When you are putting together a home gym on a budget it can be very confusing to know what equipment to buy.  Looking through all of the weight benches that are availiable can be very confusing and frustrating.    But really all you need is a sturdy flat weight bench and a set of dumbbells to get a good solid workout.

You can do almost any exercise that you can do on nautilus equipment at the gym with a simple set up at home.  Here is what to look for in a flat weight bench.

Coated metal parts.  It’s important that your weight bench has coated metal parts.  That way when you sweat on it it won’t rust out on you.

A padded top.  A padded top is all about comfort, but it is important.  The top should also be covered in vinyl, or something like that in order to be easy to clean.

Good customer reviews.  When you are selecting a flat weight bench to buy make sure that you take a look at the customer reviews.  Some are sturdier than others and you will find this out really quickly by checking out the reviews on Amazon.com

A flat weight bench and a set of dumbbells is a great inexpensive way to get in the shape that you want to get into FAST!
