Ways to get your workout done

Going to gym is great. Why is it great, here is a brief overview:

1. Gym has an ideal environment and tools to workout. You can meet many people that are on the same page with you, it helps to get that extra motivation and gain new knowledge. Many people are afraid to go to gym, specially the ones that are beginners when it comes to exercising. They think that when they go to gym, they are not going to know what to do and how to start and how to use the equipment. But in fact it's really easy, you go to the gym and you watch what other people do and also every piece of equipment has the instructions of usage. So no worries, if you know how to read you will figure it out. But anyway, it's not a rocket science.
Other fears are that people are afraid to be judged by others in the gym. When it comes to it I completely disagree. Vice Verse, you will get more respect than you even think, people are going to admire you that you woke up from your couch and came to workout. And anyway, everybody in the gym is there for the same reason, to look good.
2. Gym takes you to a different environment where everything is about being healthy and being in shape. There are no distractions. Everybody there is for the same reason!
3. Discover a new fun place for yourself, make going to gym your time.

I would definitely recommend anyone to enroll in the gym or local recreation center, where it's much more cheaper.
But if you don't have money or time for it, it doesn't mean that you have an excuse not to exercise. You can also do it at home.
The principle is very easy. Working out at home can be done anytime, because you don't need to spend your time on driving to the gym. But then you will ask how you can do it if you don't have any equipment at home?- Well, the answer is very easy, you don't need any equipment to bring that heart rate up, just move your own body. ( More info in the next post). There are many exercises where you don't need to use anything. Of course later on, if you can afford it, you could buy a couple of weights and a stability ball, which is not expensive, but very useful.
Another alternative is DVD workouts. And yes, they are very effective. If you choose to workout at home, it's very good to have couple of DVD workouts, just to change it up a little bit. When you work with DVD, it's like having a personal trainer to guide you thru. But you need to have a great self-discipline and not to cheat by pausing the video. Be strong and go all the way.
Personally, I think that Jillian Michaels has great DVD workouts, I would definitely recommend those. If you commit, you will see the result %100.
But one thing for sure, if you workout, but don't watch what you are putting in your body, then nothing will change. More Diet info in the next post.
