Mindset To Begin The Transformation

Creating an epic home gym is just the start of your building a mindset first for a shredded summer journey. To truly slay your fitness goals, you'll need to craft an environment that breeds motivation and consistency. Dedicate a bangin' open space for your workout zone, allowing plenty of room to move and groove. Surround yourself with motivating elements like inspiring quotes, fitness tracking tech, and most importantly, a playlist that'll keep you pumped through every rep. 

Say goodbye to crowded gyms and rigid schedules; with your own home gym setup, you have the freedom to work out whenever and however you please.

To help you make the most of your home gym equipment and embark on your fitness journey with confidence, we've put together a comprehensive workout plan tailored specifically for Brisbane summers:

Morning Routine (30-45 minutes):

• Start with a brisk walk or light jog on the treadmill for 5 minutes to get your heart rate up and your muscles warmed up.

• Switch to the elliptical machine or cross trainer for a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session.
• Alternate between periods of maximum effort and active recovery, aiming for a total of 15-20 minutes.

• Head over to the power tower for a full-body strength workout.
• Perform sets of pull-ups, dips, and leg raises to target your upper body, core, and lower body muscles.

Afternoon/Evening Routine (45-60 minutes):

• Repeat the same warm-up routine from the morning session to prepare your body for the workout ahead.

• Set the treadmill to a challenging incline and speed to simulate outdoor running.
• Aim for a steady-paced run or incorporate intervals to keep your heart rate elevated and burn maximum calories.

• Utilize the cross trainer for a low-impact yet effective full-body workout.
• Focus on maintaining a steady pace and engaging your muscles throughout each movement.

• Finish your workout with a cooldown period on the treadmill or elliptical machine, gradually reducing the intensity.
• Spend 5-10 minutes performing static stretches to help improve flexibility and prevent muscle soreness.
