Does training at home pay off?
For the body to respond and interpret the stimuli given to it, expensive equipment is not necessary, nor much space.
The body basically needs to make an effort until, or close to, fatigue!
Our body doesn’t know if you are lifting a bar with washers or if you are lifting a gallon of water!
What really matters is the effort made! So training at home can really work!
How to train at home?
A good strategy is to use simple equipment . Some equipment that can be purchased with low investment and that can be used for several different exercises.
For example rubber bands, dumbbells and suspension straps (better known as TRX).
It is also possible to adapt some items that we normally have at home and “transform” them into overload!
In addition, there are good exercises that can be done with body weight . There is no shortage of alternatives!

And if you’re a fan of the gym and you think it’s not worth the investment in training material at home, remember that it can be useful in the future.
You can use this equipment for travel or even for that day when you are unwilling to travel to the gym.
There are scientific studies that have shown that, more important than the equipment used, is the proper execution of the exercises. Combined with sufficient overload, so that, with safety and adequate stimulation, the organism responds, evolving!
