Building a low-budget and effective ‘at-home gym’ 🏠🏋️‍♀️

~5 minute read

We’ve encouraged our members to build an at-home gym long before people started spending so much time in their home in 2020. Accomplishing this one task is one of the best things you can do for your longterm health and longevity.

We’ve recently updated our at-home gym guide so that you can overcome 3 problems most people are faced with when trying to get fit after 50. The guide is short and to the point and has some new recommendations added since our version from 2 years ago.

Problems that this guide solves 🔒🔑

The first problem is not having an at-home exercise set up. This is a bigger problem than you might realize. But when you have a good set up in your own home you automatically remove a lot of the barriers to fitness.

Following a progressive program is crucial to avoid plateaus and get the best possible results. 👊

Although the key to reaching our fitness goals is to remain consistent, following the same program for too long can actually prevent us from getting the results we’re looking for. This is called hitting a plateau (aka stagnation).

For this reason, it’s important to change up our routine on a regular basis. A progressive exercise program will allow us to overcome these obstacles and provide a “snowball effect” so that we can get the best possible results! 🥳

In order to avoid hitting a plateau (and getting bored with our workout routine), we need to:

1. update our program every 4-6 weeks

2. gradually progress/change training variables

Everyone over 50 should be training these 3 muscle groups. Here’s why.

The Big 3 💪

Over the years, as the body weakens and posture worsens, the need to fortify the "big 3" becomes greater. To be successful you must centre your training regimen around these key areas.

The upper back, “glutes” and core muscles are incredibly important to train regularly. At Evertrain, all of our clients get a heavy dose of work on these muscle groups at every workout.

In 50+ people, these areas are universally the weakest regions. If they go unaddressed problems ensue.

We also train other areas, but the big 3 always remain top priority. Doing this will significantly fast track results all while reducing your risk of injury. 🚀📈
