A friend asked about my reasons to do home workouts instead of going to the gym and the bottom line for me is it’s just better, not a little bit better but much much better in fact and better in many ways too, I am much fitter now than I ever was before I started working out at home and it may work for your too.
Hands up if you have ever said, or thought something along these lines……
All are excuses I know I am guilty of all of these and I am willing to bet most of us have haveused at least one of these excuses at least at one time.
The thing is that we need to recognize them for what they are, excuses, diversions, procratination call it what you will – buying a pair of trainers, an expensive gym membership or even a thousand dollar home gym won’t get you fit, action will get you fit and if you are struggling with motivation consider these top tips
Just Do it
Want some reasons to not go to the gym here’s some good ones just to start!!!
Comment below for your favorite gym irritations!
Exercising at home is without a doubt faster and a more efficient use of your time.
First I am at home each day anyway so it’s not special effort to go there, Second let’s face it going to the gym can feel a bit like going on a stage.
Depending on your habits you can spend large amount of time getting ready to look “presentable” for the gym. I am not particularly slow at getting ready but I conservatively estimate 45 minutes at least to get changed, find the right outfit, pack what I need to take to the gym, things I use while working out and to shower afterwards.
Then there’s the travel to and from the gyms, parking, and getting into the gym, use the changing rooms, put things in a locker and finally get ready to work out.
My old gym was close by, just a 15 minutes drive but it took an additional 15 minutes ontop for those other things, so that’s an extra 30 minutes times two so an hour to add on to the 45 minutes to get ready – so that’s almost two hours wasted already before I have even done a single exercise – seriously who can afford that?
Exercising at home is way cheaper, you know and for some people “saving on a gym membership” is enough but that’s just the start, savings you can make include:
Here are some of more obvious benefits of home exercise that we can characterize as “freedom” to exercise on our own terms
I am sure there are many other benefits that I have missed so please comment below and I will add them
Ok I know that sounds kind of paranoid and I’m not saying that Safety is a big factor in a decision about whether to follow a home fitness plan if say you live on “the mean Streets of Santa Monica” then again if you have a tougher neighbourhood then leaving a gym at night can be a serious issue, consider this:
That’s right I said it, you massively cut down on the most common reasons for not working out, it all but obliterates all the major excuses we all use for not looking after our health:
It’s just easier to be accountable and you know what that feels great it really does – I am in control it’s down to me.
Health and fitness is a major issue for all age groups today.
Child obesity is a national epidemic, weight related illnesses and adult diabetes are at record levels too.
Working out at home demonstrates to your family and children that you are taking responsibility and making your health a priority.
“Health is wealth” and teaching these values to child is literally priceless – too often we see neglectful parents allowing children to destroy their own health for the want of proper parenting – their are no excuses knowledge about diet, exercise and healthy living is freely available these days.
