Reason number one: it's an excuse eliminator if you don't want to get out of the house or you're just feeling unmotivated to step out into the elements. This is an excellent alternative. Cut this one corner to make life easier for yourself.

Reason number two is very closely associated to number one. Take advantage of the privacy of your home workout. You don't have to worry about meat heads staring you down at the gym. Aside from that, you can push your insecurities aside. Go at your own pace, on your watch without the possibility of waiting in line for a machine.

Location location location, according to some plays a key role. Having workout equipment in your home can serve as a constant reminder to get your butt moving. Home workout equipment is actually not as costly as you think. Forget those Boflex commercials that urge you to make four installment payments of ninety nine ninety nine.

I found the treadmill that I have in my den online for under $200. It hasn't caused any problems...well only a few, but its from my skipping a week of not using it.

Lastly, you will eventually see and feel results. I can't stress enough how important it is to workout. It releases stressors from the day. Did you know that it can actually make you happy. When you workout, your body releases endorphins, which actually make you happy. A simple 30 minute walk each day can eliminate up to 280 calories too.
