Home Gym Equipment Tips
Although I personally have a home gym, last week i was on the road and decided to go for a casual gym visit; but it was harder than i expected! I was made to fill out forms, got asked all kinds of questions by a sales person who did not even look fit or active! I ended up spending less than half an hour at that gym and did not get to do all my exercises effectively. The equipment was either being used or i was being interrupted between sets and frankly the equipment was not the best. I ended up leaving frustrated and was followed up the next day to join that friggin' gym! Ha!
I have found that having the option to workout at home is essential for people with busy schedules, for others who do not like going to crowded gyms, shy people and of course the great savings from gym memberships and avoiding the sales pitches when your membership is about to expire (the only time you get real attention!).
Anyone can have a Home Gym and there are many reasons to have one. The following list of questions should help you design a Home Gym that will suit your needs, your space, and your budget!
How to choose MMA gloves
Read this if you are thinking to take up MMA training or want some useful information in the differences of MMA glove styles.
Padding
Fact, KO's occur more in MMA than boxing due to the impact and that MMA gloves are not as padded as a boxing glove. Make sure your glove has plenty of padding but not so much that it stops movement or is that bulky you can't perform your follow up grappling techniques. A good way to see if a MMA glove is well designed is the padding is incorporated on the sides of the glove so you can work the ground and pound hammer fist strikes.
