Do you want to start working out at home? It can come with more distractions than attending a one-hour class at the gym.

    1. Choose your at-home workout space\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Designate a corner in your home as your workout spot. You only need a space the size of a yoga mat.<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s best to not exercise in the same place you watch TV, relax, or eat. This will help you focus and stay committed to your workout. And help you resist your latest Netflix binge or checking your phone or work emails.<\/p>\n

    If you work from home, schedule 30 minutes on your calendar to exercise at lunch hour. Or before you start your workday if you\u2019re a morning person. If you prefer evening workouts, still schedule it on your phone or calendar. It\u2019ll help you stick to your\u00a0workout plan<\/a>\u00a0and help you feel dedicated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    2. Put on your gym clothes\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Dress like you\u2019re going to the gym. You\u2019ll feel more like exercising when you\u2019re wearing athletic clothes. If your closet feels far away, stock yourself with some workout clothes in a nearby washroom. That way, you can quickly change when it\u2019s time to exercise.<\/p>\n

    You might also find it helpful to put on your running shoes 15 minutes before you plan to workout. Do some dishes or pick up some toys with your shoes on. It\u2019s a great way to warm up and get a little extra energy before beginning your\u00a0workout<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    3. Don\u2019t worry about equipment\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

    You don\u2019t need that much equipment if any at all.<\/p>\n

    If you do have basic equipment such as hand weights and a mat, you\u2019ll have lots of options. You don\u2019t need to go into a fitness or sports store and break the bank. You can find inexpensive options online. If you\u2019re going to use weights, it\u2019s a good idea to have two different sets. That way, you can customize your workout and modify as needed.<\/p>\n

    If you don\u2019t have hand weights and you want to add extra resistance, try soup cans or water bottles. Some other equipment you might find beneficial include resistance bands or a foam roller. They can help you to stretch your muscles before a workout and pamper them afterwards.<\/p>\n

    Check with your HR department to see if they offer any benefit dollars to pay for equipment or shoes. Some workplaces offer employees an allowance for fitness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
