Losing weight at home is a real alternative to a gym subscription. I personally adopted this strategy as my own way to healthy weight loss after some months spent in the gym, and you certainly can do the same. So that you can understand better how you can do it too, here is a list of the main pros and cons of losing weight at home.
Pro: Financial benefits
Mainly, losing weight at home is cheaper than the gym. Nowadays, a gym subscription can have a strong impact on your finnances, and you need to pay for it each and every month, even when you're on a work trip and you don't attend the gym. Freeing you from this monthly payment can do nothing else than good to your family finances.
On the other side, you'll need some equipment to exercise at home, but you can be convinced they will cost you no more than one monthly payment to the gym.
In any case, you gain about 11 monthly payments on the first year and you can still be losing weight.
Pro: Time benefits
You save time. You don't need to go to the gym, which can be on the other side of the town, and back home. Would you rather be stuck among cars and trucks on your way to the gym or having your workout in the comfort of your own room? I don't know about you but to me, this is a no brain question. Losing weight at home is one of the most easy things you can do.
Pro: Timetables benefits
You don't need to follow the gym timetables: you can do your workout when you want. For instance, I love to exercise in the early morning, because it sets my body and mind on the run for the whole day. Other people instead love to exercise in the evening. When you do your exercises at home, you don't need to wait for the gym to open or to rush before closure. You can take your time and relax while getting fitin shape.
Cons: Social Connections
In the gym you can find new friends and share everyday stories as well as weight loss knowledge and weight loss plans. You can even discuss about the weight lost. At home, you cannot do this. If you don't have any friend and the gym is the only way for you to make friends, probably you should stick to it. Sharing experiences is one of the best ways to improve oneself.
Cons: Workout Planning
When you get in the gym, you are usually assigned to a trainer who gives you an exercise plan. At home, you are your own trainer and iand it's you who to set up your training schedule and weight loss plan. Thus, you need to know what to do, you need the right tool and resources, or you could even get injured. If you don't have the right knowledge, maybe the gym will be better for you. By the way, there are tons of online information product that can help you to reach your healthy weight loss goal.
Cons: Space Availability
At home, you need a bit of space to do your workout without bothering who's living with you. For instance, you cannot make your jump-rope workout in the same room where your wife is sleeping, or losing weight at home will become your best enemy. On the other hand, you don't need an entire spare room fully dedicated to your home made gym. There are pieces of equipment you can use to set up a full weight loss workout that require a small space to recover and make your losing weight doable and easy.
