Is home exercise better than going to the gym?
I’m not sure how to address “Better” … but I would like to reframe your question in terms of advantages and drawbacks.Gym has several advantages:a good gym has more equipment options, wider range of weights, personnel availability, locker rooms, nutrition bar, possibly a pool.maintenance is done by othersinitial cost is lowliability is on someone elsesocializationability to get away from family / pets / spouses if time needed awaytreadmills and such are available out of the weatherGym has several drawbacks:usually a distance from homestrangers all aroundpublic restrooms and locker roomsschedule is limited to operating hoursdepending on arrangement, payment occurs even if not usedHome exercise has certain advantages (as you can tell are related to above):convenientyou can exercise in whatever clothing you please or nakedyou can access all home conveniences such as TVyou don’t have to shareyou can interrupt your workout to tend to an emergency and then returnyou can access food that has already been purchased without additional cost.you can exercise in privacyHome also has drawbackslimited to the equipment that you own. Depending on your goal this might be very limiting. Not everyone has a squat rack or a full range of dumbbell weights in half increments.no trainerno emergency personnelno professionals to ask questions ofno cleaning staffyour own equipment must be maintained by youno social motivation if others are neededThis is not an exhaustive list, but I think you get the picture. As you can see, I don’t know how to answer “better” but you will have to decide on your goals, and purpose of your fitness plan. Some other options are alternating or intermittent gym time, or meeting with a professional once per week. You have to know your own motivational ability and skill as well.Hope that helps answer your question.
Do you prefer working out at the gym, at home or outside?
I’d rather bike along a river trail or do floor work at home than dress down at a gym locker and share germs from gym equipment. I think gyms are weird because the gym is something unique for each person there, so there’s a full spectrum of vibes and influences there in one small space. I don’t necessarily want or need all that energy around me when I want to do my own thing in my own space. It’s nice to catch some inspiration from other fit bodies, but I would rather check myself out in my own mirror than be seen as superficial in front of a bunch of people. Maybe I could just “get over myself” and just check myself out in a public mirror anyway, but everything my body needs, it can acquire without equipment, and in more of a correct form, too. Floor work is subtle. That offers all the attention we need to correct posture. The subtle muscle growth allows us to hone in on exact points of development, and that brings us into correct alignment in our posture and muscle focus.Yeah, we can get ripped more so and quicker with equipment, but our bodies will pay the price, not just our savings account.I vote for home routines and outdoors exercises.Last week, my girlfriend and I trekked out to a local waterfall. Instead of taking the easy trail straight to it, we eventually discovered the waterfall from above. We decided to scramble down an entire hillside to get to the waterfall. That required our technical skills with our balance, footwork, and handholds. We worked up a sweat and then soaked in the water. The next day, our bodies felt incredible; worked, but incredible because we used our whole bodies and minds in that day of exercise and recreation. All in the same course of events. That’s more rewarding than stumbling about a circuit and did our bodies more of a workout than select machines.We’re teaming up to play with some acro yoga maneuvers. I could take up a gym membership to work my vegetarian quads pretty effectively, but then I could also just spend that money on us instead by prioritizing squats and other leg work at home or in a park.Besides, how many gyms even implement a quality water filtration system, especially for the showers?
Should I join a gym or workout at home?
I'm debating on whether or not I should join a gym or just workout at home. my local gym has a membership that is 24.99 a month. No contract. Free childcare and free tanning. I don't have a child and I don't do tanning beds so those don't really matter to me. Lol. Anyways, my boyfriend said he would buy me a treadmill and I already have a yoga mat, yoga ball, strengthening band things (not sure what they are called), and dumbbells. I like the idea of working out at home but I'm worried about doing too much cardio. The gym has a lot more strength training machines but since I need to lose over 50 pounds I probably should focus on cardio at first and then strength training towards the end so I can tone up.
What's more effective a gym or working out at home?
i would say a gym, it is easier to stop when tired at home. in a gym you feel like you should carry on
Should I workout at home after gym?
I don't think so, because your body only can spend a certain amount of energy. If you only do workout in gym and also in home that will make you tired and shrunken your will power to do exercises daily.It also depends on your gym also, if you spent a quality time in gym and do exercises with whole of your potential then I don't think you needs to workout at home after that.But there is a exception, if you are a sports person then you must do exercises at your home, gym, stadium or wherever you practice. A sport person needs to do that for building much stamina and muscles for better performance in it's sport.Only doing workout will provide you nothing, you also need to maintain a good diet plan for this.

Rest is very Important part of your life style, so proper resting is very important for a good muscular body.If you found this helpful then don't forget to give a thumbs up below.
Do you workout at the gym or at home?
I think I qualify to answer this questionTo be honest I am a free bird one day you will find me in a class and on the other day I would be in my room with my yoga mat. So technically it depends on my mood, while a lot of people say that that gym tends to give you structure and get you in a better mind place. I beg to differ because at the end of the day it all depends on how dedicated or committed you are to your routine.I personally consider that my home gets me in to the zone that I need to perform my yoga, I am not conscious about my surroundings and sometimes I even light a few candles put my favorite music on before getting started with my yoga. My house gives me the liberty that I crave and need in gym, in gym all I hear is grunting and the redundant machine’s sound which gets on my nerves. In the gym, I am always in my head and can’t fully focus on my poses because I keep thinking that what if people are watching and laughing on a pose that I am not doing right. I keep waiting on for people to tell me that I am doing it all wrong. However in the comfortable confines of my home, I am at ease. I don’t need expensive gym memberships to be honest. I find it better at home all I need is to invest in a yoga mat which I can totally get on line from websites. There are a lot of website that would even give discounts on buying a mat like I have just come across this website that is about to launch and they have a yoga mat with bag deal. It is so reasonable that it is not even 10% of my gym membership. In short I just love working out at home
Is it bad to have a home gym or workout at home?
not at all. In fact, more and more people are starting to work out at home. It is so much more time efficient and nowadays there are thousands of workouts to choose from. I used to work out in gyms for many years, but soon discovered that it is a lot more fun to work out at home with workout DVDs. This way I could choose all my favourite instructors and workout styles and wouldn't have to work around the gym group fitness schedules. The same goes with strength training, you can achieve the same results with some free weights as with all those expensive machines in the gym. In fact, callisthenics body weight style exercises can get you a chiseled physique without using any equipment at all.I don't believe it is anti-social, in fact there are heaps of forums that dedicated to home fitness so if you want to get together with like minded people just find some buddies on a forum. Also, if you have any friends that want to do the same thing you can work out together in each other's homes. I have a youtube channel dedicated to at home workouts if you want to have a look at ideas for body weight exercises or those which use very little equipment.

Which is better to stay fit gym or self workout?
I used to have a membership of Gold’s Gym and it barely helped. Getting myself to go to the gym was my main struggle and every time I would miss, the money I spent on it would come to my brain. I always believed there was a better way to be healthy and fit you know. I’m personally not a fan of air conditioned sweat boxes where we are all artificially working our muscles.These days you have SO MANY apps and programs that help you get fit. Take “Insanity” by Shuan T for example, its a high intensity interval training home workout which you can actually get for free on torrent. (Hey! don’t judge, I’m on a student budget!) He changed my life! Results are real for sure! Google it :) He has many home workouts you can choose to follow according to your need. You can track your food intake through MyFitnessPal. Nike Training Center is also great for all types of workouts! (Some include weight training too if that’s your idea). I personally feel fitness can be made so much more organic and fun. Make treks a regular thing. Go for jogs and runs and track it on Nike Running Club or other apps and they all cost nothing honestly. and you don’t feel guilty of missing a day. And all of these apps make a program for you to follow so its always good to have a plan which I felt is hard to have when you just go to the gym everyday. Join yoga classes around your locality. (Yoga is simply excellent!)And this doesn’t mean you can’t go hardcore. Once you’ve done something like insanity, you’ll get an idea of what intense workouts do and how you can do it anywhere! Just put some music, go for a run, find a good spot and pump push ups and suicide drills and what not.Also try to understand fitness and nutrition instead of just going crazy with workouts and everything. Its a beautiful relationship with your body.Hope this helped! :)
