Surprising Reason Why You’re Not Seeing Results from Your Home Workouts

Working out at home can be a lot of fun. You have the choice of exercising in your pajamas, underwear, or even naked. You can do just one set of an exercise and call it a day, who cares? It’s not like your personal trainer is standing over you in your living room and screaming, “5 more reps!”

Listen, we’re not at all anti-gym. If you can find the time to drive to your local gym after a long day of work and commute, more power to you. But if you’re like the rest of us who simply don’t have the motivation to change into activewear and hit the gym every day, working out from home isn’t a bad alternative.

The benefit of exercising from home is that you can do it on your own terms

Life can get very hectic at times, which means that exercise can slip to the very end of your list of priorities. If you had to choose between grabbing lunch with friends and a brutal training session with an expensive PT, wouldn’t you rather choose the former?

The benefit of exercising from home is that you can do it on your own terms. Now home workouts may not be for those who’re training to be professional athletes or are hardcore fitness fanatics. But it definitely fits the needs of an average person like you and me who simply wants to tone up a bit and stay in shape.

For most people, the goal of exercising 4 to 5 times a week never really becomes a reality once they’ve paid for the gym membership. However, working out from home isn’t just convenient and time-saving, it also gives faster weight loss results, if you’re consistently following a good home workout plan.

What’s more, you don’t really need the fancy equipment you see at the gym to get amazing results. You can do a sweaty full-body workout with some basic essentials like a resistance band, a pair of dumbbells, and a mat. Who knew that workouts could be so easy?

Moreover, you can find some fantastic substitutes for exercises that you loved performing at the gym. For example, a bedsheet with a knot thrown over your bedroom door can act as a TRX for upper body and core workouts. Other household furniture like chairs and sofas can also be used as props to aid you in your workout routine.

If you’re not used to doing pushups on the floor, use a chair for an easier modification to build your upper body strength. Chairs are also great for single-leg lunges and tricep dips so make sure you have one in handy when working out at home.
