Will Joining a Gym Help Your Health?

By Nate Rifkin

If you're having problems being consistent with your exercise, your environment might be the culprit.

Thing is, I'm usually against joining ANY gym since you can get in amazing shape without ever leaving your home. But for some people, staying home to get in shape can actually be an inconvenience.

Here are a couple reasons why:

1. Distractions from family. If something comes up with your spouse or your kids, it's hard to put them on hold so you can finish exercising.

2. Your television or computer can be much more tempting things to use than a yoga mat.

So if you find yourself having to deal with the above, check out a couple advantages to joining a gym and see if they appeal to you:

1. Working out at a gym makes you feel more obligated to finish your routine and build the health habit. Once you're there, you're now accountable to do what you came to do.

2. When you're at the gym you have greater focus. After all, there's nothing much else to do. When you're at home you can always find other obligations or chores.

If you find yourself agreeing with any of the above, then joining a gym to keep in shape might be for you. - 17274
