1. Invest in some fitness equipment.

You really don’t have to buy all the tools found in gyms, but you should have the basic equipments such as: • mat for workout • bench • A few set of dumbbells • Depending on the amount of weight which can be carried, get a few medicinal balls • stability ball • a few DVDs featuring easy to follow gymnasium exercises (optional)

2. Develop a training course.

If you go to the gymnasium prior to your decision to do your fitness training at home, then you may keep up with your old fitness training program, and do some revisions or adjustments with it. If not, then it is best to seek advice from a trainer first. It’d be easier to lower the intensity of the exercise at first, and then gradually increase the reps and sets. Also, do not ignore your targets when developing a fitness training course. Are you doing this just to be fit or there’s something more you wish to achieve? You could be conditioning your body to try a few new sports or you might wish to enhance your present sport performance?

For every sport, there’s a different set of muscles to be developed, for example in softball, it is important to strengthen the legs to run fast and the arms to pitch. You may do a little weight lifting for your arms and some plyometrics for your legs. Regarding basketball, you must have quick foot work, plus endurance and lots of stamina. To develop this, you have to raise your plyometrics training in order to improve these skills you require for particular sports. With regards to volleyball, it is vital to enhance the jumping height of the player. So before developing a fitness training program, consider these issues. You also have to choose how many sets and repetitions you should perform for a certain exercises, also the days when you are going to perform a particular program. The following example is ideal for a proper weekly fitness training course.

Monday – Weight Training (with dumbbells) Tuesday – Plyometrics with medicinal balls Wednesday – Running, Swimming and other Cardio Workouts Thursday – Rest day Friday – Weight Training without dumbbells Saturday – Plyometrics without medicinal balls Sunday – Resting
