With 2019 fast approaching, you may be starting to think
of what New Year’s resolutions you’re going to put in place.
For many, that involves making positive changes to your
lifestyle, eliminating unwanted bad habits and trying brand
new things. And one of the most popular resolutions? Of
course, it’s to get to the gym, eat healthy and lose that
Christmas weight.
Although a gym membership may seem like the ticket to
hitting and maintaining your fitness goals, the actual fact
is that this simply isn’t the best option for many of us. With
today’s busy lifestyles, more and more people are choosing
to train at home. Proving more practical and effective, here
are just a few reasons why…
1. Time is on YOUR side – When you’re a gym
member, you have to fit your regime around opening
hours and equipment availability, not to mention
other gym members! When you have equipment
at home, you can exercise whenever
it suits you. Plus, with no travel to
consider, you can complete your workout
that bit faster.
2. No distractions – When it comes to
working out, most of us just want to get
on and focus. Small talk can be distracting
and annoying. At home,
nobody will disturb you. Plus, you’re always
first in line to your equipment and
you can hog it for as long as you please!
3. Create your own personal
workout haven – When you have your own workout space,
you don’t have to worry about anyone’s needs. You can
set up your equipment exactly how you like, listen to
whatever music you like (as loud as you like), and
you’re in charge of what equipment you have.
You can do your research to find the best
brands and know that you’re using
equipment that you trust and will
deliver the best results.
4. Save money – The cost of a gym
membership adds up over time and we
don’t often get the full benefit.
Exercising at home, you can choose key
pieces to suit your budget, which means a
great investment. Once you have what you
need, you can add to your personal collection
as and when you want to. And you don’t have to
spend a fortune either. There are fantastic options
to suit all budgets, as well as plenty of inexpensive
functional pieces that can really complement your
training, such as resistance bands, kettlebells,
dumbbells, and medicine balls.
