Monsoon Must-Have: Home Workout Equipment

Barbells work for somewhat more serious exercisers, although even if you lift 12-20 pounds (roughly 7-10kgs), you can still find use for them. We do suggest that you buy a workout bench, since barbells require careful positioning for flat back exercises. Again, the plates are another cost here. The cost depends on the bar's weight, length, plates, collars (clips to prevent plates from sliding off) and workout bench. All in all, look to spending nothing less than Rs20,000. The workout bench should be adjustable to make exercises like incline press and decline press possible.
