Decorating the Home Gym
     Need some motivation to work out?  It's a lot easier to motivate yourself when your home gym is decorated to suit your taste and personality.  Create your home gym space with functional design that also speaks to your goals.
     Color is very important in a gym space.  Since color affects mood, the wrong colors can make the room uninspiring, causing you to be tired and unmotivated.  Those are certainly not the feelings you want as you step into your workout room.
     Orange increases metabolism, so it is a great color choice to lift your home gym - orange walls energy.  Stick with an orange that has a lot of yellow in it.  Too much red can cause fatigue and even raise you hunger.
     Soft blues and greens will enhance a peaceful, tranquil atmosphere - perfect for a yoga space.
You want your gym to be exciting, but too many bright colors can tire the eyes and lead to fatigue.  So rein in any desire to go too bold. 
     Once you've painted the walls, decorate them with artwork.  Consider motivational posters or fitness-related images for inspiration. home gym motivation
     Take into account the flooring in your gym space.  Carpet is a good option because the padding protects your joints and provides a comfortable base for floor exercises.  Rubber flooring can reduce the chances of serious injury.  And if anything is dropped, like a heavy weight, it protects the floor beneath it because it absorbs the shock.
     Another thing to keep in mind when decorating your home gym is the lighting.  If your space is dim and murky, you probably won't want to spend much time there, so make sure it's brightly lit.  Full spectrum bulbs are a great choice, as they can be extra energizing.
     Don't forget about your nose.  A home gym tends to start smelling less fresh as it is used, so think about strategically placing bowls of potpourri, burning incense or aromatherapy oils, or including natural plants in the room.
     Always keep your fitness goals in mind so that you create a home gym space that supports your objectives.
