A budget home gym in India: what to buy, what to skip

Many Indians think a home gym means a treadmill that costs as much as a fridge, or a shiny multi-gym that eats half a room. That idea keeps people from starting. The truth is simpler and far cheaper. With two dumbbells, a mat, a set of resistance bands, and a doorway pull-up bar, you can train almost every muscle in your body inside a 6-by-6 corner of your bedroom. This article tells you what to buy first, what each piece is for, what to skip, and why this small kit beats a treadmill for long-term fat loss. The short answer: resistance gear builds and protects your muscle, and muscle is what keeps your daily burn high. A treadmill only adds burn while you walk.
