It seems to me everyday some new type of exercise machine is coming out and claiming to do a million things.
Some of these exercise machines seem reasonable while others are a blatant waste of money.
If your considering getting into shape from home all you need is three pieces of equipment.
The first two pieces of equipment you will need is a barbell and a few plates.
Places like sports authority sell barbells and plates in a combo deal for a low price or you could check your local Craigslist listings.
Once you have a barbell the amount of workouts you can at home are endless.
To name a few examples you can do a barbell curl, military press, squat and so much more.
With those three exercises alone your almost getting a full body workout.
The third and final piece of equipment you would need to buy is a workout bench.
A simple workout bench is very cost friendly and opens up a whole new set of exercises you can do at home.
When you used in conjunction with the barbell and plates you can easily work every single part of your body effectively with just these three pieces of equipment.
If you are willing to spend a little more money you could purchase a workout bench that has an adjustable back rest.
If you have a bench with an adjustable back rest that means you can do even more with your workout bench.
For example with an adjustable workout bench you can do exercises like the incline bench press or the decline bench press.
Once you purchase these three pieces of equipment you will get a gym quality workout at home while never having to pay expensive gym costs again.
