Everyone knows that going to the gym can be a real pain in the ass. It isn’t the most efficient way to get a workout as you have to drive to the gym, which can be difficult especially in the winter months when roads may not be up to par. Also, you have to pay a monthly fee just for the benefit of being able to use their equipment. A great alternative to the gym membership is a quality home gym in your basement, garage, or other living space. This way you don’t have to worry about driving to get your workout in and you can do it from the comfort of your own home. If you are serious about lifting, then the home gym could be the answer.
For those who have a home gym or want to build on, an important piece of equipment to include is the power tower. A power tower is a fairly simple structure that offers you multiple exercises that tone and build several muscle groups including your arms, back, shoulders, abs and obliques. What we appreciate most about the power tower is that most of the exercises it makes available to you utilize your own body weight. This makes switching from exercise to exercise easy and quick. Also, it may save you some money sense you won’t have to spend as much on plates.
