My Approach
If you have even a small space to move around in, you are out of excuses to not incorporate some movement into your life. I think we get caught up in the complexity of reps and sets and frequency of detailed programs, and while these facets of fitness programming are certainly pieces of a well-rounded exercise prescription, the old something is better than nothing adage fits well here. As a personal trainer for 8 years and counting, far and away the greatest resistance I have seen with clients has been their intimidation of a weight room – and I get it. Sitting in the middle of a noisy gym with a bunch of half-clothed sweaty people, grunting meat-heads, and CrossFit weights being tossed and dropped everywhere while you and I are trying to navigate the mechanics of a push-up is daunting. This is the beauty of working out from home for those wishing to dive into a fitness program. You have the comfort of your judgement-free home, and your #1 fan in me.
Have you had a gym membership before and the thought of driving there, parking, checking in, getting your locker, and finally working out 30 minutes later has totally zapped your motivation? This is another perk of having at least a few pieces of diverse equipment outfitted in your own home gym. Even if your lack of motivation negated 1 workout per week from making it to the gym – that is 52 workouts per year missed out just because the thought of that 30-minute pre-gym got in your head! Moreover, let us say you burn 500 calories per workout, 500 calories*52 weeks equals 26,00 calories, or almost 8 pounds a year just by skipping that 1 workout per week. I would take an 8-pound weight loss, wouldn’t you?
