Finding motivation to work out at home can be hard. While discipline is important to make it happen, upgrading its design can help, too. Learn how to refresh your home gym, giving you all the confidence and motivation you need to break a sweat at home with our tried and true tips.
How To Refresh Your Gym
There’s no need to make this harder than it has to be. To refresh is to simply replenish or restore. A deep clean can go a long way in addition to a few gym upgrades.
Add Color
Adding color to your gym can help inspire you to workout. You can add color through unique lighting, such as neon signs and strip lights, or through paint. Focus on colors that offer a calming yet energizing feel. Think of shades of red, green, blue, and yellow.
Declutter and Revive Your Equipment
Wipe down your dumbbells and other weights; don’t forget your machines. Clean your mats! If not properly cleansed, the dirt and moisture accumulated over time can begin to smell. Go through other gym accessories and determine whether or not they need to be restored or replaced. Let the decluttering begin.
Proper Air Circulation = Fresher Environment
Gyms can smell. Invest in proper air circulation to make sure sweaty scents aren’t trapped in the air, causing an unpleasant aroma. Even if it’s just a fan, it’ll do you justice. If not, use an essential oils diffuser or odor-neutralizing spray.
Ways to Enhance Your Space
With a reinvigorated space, you can incorporate a few new pieces for a better at-home gym experience.
Invest in Practical and Functional Essentials
Work smarter and work harder. Your home gym is the perfect place to hold your gym essentials. From shoes and jump ropes to a water tank to stay hydrated, it’s important to have items to make your workout easier and convenient. Consider a shoe rack to keep your workout sneakers in close range or to store your mats.
Enlarge Your Space with Mirrors
Mirrors are a multi-purpose item that every person should have in their gym. Hanging mirrors along your wall makes your space feel bigger than it is. Mirrors are especially nice to have when you’re working out in a smaller area. For dark rooms with minimal natural light, they’ll help brighten up the space. Plus, they’re also great for checking your form during your sets.
Inspirational Wall Art
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes, all it takes is a few to keep you going. Investing in inspirational quotes by those you look up to will motivate you to stay on the treadmill for an extra 10 minutes (or more).
