You could very easily perform a search on the internet and see that there is almost and never ending variety of home gym equipment available. But is it the price of the equipment that gives you results?

Of course not! You are smart enough to know that a thousand dollar stair climber sitting in your house will have you slim in a few months. However many people suggest this thinking by their actions. They decide to do something about their fitness and or weight and they dead off on their search . Yes, off to research the latest equipment. It does not matter if it is treadmills, resistance exercise bands, stationary bikes, a Total Gym or a huge home fitness center.

In the end you have to use the equipment. But what occurs so often is that you purchase the new equipment but only use it for a short time. Soon the new equipment is a decoration or a place to hang things. Next you start to feel guilty but soon you need your space back.

If this does not ring true with you then you are either on your first round or a dedicated individual.

One way to help resolve this is to realize that you can get fit with some very basic equipment. What about a jump rope for example. Are you able to jump rope for even 5 minutes straight? Very simple equipment, very little room and yet you can do some excellent cardio work.

For another example, consider exercise bands like Bodylastics, these bands are small, low cost and yet provide you with a great many options for resistance exercises. Imagine being able to do squats with more then 200 pounds of weight training  in your bedroom or anywhere for that matter. When you are done working out you simply place the bands in a storage bag in the closet with your compact carido equipment known as a jump rope .

Now even if you get side tracked and stop exercising, there is no large piece of equipment staring you in the face. Next time you get the urge to begin working out again you just simply find that small container on the shelf and start working out.

This is a great solution that solves your home gym dilemmas. Equipment like this is low cost and it uses little space so you can keep it year after year using it when you choose. You will not have to get upset with yourself because you wasted lots of money again on some new whim to work out. Your home gym is in the closet.
