One of the most common complaints that people make about not sticking to a fitness routine is that they just don't have the time to get to the gym. Frankly, that's just another excuse, since making the time to exercise is a challenge that is easily overcome with a little motivation.
Strength training at home is one of the simplest and most versatile workout routines that can be used to tone up and slim down. Not only is it easy to do with minimal equipment and even space, but as you start building lean muscle mass, it will also rev up your metabolism and cause you to get fitter faster.
How To Start Strength Training At Home
Your first step is really to make the commitment to your workout routine. Make yourself that promise that whether it is ten minutes or twenty minutes that you can spare out of your day, you will hold yourself to the workout and to getting in shape.
The second step is claiming your space. This could be the living room when no one else is home, or a part of your bedroom where you have set up your gear. Some strength training, like bodyweight routines can be done anywhere, even outside. While you are claiming your space you should also think about the exercises that you can combine.
Now you get to explore some routines. Do you want to try out resistance bands or maybe the kettlebell. Are you more comfortable with free weight of just your own body as a tool? It can be helpful to find a variety of combination moves that you can fit together.
Finally, you can follow a set routine from a trainer, or you can start butting your own exercises together. Make sure that you are challenging yourself with the resistance that you are setting, whether you are using equipment or bodyweight. Now, just get in there and start sweating.
