Check Door Clearance Before You Start Training

A door that swings into a workout area can interrupt a session or meet equipment unexpectedly. The floor may look clear while the door's path is not.

What to check

Open the door fully when planning the space and consider other people who may enter. Arrange the session so the room's normal access still works.

A home training room also has everyday jobs. A workable layout respects those other uses as well as the session you are planning.

Try this planning step

Include door movement in your space measurement.

Watch the home workout

My 12-minute Fitness Guy home workout in Japan shows two-arm curls, alternating curls, push-ups and standing knee raises. Watch for the context of one home session, and choose what is appropriate to your own circumstances.
