The last time that I got a gym membership, it did not work out. It was a pretty reputable gym, and they had some decent fitness exercise equipment, but I just could not convince myself to get over there regularly. Part of it was that I was self-conscious about my body and did not like to workout in front of other people, but that was not all of it.
I think that I just did not like to have to get up, head out, and go somewhere to workout. That is why I decided that the best thing to do was to buy myself some home gym equipment.
There are many different kinds of home fitness equipment,. I did not start out buying my gym equipment all at once. Instead, I though that the best thing to do was to keep it simple and basic. First I bought a set of hand weights, a jump-rope, and some gym pants to work out in. I thought that that would give me just enough to do a basic workout, and it turned out that I was right. I could get my heart rate up, have a little bit of strength training with my lifting, and feel like I was getting one step closer to being the trim, fit person that I had always wanted to be.
After a while, however, that gym equipment I had just wasn't enough anymore. I did enjoy the hand weights, but I wanted to get a better workout. The next thing that I thought was an elliptical machine. Soon after that, I got a Nautilus machine to do some more heavy-duty strength training. Once I got this gym equipment, it felt like my routine was really coming together. I have enough machines and exercises that I can vary it from day-to-day, and I can switch from elliptical to jump rope for the cardiovascular exercises. All in all, it feels pretty good.
Sometimes, it is still a little bit difficult for me to motivate myself to work out. You get home from work, you feel tired and lazy, and you just want to sit around in front of the TV. Knowing that the gym equipment is in your own house, however, makes things easier. You can exercise in your underwear if you want. You never have to get up and go anywhere to stay fit and look great. I look better than I have in years, and feel the same. - 15438
