A Patio Cover Can Turn Your Deck into an Exercise Room

Most people will admit that they should probably eat better, sleep more, and exercise more. But what are your options if you’d like to pump some iron or cycle on an exercise bike without having to spend money on a gym membership? Your basement might be an option, but perhaps there’s not enough space or it’s just not ideal for one reason or another. How about your patio deck? With a Sacramento, CA patio cover, you can transform your back deck into the perfect place to lift weights, do pushups, and use an incumbent machine. Here’s how. 

 

First Things First: Get a Patio Cover 

Assuming that your back deck is in good condition, you need to add a patio cover. It will provide protection from the sun and from the elements while still allowing you to take in the fresh air and to enjoy the good weather while you exercise. Without a patio cover, you’ll be exposed to too much sun, will find that your exercise sessions are subject to the weather, and will have to cover and uncover your exercise equipment each time to start and end a workout. But a patio cover will protect you from UV rays, ensure that you can work out whether rain or shine, and protect your stuff. So you need a patio cover if you’re going to exercise on your deck. 

 

Get the Right Equipment 

You don't have to spend a whole lot of money on equipment. Start off by buying a few things at a time -- and don't hesitate to consider a visit to a used goods store to find what exercise equipment might be available at bargain-basement prices. Look for some hand-held dumbbells, a mat or two that you can use for floor exercises, an exercise bike, and other small pieces of equipment. You'll find that you can get a full-body workout using just a few pieces of exercise equipment -- but you'll be able to do it outdoors where you can get some sun and fresh air. 

 

Other Things to Consider 

Don’t forget to exercise safely. If you have any health conditions, be sure to consult with your doctor before taking on a new exercise routine. Also remember not to over-exert yourself, and be sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your exercise workout.
