Everyone seems to have an idea that if they do not have a gym membership, they will not be able to obtain their fitness goals, and that is not necessarily true. As I mentioned before, motivation is key and we are driven enough to obtain our goals we can do it without an additional monthly bill. I know this because I have friends who have lost their jobs in the past few years due to the economy and they still remained in shape without having to join a gym or pay for classes.
So let's face it, not everyone can afford a gym membership or simply do not like the ambiance of a gym; therefore, we can make the choice to workout at home. I mean it is as effective as using machines, we just need a good DVD, a towel, a good pair of sneakers and a small space within our home to get an awesome workout. The good thing about a gym membership is that it motivates us as we watch other people workout and we see how good they look, us humans sadly motivate ourselves by competition. Yes, it is part of our nature! But that doesn't mean that we can't motivate ourselves with magazines, websites, and youtube videos (all free).
Adding a good pair of dumbbells to your home workout can make a huge difference in the amount of calories that you will burn and the results will be much faster. Many women are afraid of weight training because they think that they will become muscular and lose their femininity curves, well it would only happen after years of HEAVY weight training and supplements, along with a bodybuilding diet. But if you just add weights to your workout, all you will do is burn more fat faster and tone up at the same time. Who wouldn't want to do that?
I personally have a set of 3 lbs, 5lbs, 12lbs, and 30lbs for my Leg days. I get my workout routines from the oxygen magazine which by they way, if you return your magazine after you read it they will refund you a 100% of the money plus $5 for shipping. So there you go, you might not be the "Gym" type of person and you can still get a good workout and lose weight.
I personally had a gym membership until I gave birth to our son, but I have decided to stay home with him because I do not feel comfortable leaving him at a gym daycare yet, so I have lost my 73 lbs while at home with DVDs, dumbbells, and clean eating! so I can attest to this post myself!
Hope you are staying strong to clean eating today and find 1 hour to a quick workout that will get you started to make a difference in your life!
