In the quest to keep fit perhaps the most difficult decision is whether to exercise at home or join a gym. There are many advantages to both choices, but choose wisely. The wrong decision could ruin your fitness goals.
First a piece of advice, before choosing which path you should take you first must know the destination. What are your fitness goals? Do you want to lose weight and tone up or do you want to build muscle through strength training. After you have determined your desired results you can then make and educated decision as to which location, home or gym, can get you there.
After you've determined your fitness goals you can begin to realize the ways in which either the home or gym can best help you reach your goal. The home is the choice of many simply because of the savings but, before you get your sweats out keep in mind that there are some costs linked to exercising at home. In order to achieve minimal results in most cases you'll need to purchase the proper equipment. Depending on you fitness goals this equipment can range from a basic weight set to treadmills and ellipticals.
If you are seeking a more rigorous exercise routine the gym is the place to be. With current exercise equipment and great perks such as, cardio classes, pools and personal trainers, the gym has everything you need. The cost of gym membership can add up quickly but, is well worth it if it going to the gym helps you reach your fitness goals.
When deciding whether to exercise at home or the gym; keep in mind that one will motivate you more than the other. If you've tried unsuccessfully to exercise at home you're not alone. Many find a lack of motivation at home and end up quitting their routine after a few days. If that sound like you make a change; join the gym. The expense of the gym may keep you going simply because you're paying for it. There are others who have joined the gym but, when the excitement wears off or life's demands come calling they quit going. If this sounds like you; why not try exercising at home. At home you can set up an exercise schedule that suits your needs. Just be sure to stay away from the couch and T.V.
Whether you choose to exercise at home or the gym; just exercise. You'll be happy as you see the efforts of your hard work pay off. - 15266
