There’s a plethora of home fitness workouts and products out there that claim they will help you trim up, shed unwanted pounds and look leaner, but are any of them worth it? Chances are you probably have been burned before after buying into a claim, and spending your hard earned money only to find out that it doesn’t live up to the promise.
Personally, I know how it feels to try out a new home exercise DVDs and receive little results from it. It doesn’t really do much for your motivation to see how hard you worked, and how little you got out of it. It’s like the story of those people that watch the weight loss T.V. show, “The Biggest Loser” while chowing down on ice cream. Those people are often so frustrated with their “inability” to lose weight that they just give up, and eat garbage. Many people feel that way after trying a fitness program and then failing to see the drastic results that they thought they would get.
In this article I will be talking about home exercise DVDs like P90x, and whether or not they are worth getting.
Can someone working out at home achieve excellent fitness just like someone working out at a gym? It goes without saying that the equipment found at a gym are going is expensive. Far too expensive, and space consuming for the average Joe to have in their house or apartment, which is why people pay a monthly fee for a gym membership to gain access to it.
The question is, is access to a gym any better than, say, P90x? The answer to that question will vary from person to person, but in reality, what it boils down to is this. A calorie burned is a calorie burned. Expensive gym equipment or not, it doesn’t matter if you burned that calorie using a stair stepper that cost a ton of money, or doing a yoga workout in your living room. Just as you can burn calories at a gym, you can also burn them at home. The same goes for building muscle, you can also do it at home, without expensive equipment.
You can absolutely get in amazing shape from your own home with a home exercise program. No expensive equipment is needed. Many workout programs utilize your own body weight or affordable (and space saving) resistance bands to provide resistance training. For cardio, some programs utilize dance, boxing, kickboxing, plyometrics, or Kenpo Karate to get your heart pumping. The best kind of home fitness program will include both resistance training and cardiovascular workouts.
P90x is the perfect example of an excellent home exercise program. It includes 12 workout DVDs and a nutrition guide that tells you what to eat. It is a 90 day program that once you complete, you will be amazed at your results.
Get fit in 90 days. Use these P90x results as motivation.
