To do this, it will be enough to get the basic material to set up our own gym at home :

A sag


Much simpler and cheaper is to buy a rope to jump rope. With it you can make series combined with other types of exercises or simply jump for a specific duration; and is that, for example, jumping rope for 10 minutes burns about 90 kilocalories (although this figure depends on several factors such as weight, sex or the intensity and speed of the jumps ...). You can get a rope to jump for only about four Hundred INR , although there are even electronic ones that are counting the number of boats we are doing, time and calories consumed.


Step step


If the neighbors downstairs knock at the door complaining about the constant noise of the jumps, a quieter option, but also something more expensive, is to acquire a step of step with which, to the rhythm of good music, can be burn enough calories. For about 2500 INR you can have this device at home.

Likewise, it is possible (and, normally, more common) to do other types of exercises at home, from muscle building classics to some toning and stretching.



Dumbbells

To this end, an essential material to assemble a mini-gym at home are a pair of dumbbells with different weights; In this way, dumbbells can be used for all members of the family by only modifying the discs of kilos to the physical conditions of each one of them. A set of two dumbbells of up to 10 kilos and a price of1000 INR for both can be enough for a basic general training, but, if you want a superior muscular work, you will have to choose between 20, 30 and even more kilos.


Elastic bands


They are also an almost essential element to exercise at home. With them you can put more intensity and variety to the exercises of bodybuilding, but can also be part of a stretching table. There are many models, sizes and types, but the most basic cost about 300 INR.


To make an even more complete table of exercises in which all the muscular groups are included it is convenient to have a mat, in order to be able to do floor exercises in a more comfortable way. You can find them at many different prices, although the cheapest ones are around 300 Rupees.


Fitball

To complete the training program a fitball ball can greatly expand the possibilities of home exercise . It is important to choose the most appropriate according to the height of the person who will use it, so if the family members are very different in size, unfortunately they can not share it. The price of the fitball is from 500 INR, but they bulge a lot and it is not comfortable to have several of them distributed throughout the house because of their volume; It is always possible to inflate and deflate them, but the laziness of doing it every day will be the perfect excuse for not doing our exercise table at home, and that is the opposite of what we are looking for.

A treadmill or an exercise bike


These are the classic devices for aerobic exercise at home, provided the budget allows, of course. There are many types according to what we can invest in it, from the most basic to some with monitors and programs to simulate that we run through parks or cities.
