Gym or home workout?

[kelsey616]

Is the gym the most efficient and best place to exercise, or could you lose the same amount of weight/see similar results by working out at home?

it really depends on your level of discipline. personally I've found it takes more discipline to work out at home because really there is no commitment, it can always be done later.

the gym also has all kinds of options for a workout, so when it's time to change up your routine to avoid the plateau, it's much easier. you can still do this at home but it involves a little more research.

cost is a small factor, but you do save money on a home gym, even the most expensive set up will be cheaper in the long run and can be sold to make back some of your money.

the benefit of being able to have a workout buddy at the gym is good.

overall if you're very disciplined do it at home. if not, find a friend and get your ass to a gym.

It really depends on the exercise you're planning to do and the equipment required. If it's just running or cardio then yes you can probably do that at minimal expense outside the gym. If you're doing weight training beyond a simple set of dumbbells you're going to need considerable money and space to replicate that at home. For me it's no contest, gym all the way.

It depends on how motivated and dedicated you are.

I go to the gym 6 days a week , but I also exercise at home. I have a daily exercise routine.

If a person finds it difficult to motivate themeselves then it's best to go to a gym cos once they're at the gym the atmposphere can help to motivate and encourage them to continue.

If you're at home it's easy to put it off until later but then when later comes around you can't be bothered or you're too tired.

I prefer the gym though cos I have access to more machines than I do at home. I feel limited at home

If you want to burn fat, you need low intensity cardio. Really at home that is difficult, because it requires, running, biking, swimming, dancing, ... for long times. At home you can do high interval training with weights. Besides toning, they will also stimulate some fat burning.

If you can afford decent exercise equipment then a home workout should be just as good or even better than a gym workout. Gyms can be crowded, which means that the equipment you want to use might already be taken. In a home workout, nobody uses your equipment except you. So I think that a home workout is better.

If you're there for cardio yeah you don't need a gym at all. Muscle building you'll definitely need a gym. I did home workouts for over a year and then eventually went to the gym and the difference is huge. I'd never be able to get where I am at home.

Honestly it's not whether or not you go to a gym or workout from home it's what place has the better equipment, weights etc.

If you have the same weights and machines, equipment etc that a professional gym would have you'll get the same results. And at that point it's just what is more your preference?

I bought my own weight bench, dumb bells, and curl bar to use at home. I got up to my max bench of 450 pounds and max curl of 215. So I would say it works well and costs less IF you have the discipline to not get distracted by all of the other stuff you have at home (games, TV, movies, phone, etc.)
If you want to lose weight, you can get an exercise bike for at home if you have the room.

Losing weight is like 90% your diet. You don't need to work out at all to lose weight. Working out only adds maybe 10% more fat loss to what your diet does.

I have free weights, tread mill, machine weights at hime. Much better no waiting and I know its clean

[Iron_Man]

I have both but at home you have to self motivate yourself

[Halojohn]

For some re as people tend to workout more at the gym then at home do to the instructor

[douride2]

Personally I prefer to workout at home.

[kelsey616]

Because it's more comfortable? Do you have a like home gym? If not, what do you typically do and do you see a change in your physique?

[douride2]

I have a bike treadmill & some free weights.

[douride2]

As for change i'm just happy if I can keep it in check.

[kelsey616]

Right on.. and i live in an apartment and don't have room for equipment.. I'm thinking I'll just invest in a membership.

[douride2]

In that case I guess the gym is your only answer. Good luck.
