Gym VS. Working out @ Home


Question Posted Tuesday December 30 2008, 10:20 pm

I work a 9-5 job and are in the freeway for about 2 hours coming home and don't know what to do to keep in shape. I work in an office and therefore I don't do much exercise. I was thinking of going to the gym but the only two gyms really close to my house are three:

Women's gym : a bit smaller then others but has dancing classes
24 Hours: it gets really full of people in the evenings
LA Fitness: about 5 miles away in the fwy and it has various locations

What would you suggest I do?? I have a treadmill at home but maybey the gym will distract me from the routine (working & going home)

Thanks 4 your help

I once invested hundreds of dollars converting my garage into a personal gym complete with olympic weight bench, tricep bench, and mirrors on the wall.
Annnnd... never used it.

Personally I need to work out in a place that isn't home. I don't like my couch being only a few feet away from me in another room. I want to approach it like a job, that way I know I have to do it everyday, and in the end, that's the key to a succesful program

You can get the chance to go and buy some other fitness equipment so that you can sort of have your own personal gym while at home. Getting exercise videos would help too, usually they're about
30 minutes-an hour long, depending on the pace of the instructor. But yeah, it's up to you. You can switch from the gym to your home and vice verse.
If you'd like, you can jog around the neighborhood because it can also distract you from your daily routine from work to home since you can change directions from a few places.

Hole this helped you! =3

its pretty much 50/50. at home you can use things laying around for weights (eg. heavey soup cans) its free to workout at home versus a gym, there's dance videos you can buy for a very low price and that can help you save gas. you only need 30-60 minutes of exercise a day and without the drive time you'd have more of your 2 hour free time.
but honestly, its totally up to you. its a pretty even split minus the machinery.
