HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN HOME GYM

Creating your own fitness room at home is simple and doesn't require a lot of space, but rather the right accessories. The essential accessory is the gym mat. Most people have one at home, but it's important to choose one with the right thickness for your exercises. To start strengthening and diversifying your exercises, you can add elastic bands, a swiss ball, and small dumbbells weighing 0.5kg, 1kg, 2kg or 3kg to your gym.

If you want to go even further, you can also add weights to your gym. To do so, please visit the Sport page dedicated to Bodybuilding.

Once you've got all the accessories you need, you may want to add a piece of fitness equipment to your home gym. At Decathlon, you can choose from a wide selection of fitness equipment from different brands: DOMYOS NORDICTRACK and PROFORM. So, which piece of fitness equipment would you like to have in your home gym? Treadmill, rowing machine, exercise bike, spinning bike or elliptical?

WHAT IS FITNESS?

Fitness, like gymnastics, is a sport designed to improve your physical condition. Exercises can be performed with or without accessories, and are designed to gradually build up your stamina, while helping you burn excess calories. Regular fitness training stimulates your whole body. You'll improve your cardio-vascular system, learn to manage your breath better and tire less quickly during exercise.

FITNESS CLOTHING AND SHOES TO FEEL COMFORTABLE

Fitness exercises involve all your muscles, with rotational movements, jumping, stretching, bending and more. Fitness clothing designed for fitness training has the advantage of offering great freedom of movement. They are made from breathable textiles to rapidly wick away perspiration. The men's and women's fitness collections are in fact designed to adapt to the intensity of effort you exert during your sessions. Lightweight and flexible, the shoes provide optimum support and cushioning to enable you to perform your exercise routines correctly.

THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT TO BOOST THE BENEFITS OF FITNESS

Fitness exercises allow you to work different muscles at the same time or separately. You have a wide choice of equipment to strengthen and tone your upper or lower body. They have the advantage of allowing you to progressively increase the intensity of the exercises to suit beginners and experienced athletes alike. Elliptical trainers, treadmills and rowing machines are all easy to adjust for resistance and speed. You'll also find a whole range of practical accessories such as mini-trampolines, steppers and skipping ropes to vary your movements. Your workouts will be even more dynamic.
