LAY IT OUT Figuring out the perfect layout for your home gym is great for increasing the productivity and flow of your space . Start by positioning your exercise equipment in front of the windows . Make sure to leave ample floor space for stretching , circuits , and other floor work . Use a small shelf or table to store towels , water bottles , and portable speakers .
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED ? If working out is not a passion of yours , finding a ways to stay in your home gym and keep motivated will be a challenge . Therefore , some sort of entertainment factor is very important . Windows overlooking a beautiful view , a television , or a sound system will help you stay focused and productive while you ’ re working out . Another way to stay entertained is to watch your form while doing exercises . Create a wall of full-length mirrors so you can keep yourself in check . Lastly , make your home gym a “ no cell phone and social media ” space . This will deter you from getting distracted and to help you really take time for yourself to focus on your fitness .
