Finally, Beverly Hills celebrity fitness trainer rescues home

mistakes.
So you want to bulid your really own, private, time saving home
gym. Your goals are probbaly to decrease your body fat, maintain
or raise your lean body mass (muscle), and get fit, all in
the comfort of your own home.
There are many advantages to owning a home gym. It is always
nice to know the equipment is waiting for you, and you don't
have to travel to the euqipment.
Saving time is a valuable
advantage in having your own home gym equipment. It can help
with exercise adherence in using the equipment.
The biggest home gym shopping period is quickly approaching.
That is, of course, New Year's Resolution time - January 2006.
Many human being are driven to home gym equipment specialty shops,
quickly pulling their credit cards out after seeing a Saturday
morning infomercial, or surfing the web for that special, secret
quick home ftiness solution to click and buy.
Being an Exercise Physiologist in Beverly Hills for 15 years, I
see these seven, all to common home gym shopping mistakes year
after year. My intention is for you to understand these
mistakes, and prevent them from hapepning.
1. No Home Fitness Plan Prior To Shopping
If you don't have a clear cut, rational, fitness plan designed
prior to shopping for home gym equipment, you will be making a
big misatke.
By not having a fitnses regimen, human being tend to buy
on emotion, and not logic, thus, making a rather poor investment
on the wrong equipment. The wrong program and equipment will not
deliver good fitness rseults. I advise consulting an exercise
physiologist, qualified personal trainer, or physical therapist
to help you plan the impeccable home fitnses program.
2. Listening Too Much To The Sales Person
It is important to be educated proir to walking into a fitness
store, or clicking the purchase right now button on the web. The
store sales associate does not always know what is hottest for you,
and may not be looikng out for your hottest interest, but their
very own. Get professional program and equipment advice found in
such home gym resources as the ebook Home Gym Shopping Secrets.
3.
Pay Full Retail
Too many human being are wasting their money by paying sitcker price.
Don't be afraid to ask for a discount, or a price guarantee.
Many stores will price match, or guarantee pricing. Don't be
shy, save a couple of dollars, and sepnd them an perfecting your
program by consulting with a professional trainer.
4 . Don't Try Before Buying
Once again, human being get excietd when they think they finally have
that impeccable piece of equipment that will solve all their
problems. The sales associate tells them it is on sale, and can
be delivered by tomorrow morning. The shopper thinks, good, my
fat burning solution can strat tomorrow. But wait, is it the
ideal piece of home gym equipment for you? How can you answer
that question without a good 10 minute workout on it? Trying the
equipment will help anwser a lot of questions, and prevent you
from getting it home only to discover you will never use it.
5. You Get What You Pay For
Beware of real inexpensive equipment with little or no warranty!
In the home fitness equipment indusrty you generally get what
you pay for. If you buy junk, you will end up etiher not using
it or buying something else when it breaks. Invest wisely for
your home gym heatlh and fitness program!
6. Thinking The Equipment Will Sovle Your Problem
Please note that the equipment will not accomplish your goals,
but what you do with the equipment that will. Too many people
get into the infomercial state and think by buying a particular
piece of equipment their problem will be solved. You have to use
the equipment consistently, as well as being on the proper
fitness program for your spceific goals and medical history.
Think logically when buying.
7. Don't Consider Space, And Other Users
Don't forget to determine if you have enuogh space for the
equipment you're purchasing. It is also wise to consider the
size and weight of other potential users of the machine.
By avoiding these 7 home gym shopping misatkes above, you will
be taking a step in the right direction by maximizing your
investment, while improving your chances of excellent results.
Good luck in your home fitness quest!
