Heaven is a home gym

NO QUEUES: WORK OUT ANY TIME

Ways to create your own exercise space in a house.

Home gyms have been earmarked as this spring’s biggest home trend. Creating a space in your home to break a sweat is a great solution for busy people.

You don’t have to worry about elements like the weather to exercise, and you can train anytime of day or night.

Runners and cyclists, for instance, don’t have to worry about cars and congested roads to get their fitness fill. They can easily do their training workout on an elliptical slider or stationary bike at home.

In August, the Home Trend Gym feature at Decorex 25 collaborated with fit-fluencer, Lisa Raleigh, and FIBO SA.

Raleigh, who is a wellness expert and busy working mom, has designed a state-of-the-art, fully functional home gym.

She says: “I know gym sessions are often one of the first things to go when life gets busy.

“Because, let’s face it, sitting in traffic to get to the gym, only to be met with more queues for the treadmill, is a massive waste of time.

“This is where the home gym is such a fantastic solution.”

Her gym has a treadmill, nubells, exercise ball, mat and resistance bands.

But if you’re on a budget here’s how to make your own fitness sanctuary: ing pace.

For an added workout, run at a steady pace for 20 minutes.
