  1. Write Your Own Health and Fitness Blog

    Remind yourself everyday how important exercise through writing a blog. Often times, people like to put working out to the back of their mind and love to forget that it is there.

Hopefully, you will have too much pride to let yourself write down that you did nothing to better your health for several days in a row. Turn yourself into a trainer through creating your own fitness blog.

  3. Start Your Day the Right Way: Exercise & Healthy Breakfast

    Breakfast is believed by many to be the most important meal of the day. Breakfast lays your foundation for the day, therefore, without a healthy breakfast, it is difficult to be as mentally alert and physically ready as you would if you had eaten a solid breakfast. People lose focus and do not perform well when they are hungry and this is why making sure you eat healthy foods for breakfast, is so very important. Say bye bye to coffee and doughnuts and say hello to oatmeal. Fruit, protein shakes, egg-whites and yogurt are other healthy breakfast ideas. Oatmeal can help reduce blood-sugar levels and cholesterol. Eggs have protein and essential amino acids. Yogurt has protein and B vitamins. If you really want to perform at your best all day long, make sure you stay true to eating healthy meals in the morning, instead of sugar filled doughnuts and coffee.

  4. Used and Remanufactured Fitness Equipment

    People are often surprised when they find out the true price of their favorite treadmill or cross-trainer. Most of us expect the Precor EFX 546 we use at the gym to be around $1500 or $2000 dollars, therefore we are stunned to find out that a new Precor EFX 546 will cost approximately $6500, if we want one for our home. Due to the expensive nature of gym rated, health club quality fitness equipment, there is an immense market for used, refurbished, and "certified remanufactured" fitness equipment, for those who do not want to spend over five thousand dollars for a treadmill or elliptical trainer. From a financial standpoint, buying used fitness equipment is awesome. Precor, Life Fitness and other gym rated exercise equipment, drops significantly in price once it has been used. However, many times, these "used" pieces of fitness equipment are actually showroom or floor demo models, some of which have less than 5 hours worth of total usage. Make sure you do your homework when shopping f

  5. Create Competition When You Workout

    When using gym equipment at home, create competition among family members in order to maximize results. Tracking results from your workouts will really help everyone in the family set goals and try and out work one another. The same goes for gym members. For most of us, exercising with a friend brings out the best in us, because none of us want to look like wimps in front of people whom we respect. Having a workout partner prevents us from skipping days. It's a lot easier to be a no call, no show at the gym, if we don't have someone that's going to call us out on it. Get a friend to be your twin at the gym and it will optimize both of your fitness routines.

Consequences of not stretching out include torn and strained muscles, that can ache for days, weeks and even months!

  8. Exercising at Night - The Optimal Way

    When it is dark, cold and dangerous, running outdoors at night can be a bad idea. However, exercising in the comfort of your own home can be made easy through purchasing home fitness equipment. Eliminate the times that you feel like going for a long run or walk, but the conditions of night end up deterring you and you end up sitting at home in front of the TV eating a bowl of ice cream. There are only a couple times a day where we have the optimal amount of energy for exercising, do not let those times pass you up, because you do not want to take the necessary steps in order to get a good workout in.

Home exercise equipment such as treadmills, ellipticals, exercise bikes, stair climbers and home gyms, are necessary in order for you to take advantage of each and every time you are at home and have the urge to exercise!
