\nWorking out at home can be a great alternative to hitting the gym. It\u2019s pretty ideal, in fact. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n

10 reasons working out at home rocks
\nYour bathroom and kitchen are nearby \u2013 no waiting and no need for shower shoes.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to lock up your valuables while you\u2019re working out.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nobody around to make you feel self-conscious about how you look or how fit you are.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to worry about parking.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to take off your clothes in front of strangers.<\/p>\n

No need to rush to fill up your water bottle before your class starts.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need to pack a gym bag and remember to pick it up on your way out the door for work.<\/p>\n

You can hide out from too-hot, too-cold or too-rainy weather.<\/p>\n

You get to pick the playlist.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s free \u2013 or close to it.<\/p>\n

And you don\u2019t need expensive equipment. Patty Wood, a certified personal trainer at Personally Fit in New Hamburg, Ontario, says you can get an amazing, full-body workout just by using your own body weight, right at home. She says getting fit wasn\u2019t always easy for her, either.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was overweight and suffered from multiple running injuries,\u201d she recalls. \u201cIt was through my own process of self-guided research, advice from a past client and a heathier lifestyle that I got where I am today.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are a ton of simple ways to get moving at home. Here are some tips and tricks to help you find a home workout, stick to it and get the best results:<\/p>\n

1. Choose your at-home workout space
\nDesignate a corner in your home as your workout spot. You really only need a space the size of a yoga mat to have a bunch of options for an effective and efficient workout.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s best to not exercise in the same place you watch TV or eat. This will help you focus and stay committed to your workout without:<\/p>\n

thinking about the Netflix series you\u2019re watching,
\nturning on your work computer or
\nchecking your phone.

\n2. Put on your gym clothes
\nDress like you\u2019re actually going to the gym. You\u2019ll feel more like exercising when you\u2019re wearing athletic clothes.<\/p>\n

You might also find it helpful to put on your running shoes and do 15 minutes of house- or yard-work. It\u2019s a great way to warm up and get a little extra energy before beginning your workout.<\/p>\n

You may also want to invest in good, supportive running shoes. Taking care of your feet is extremely important. So do some research into what type of shoe you need to wear for your workout.<\/p>\n

Wood says it\u2019s also a good idea to reward yourself with new shoes or a new workout outfit once you reach a goal. That\u2019s if your budget allows, of course.<\/p>\n

3. Don\u2019t worry about gym equipment
\nYou likely don\u2019t need that much equipment, if any at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many body-weight exercises,\u201d says Wood. \u201cA few of my favourites are planking, body-weight squats and push-ups. These three exercises involve many different muscle groups at the same time. They allow you to burn calories and build muscles with fewer exercises. It\u2019s always important to have proper form to reduce the risk of injury. You can create your own circuit with these three exercises.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you do have basic equipment such as hand weights and a mat, you have numerous options. If you\u2019re going to use weights, it\u2019s a good idea to have two different sets so you can customize your workout.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have hand weights and you want to add extra resistance, try soup cans or water bottles. Some other equipment you might find beneficial include resistance bands or a foam roller. They can help you to stretch your muscles before a workout and pamper them afterwards.<\/p>\n

\n4. Use your devices to get new workouts
\nDon\u2019t think you can make up your own circuits? That\u2019s okay. There are lots of routines out there, especially through apps, and many are free.<\/p>\n

Try Fitplan: Gym & Home Workouts, GetFit: Home Workout & Fitness, or the Tone It Up app. They feature programs that guide you through daily workouts that you can do any place, any time \u2013 including at home. Most are free. Others have a free trial so you can see if you like them before committing to paying for them.<\/p>\n

If you have a smart speaker, you can also use it to guide you through a home workout. Alexa can pull up five-minute workouts for you if you want to get in a blast of exercise in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n

You can also try creating an energizing and free playlist on Spotify. Choose songs that pump you up, and occasionally swap out your playlist to keep things interesting.<\/p>\n

\n5. Set realistic fitness goals
\nStart slowly, trust your strength and treat your body well. You don\u2019t have to jump into it full-speed. Instead, commit to what you think is reasonable for your body and schedule what you can manage each week. Maybe three days a week will work to start. As you become more comfortable, start doing more.<\/p>\n

Have you been at home or working from home due to the recent COVID-19 situation? Then you might want to consider other ways to stay active when you\u2019re at from home. Try recording your times and reps and challenge yourself to improve them. Wood says this is a great way to keep track of your progress and encourage yourself to keep improving.<\/p>\n

Do your best not to make excuses. \u201cMake exercise part of your daily routine and schedule a workout time that works for you, whether you\u2019re a morning or night-time person,\u201d says Wood. Make it your own and do something you enjoy, and you should start to feel and see results.<\/p>\n
