Advantages of exercising at home
All of us who love exercise and fitness love the gym; it is, in fact, one of our favorite places. The problem is that going to the gym is often complicated these days or is not in your budget at the moment. Even if you are not going to the gym, I am sure that you do not want to give up your healthy habit of exercising daily and thus lose everything you have achieved.
In fact, exercising at home has several advantages that I want to share with you today… plus some free apps so that you can stay physically active and come out of quarantine with a spectacular body.
You organize your schedule better and save time: Even if you live close to the gym, it will still take you time to get there and back, pack your bag, get ready, etc. At home, all you have to do is put on the most comfortable clothes you have and sneakers, turn on the music and start, whenever you want and can, without excuses! You can use that time you gain to 1) exercise more, 2) spend it with your family or 3) dedicate it to a hobby or something that makes your life more enjoyable.
You enjoy more privacy: The truth is that sometimes we don't dare to do certain routines at the gym for fear of being seen and criticized. At home, you are surrounded by people you trust and you can try new exercises and perfect them in a completely private, safe and supportive environment. This can boost your self-esteem and confidence for when you can return to the gym in person!
You save money that you can invest in simple equipment for your home: The money you save on gym membership can be used to purchase simple equipment like dumbbells, resistance bands, yoga mats, balls, etc. that can be useful for your family as well. This is optional, as there are a variety of strength and resistance exercises you can do with just your body weight. Encourage your loved ones to join you to turn exercise into a fun family activity!
Now, you may need the advice of the personal trainers you find at the gym. Don't worry, there are some fantastic apps that will help you get the most out of your workout at home, and the best thing is that they are free. On YouTube, for example, there are many very good ones.
