Germ and Bacteria Dangers of Working Out at The Gym and Health Club

From CBS News. Do you risk a “super-bug” infection from a dirty locker room, or do you die young from sitting on the couch doing nothing?

I love working out at the gym. It’s a great way to get motivated and gets you out of the house. The trouble is not only the risk of sickness from germs and bacteria, but it is a hassle. After a long day at work, there’s little time for dinner, kids, and going to the health club. Mix in weather and traffic, and it can seem like you can never make it to the gym.

A few select pieces of home gym equipment is a convenient and affordable way to get the workout you need, whenever you need it. Start with an exercise bike for basic cardio and build out with perhaps a rowing machine for variety. Add basic strength equipment like a set of dumbbells or a Weider 5000. For a great toning, cardio, and strength workout at home, Stamina AeorPilates reformers have become extremely popular.

You can avoid the hassle and possible health dangers of a health club, and get more frequent workouts with simple and inexpensive equipment at home. Be sure to check out Better Health Innovations and Be Fit Innovations for all your fitness needs.
