Turn Your Living Room Into a Home Gym Without Spending a Fortune


Working out is one of my favorite ways to spend my time, but let's face it-gym memberships are expensive! Not to mention the amount of willpower it takes to actually get up and go to the gym in the first place. I shudder to think about getting up on cold mornings and going to the gym to work out before I open the doors to my practice. So that's why I recommend to anyone who likes their warm house much better than a cold car or a drafty gym that they turn their living room into a home gym.

You can spend thousands of dollars on gym equipment if you want, but you don't have to. A set of dumbbells, some hand weights, a jump rope and a couple of workout videos will do the job just fine. Try and go with a circuit workout, moving from one exercise to another without pausing in between. There are many trainers out there with this type of program-you might want to make them your first stop when you're shopping for exercise videos!

With a little practice (and a good eye for exactly where the light fixtures are) you can get the same workout in your living room that you can at the gym for a fraction of the price.
