Lets face it when it comes time to purchase a new fitness workout everyone wants to make sure they get a good one. So what should you look for while choosing your home fitness workouts? While there can be many things to consider in making a decision in my opinion there are a few that stand out:
Does the workout meet your fitness level?
Will it meet or fulfill your fitness goals?
Can you fit the workout into your schedule?
Will it motivate you to continue to use it?
Does the workout meet your fitness level? If you purchase a workout that is either too difficult or too easy than you will probably not be consistent with it. In turn if you are not using it than you will not see any results.
If you are just beginning a fitness routine than make sure the workout has a trainer to follow at a beginners level. The exercises are usually preformed at an easier pace and if weights are used they are either very light or none at all. But as your fitness level increases than it is very easy to get more out of your workout by adding weights or increasing how much weight you use.
Will it meet or fulfill your fitness goals? What are the areas you want to focus on? If building muscle or toning them is what you hope to achieve than a routine that is mostly cardio won't give you those results. Using a routine that focuses on the use of weights or strength training is going to get you to your goal much faster.
Knowing what you want from your workout routine before you make that purchase will help you choose the one that suits your goals best.
Can you fit the workout into your schedule? Chances are you are going to have to find the time to complete your fitness activity through out the week. If most days you only have thirty minutes than a forty-five minute or hour long workout is not going to work well for you.
I have found that if I don't have the right fitness routine to fit into my schedule then more than likely I am going to do nothing at all. But luckily over the years I have added different workouts that I can do even if I don't have a lot of time. This alone has helped me stay on a regular fitness routine. I really can't use the excuse that I don't have enough time for a workout.
Will it motivate you to continue to use it? This has happened to me a couple of times. I have purchased a good workout routine but I did not like the trainer. They were trying to be so overly motivational that it was a turn off. Then there have been those routines that are just plain boring. Needless to say I rarely do either of these workouts.
