The Benefits of Home Exercise
We all would like to lose
weight and get in shape with a minimal effort. That's how the fitness
informercial makes billions per year, promising miraculous results without
breaking a sweat.
If you are not fooled by
their claims then you know you have to work at getting in shape and losing
unwanted pounds. So where do you go for a challenging workout? If you are into
walking and running, during the temperate seasons you can get your cardio
exercise in the great outdoors.
But to get a total
workout that is not limited to moderate weather, you will need to either join
a gym or equip your home with fitness equipment. The major advantage of a home
gym is convenience. And it is convenience that can result in a more focused
exercise regimen. Home gyms are growing in popularity. In 2000 over $6.7
billion was spent on home fitness equipment.
Granted health clubs
have the advantage of working out with other like-minded individuals. And if
you are the type of person that needs inspiration from others, the health club
provides that environment. Of course, for singles it is a great place to meet
the opposite sex.
The disadvantages are
time wasted driving to the health club, waiting in line to use equipment and
costly membership fees. I personally like to work out first thing in the
morning. My time is limited due to my work schedule. The extra time required
to drive to a health club would deter regular workouts. Exercise for me is not
a social activity. I want to burn as many calories and strengthen as many
muscles in as little time as possible. In my case exercising at home is more
practical. Now you
