Home-Based Workouts Provide 3 Worthwhile Advantages

By Elizabeth Anthony


Starting an exercise program to get in shape or lose weight can be a huge challenge for many of us. It can be challenging, arduous and time consuming particularly when we first get started. However, if we stay with it, the outcome can pay off in the end. The trick is persevering long enough for that to happen.

Working Out at Home

Exercising at home by yourself does have it's challenges. Typically, we are by ourselves without the motivation from others, and there are a lot of other activities to distract us from our ultimate goal. That said, at-home gyms or exercise videos can be very efficient, if we use them the right way.

Below are 3 advantages to exercising in your home that can make it much easier for you to get started and succeed.

1. You Can Do It in Less Time

When you work out in your home, you don't have to drive to the fitness center, a class or a to meet with a personal trainer. For many people, this cost savings can cut exercise time by 50%. Since there is less time needed, it also now becomes simpler to squeeze into your daily routine. It's more realistic that you can locate 30 minutes to workout than and hour (or 1 hour vs 2).

An additional aspect to consider is that if you only have 10-minute time periods to spare, squeeze in 3 brief workouts per day for a total amount of a 30-minute daily regimen. If you form a habit of doing this immediately when you awaken, right before lunch and prior to dinner time, after a while you will not really notice the bonus time you have actually added to your schedule.

2. It Costs Less

When you exercise in your home, you're cutting out the expense of a fitness center membership, an individual trainer and a fitness class, not to mention the expense of gas to get there. Workout videos and gear do cost money, however, over the course of just a year there is still a significant cost savings. Plus, at the end of the year, you will still own your gear, which you can continue making use of or sell to pay for some of your costs.

You can invest less than $50 for home exercise gear to more than $1000 on workout gear. The choice is up to you, but the trick is to buy items that will get you the results you desire sooner rather than later - which includes keeping you inspired.

Some people discover that exercise videos offer inspiration through direction from physical fitness experts that you can see and hear. Other people choose equipment that enables them to view movies while exercising.

Another thing to consider is variety. Boredom can cause you to lose inspiration, so when you change up your exercises, you avoid this from happening. For example, try indoor and outdoor exercises, alternate machines with videos, combine interval training, endurance workouts and sprints.



3. You Improve Your Willpower & Discipline

There are plenty of times in our lives where discipline is convenient. For instance, refraining from eating a piece of cake, not procrastinating on a chore or achieving career objectives. I have actually learned that this asset takes practice, and the more you practice discipline, the better you become at utilizing it.

Encouraging yourself to accomplish a regular exercise regimen at home (when nobody is around to check on you) is a big accomplishment. Not just will you get the advantage of a healthier, better-looking body - but it will simultaneously end up being much easier for you to inspire yourself in the future to take on various other projects and objectives.

Set an exercise schedule for yourself with an initial objective of adhering to it for 21 days. That length of time is considered to be the habit-forming period, after which it becomes much easier to continue and ultimately reach your goals.
