Home fitnessFor some, committing to home fitness is simply easier than committing to a gym. Here are some of the top reasons when people are choosing home fitness over gym fitness:

• Convenience
• No commute
• No lines to use the machine
• Although home fitness costs more than a gym membership at first, in the long run it is a better investment.
• Since home fitness is in the comfort of your own home, you do not have to worry about making yourself look cute or presentable. You can workout in clothing with holes… you do not even need to brush your hair!
• You do not have to shower and dress in front of a bunch of strangers!
• You do not have to see all of those other people with their great figures – you can instead concentrate on improving your own health.
• You can exercise at any time you want to!

If you decide to buy home fitness equipment, there are some things that you should consider:

• Start out with a good cardio machine. Treadmills are very popular. On days you do not feel like jogging, you can walk. Elliptical machines, though, are also great, and they are much lower impact that treadmills. If you do not know what you want, consider getting a day pass to a gym and trying everything out. Most home fitness stores will also allow you to try out their equipment.
• To save money and space, opt for free weights instead of weight machines.
• Before buying anything, consider how much space you have in your home. If you do not have very much space, you may want to buy a fold-away treadmill. If you do have a lot of room to work with, considering getting a home gym, too.
• Decide where you want to place your home fitness equipment. The placement of your equipment can actually determine how often you will work out on it. Many people place their fitness equipment in the basement, but basements can be dark, dank, and depressing. Instead, consider putting your treadmill or rowing machine, etc. in front of a window.
• To keep workouts more interesting, keep your home fitness equipment in front of a window (as mentioned above) and/or a television. Just turn on the subtitles of your television – sometimes workout machines are loud, and you have to turn the TV volume up too high to counteract that noise.
• Choose a well-ventilated area – again, a window (one that opens) is good. A fan is also good.
