Working out from home can be a game changer when it comes to establishing a sustainable fitness routine or as a viable option for those times when you can’t get to the gym. From being super convenient and eliminating travel time, to flexibility in the workouts you choose to do, working out from the comfort of your home (or even a hotel if you are traveling!), may be the secret ingredient to a happier, healthier YOU! It takes away barriers that may be present when times are busy, schedules are “off” or when work or family life get hectic. Here are some of the benefits of creating a home workout environment:
- Convenience: Perhaps the most significant advantage is convenience. You can exercise at any time that suits your schedule without the need to commute anywhere. This flexibility is especially helpful for those with busy lifestyles, children at home, or irregular working hours.
- Cost Effective: Home workouts can save you money in the long run since working out at home requires minimal investment. You can start with using just bodyweight and an exercise mat, then add a few essential pieces of equipment that are relatively inexpensive like exercise bands, a pilates ball, yoga block and/or dumbbells.
- Privacy: For many, a public or gym environment can be intimidating. Exercising at home can help build confidence and establish a routine before venturing into a more public setting.
- Flexibility and Personalization of Workouts: You have complete control over your workouts. You can work out at a time that is convenient for YOU without worrying about a strict timetable. You can choose the type of workout that aligns with your goals and preferences. choose the music, set the temperature you prefer and design your workout space to suit your needs.
- Time Efficiency: When you work out at home, you eliminate the time spent traveling to and from a specific location. This can make your workouts more time-efficient, allowing you to fit them into even the busiest of schedules, which is KEY to establishing a consistent habit of movement and exercise for the long haul!
- No Dress Code: There’s no need to worry about wearing specific workout attire or feeling self-conscious about your appearance when working out at home. Casual is definitely “in” and you just may need a supportive sports bra and sneakers depending on the workout of choice.
- Family Involvement: Working out at home can encourage family members to join in, promoting a healthy lifestyle for everyone in the household.
