When it comes to planning a regular workout at home, you can face many challenges, including your childrens' needs, the television, jobs around the house and disruptive telephone calls.
However, if you follow these 5 simple tips and ask your friends and family to support you, you can achieve success with your workout at home.
1.
Put your exercise in your diary.
If you are consistent with your exercise it will help to stop you from being distracted.
It also tells other people that your exercise time is precious to you.
Ensure everybody knows that this is your time, and don't let it be taken away from you.
Take the phone off the hook, ignore all emails and make sure that social events don't happen during your exercise time.
2.
Invest in exercise equipment to help keep you motivated.
If you are motivated by spending money, then perhaps spending it on on an elliptical trainer or treadmill will give you the motivation you need.
3.
Exercise with a friend.
Sometimes having somebody counting on you may be all you need to keep you motivated in working out at home.
Perhaps you could share the cost of the home gym equipment? 4.
They say that variety is the spice of life and the same can be said of exercise.
You might love running today, but you may not love it next week or next month.
To keep your body and mind interested, make sure you do two or three different home workouts every week so that your workout routine doesn't become monotonous.
5.
Test and try before you buy.
If you don't enjoy your workout at home regime, then you are almost bound to fail.
You can use a trial membership at your local gym to see what pieces of equipment you like before you commit to buying one for home.
Most gyms offer free trial memberships and you'll be able to talk to a personal trainer to discuss your training needs.
This will help to make sure that you start the right kind of exercises with the correct form before you try anything at home by yourself.
