No more crowding at the gym! Home workout equipment for your home gym

Gyms are open again, and boy isn't it packed! So if you haven't carved out a little space out of your home for a personal workout gym, consider doing it for ease of keeping fit. After all, we do not need a huge space to perspire. Just take it from me.

All the items in the above picture can be moved around to make space for the day's workout. There are, of course, pros and cons to this arrangement, the biggest con of which is the fair bit of adjustments you will need to make for your workout. However, that beats grumbling about gyms, crowds, and people not putting their weight back on the rack.

The major pro: Walk two rooms length, and you will be able to get a safe and familiar space to sweat it out, and there's no need to share!

If a home gym sounds like a promising idea, here are some starter equipment you might want to consider based on your workout needs.
