Keeping Fit is A Daily Battle

There are a number of reasons why we prefer to exercise at home, rather than working out on a gym. It is time-saving as well as cost-saving, you will cut down on travel time and gym membership fees.

But what does it take to exercise right at your own home? Will you get the same fitness benefits, or reach your fitness goals just the same? For some who has complete set of equipment (dumbbells, barbells of different weights, treadmill, etc.) yes, it could be. It would be more expensive initially but it will have longer benefits in the long run.

The downside is you will miss the social opportunities to meet other people face to face, who has the same interest with you of keeping fit. It will be a great motivation looking at other people, exerting effort to lift that weight so you will do the same; plus of course, seeing the opposite sex who is really attractive and it keeps your blood flowing high

The most important is, if you are just starting out to workout or on a new routine at home, you must have a guidance from a spotter or personal trainer who will show you how to correctly perform an exercise. Not keeping a proper form will lead to injuries, so for safety, it is best to have a spotter or a friend working out with you, to check on proper form when exercising and giving you motivation.

At home, a friend, wife/husband or workout partner could be available, but most of the time, this is not possible and you will be exercising alone.

Instructional videos are helpful in these case, so you can see the proper form of exercising and follow on; for example, on how to properly do a bicep curl, and you can imitate and see in a mirror if you are doing the same. I find this as effective method, since I enjoy the privacy and at the same time concentrating on the exercise. It is also motivating to workout when seeing somebody on video, as if he/she is exercising with you.
