If you think a gym (and the associated equipment) is the answer to you gaining muscle, losing fat, gaining health, or achieving athletic goals (or a combination of), then you are likely to be very disappointed from your membership. The reason is that going to the gym and doing the appropriate exercises does not automatically happen from having a membership!
Motivation, desire, and well formed habits are the key to you achieving your goals.
Home exercises are excellent if you have the aforementioned traits. The problem with exercising from home is that the same ‘gym’ mistakes are made. Making my point are the Ab Flexes, Home Gyms, and Swiss Balls gathering dust in garages around the world right now.
If you are interested in exercise from home then check out this exercise that I saw recently on Coach Dos‘ blog: a ‘Spiderman’ Push Up.
10 of those will be enough to push all but well trained individuals. For most building up to more than two will take time.
If you do find that version too difficult then try doing it without moving the starting point of your hands. If that is still too difficult then no need to raise your knee towards your elbow.
This is not to say don’t buy home exercise equipment. My point is that by doing exercises that require no equipment you can test yourself to see if exercising from home is really a good, sustainable option for you.
