In the hustle and bustle of daily life managing the time for workout requires great efforts.
But, what if I tell you that you don’t solely need to rely on the gym anymore for keeping yourself fit?
Home workout is what I am talking about. It truly makes one of the best ways other than gymming to shed extra kilos and stay fit.
Do you want to know why exercise at home is as effective as gymming? Let’s find out.
It is Cheaper
You might waste your valuable money on a gym membership that you are not even able to go every day. On the other hand, home workout does not require any fee or charges. Find a suitable space in your house where you can stretch out properly and there you go! Sounds great right?
Convenient
What’s worse than coming home after working for a long period of time and then rushing to the gym? What if the gym has already closed because you are a bit late? Don’t you think this is too hectic?
While if you follow home workout then you can do it anytime as per your wish. Come home, take some rest and start exercising to stay fit.
Comfortable
It is more comfortable to exercise at home because you don’t need to worry about how you look and what you wear.
At the gym, people are usually concerned about how they look. For some, it is also a bit uncomfortable to work out along with other people.
Home workout is the best option in this case as you no longer need to put stress over such things. Wear your favorite pair of shoes with comfy track pants/pajamas etc. and burn calories within your privacy.
DIY Gym Equipment
You will be glad to know that you can use household items like gym equipment too! Here’s how:
- Use water bottles/cans as dumbbells. Increase the weight as per your convenience.
- Take a bag pack put some books inside to make it a bit heavy and use it as weights for pushups.
- Use stairs for cardio.
- You can make the use of the chair too for performing several exercises.
Make Your Own Rules
Most of the gym has their own schedule of exercise assigned for everyday like cardio for Monday - Tuesday, aerobics for Wednesday – Thursday, weight training for Friday-Saturday and so on.
While home workout gives you an opportunity to decide which workout to follow at what day. Also, you can add fun to it by doing a variety of things every day to stay fit and healthy.
- Going for a walk.
- Following a workout app.
- Using YouTube tutorial to exercise.
- Cleaning and dusting of the house also help you to burn calories since it includes movement of the entire body.
- Go for hiking/trekking on weekends.
- Play some outdoor sport like basketball, football or swimming if you like for weekend gateway.
I hope this post has cleared all your doubts and now you can easily choose the place which suits you better whether the gym or home workout.
Whatever you follow just make sure to maintain a healthy diet at the same time to obtain the relevant results. It is of no use if you are indulged in a lot of physical activity but ends up on eating unhealthy junk food.
Instead you can have the following food items to maintain the calorie count:
- Most obvious yet important, drink a lot of water so that you feel full for a longer period of time and cut down on hunger.
- Other than water drinks like lemonade, buttermilk or coconut water can be consumed for better taste with the same health benefits.
- Yogurts, nuts, oats and whole grains.
- Fresh seasonal fruits and veggies should be a part of every diet.
- Juicing is the other option to obtain those fruits and veggies that you might hate to eat anyways.
- If done properly, juicing is a great way to acquire several vitamins and minerals all at once.
- Drink fresh and natural cold-pressed juice if you want to consume a glass of juice loaded with essential nutrients up to the brim.
- Cold-pressed juice has more health benefits as compared to regular juice because the juice is extracted without the exposure to heat which makes it able to retain vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients.
If you are unsure about choosing a home workout or the gym. I would advise you to try both and then make a final decision. Almost every gym provides a free trial period of 1-2days whereby you can work out and see if it suits you or not.
Eat the right food and workout for at least an hour to have a healthy lifestyle. Enjoy!
