At-Home Workouts for Busy Adults and Parents

The definitive answer is yes! The biggest advantages of working out at home gym is that you can exercise whenever you want and not just when the gym is open. Providing you are prepared to put a little time and effort into your workout at home, it can be just as effective (if not more) as a gym workout.

For some, the prospect of going into a gym is daunting and therefore exercising in the comfort of their own home is much more appealing. For others, the challenge of working out at home is that they don't see others working out and find it hard to find the motivation to get their workout done.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

It is important to will out when you will workout. The schedule, of course, can be changed but it is best to get it on a schedule and commit to it. Scheduling your workouts significantly reduces your decision fatigue and establishes a fitness lifestyle habit. Routine is the enemy in workouts - but not necessarily your schedule!

A good workout routine at home includes 4-5 days of training per week. Quality at-home workouts should include constantly varied, full body workouts, performed at various levels of intensity. Home workouts should be based on functional movements, and these movements reflect the best aspects of bodyweight exercises, dumbbell exercises (or kettlebell workouts), running and more. They should include a warm up, a specific and measurable workout, and an appropriate cool down.

To make life much easier - it is recommended that you follow a full body workout program that is in line with your goals.

Step 1: Find the most effective fitness program for your unique weight loss, muscle tone, and health goals. 

Step 2: Keep it simple. You don't need a full home gym. Rather - you can follow plans that include bodyweight exercises or home workout plans (with minimal equipment). 

Step 3: Follow A Meal Plan. We all know that weight loss and fitness start in the kitchen.

Step 4: Hire a fitness coach. A coach can help you create a plan that is just right for you. You don't have to do it alone - in fact, it's more fun with a coach!

It takes just minutes!

You simply need a small space, some comfortable workout clothes, and a home workout program.

A good program will tell you everything you need to know to get started working out, including which exercises to do and how to do them, how to make them harder and how to scale them back, what to eat, and what kind of equipment is worth investing in.

A full body workout program will help you improve the way you move, look and feel without ever needing to got to the gym.
