The Working Out At Home Explosion
Working out at home often conjures up images of lifting furniture, buckets of water or running up and down the hall. While training at home is done cheaply it doesn’t mean you need cut corners or do it badly. There is almost nothing you can’t do at home when it comes to fitness training. Working out at home is easy and fun.
Home fitness benefits
Perhaps one of the biggest benefits to working out at home is that you can really let yourself go nuts. If you want to make a crazy noise you can, if you want to hang out in your jocks you can, there is no one to watch. It’s also perfect if you’re a bit self conscious. At home you’re not being judged by anyone, well except the dog, and he can’t talk!
Home training popularity
Training at home has become very popular over the last 10 years due to the growth in global work travel and flexible working hours. If you’re travelling it’s hard to keep a gym schedule. It’s also a real chore for those of us who work 9-5. If you have a day job its difficult to even make it to the gym let alone workout or find time to work out with a personal trainer.
Most of us who work, have a time problem.
The solution
While exercise videos have always been popular in the past they were mostly targeted at the “stay at home mum”, sorry, but they were. Recently there has been an explosion in both the quality and the quantity of home fitness videos. Some workout videos are even made by soldiers, elite athletes and ultimate fighting champions.
A whole program
Home fitness has evolved beyond just video. Now, home fitness is considered part of a total fitness program. Fitness videos are usually matched with a schedule and diet.
Some of the more serious workout programs are high level and very intense. This means you’ll be able to watch them over and over and never feel like you have beaten the program!
The big guns
Did you know some of the biggest names in fitness have home training videos out. At this point you might be thinking, yea these guys are just cashing in, should I really take them seriously? Absolutely. Just because a training video is focused for use at home it doesn’t mean it’s not as good as a personal trainer.
If you travel, live a long way from a gym or just want to save money consider a home fitness training video. Just remember it’s not for stay at home mums any more!
