improve.
If you need a pair
of dumbbells, consider your canned goods. Since cans come in
different sizes, you can purchase ones that are easy to grasp
and lift. Then based on your lifting needs you can stack them,
place in a one-pound bag and stuff them in tube socks. Voila,
you have homemade dumbbells. |
