Working Out at Home

There are two main benefits of working out at home:

· Convenient - no need to drive or walk anywhere

· Cheap - once you buy any necessary equipment it's free

There are also some potential drawbacks:

· Distractions

· Less choice of equipment

· Lack of motivation

These pros and cons don't apply equally to everyone, of course. For example, if you live across the street from a fitness center or have one in your condo complex (as some people do), then convenience isn’t a problem.

If you have plenty of room at home, and a sufficient budget, you may be able to have a complete fitness center in your basement, garage or exercise room. For most people, however, it's hard to accumulate the same diversity of equipment you'd find at a gym.

As for distractions, this depends on the environment in which you live. If you have kids, pets, family members or roommates who distract you, then home may not be the best place to workout. Also, some people find they have trouble focusing on exercise at home. They may be tempted to do other things, turn on the computer or TV etc.
