3. Focus on the positive. Avoid looking at your exercise program as a way to fix something that's wrong
with your body. Instead focus on your successes. Congratulate yourself after each workout. Thrive on the
energy that exercising gives you.
4. Develop a constructive attitude. Do not focus on what you are giving up to exercise on a regular basis,
but on what new options you'll have after you become fit.
5. Engage your body and mind. Connect on a deeper level, you'll be more likely to stay with your routine. If
your exercise time on a stationary bike is your 30-minutes away from work or a time for reflection, you're
much more likely to stick with it. Individuals claim to experience an increased sense of creativity and an
enhanced thought process due to a regular exercise program.
6. Consider many of the physiological benefits. If a strong and fit body isn't enough to keep you motivated,
consider some of the hidden benefits of exercise: lower blood pressure, stronger heart, more efficient
pulmonary system, lower risk of osteoporosis and stress reduction.
It's Never Too Late . . . for Fitness
Most of us have very busy schedules and to keep our fitness level intact we have to be extremely
efficient. These three words, efficiency of effort, form the core of creating your own home fitness center.
Efficiency of effort means producing maximum gains with minimal time spent; this is the goal of most of us
when designing our home fitness program.
The bottom line is you must be creative and innovative to get the best results. With this book and your
own creativity a great workout is only a few moments away; a different grip on the multi-gym, a varied
stepping rhythm on the stepper, a new intensity on the stationary wind-load simulator or a more rapid stroke
rate on the rower. By varying your workouts you'll create maximum gains in the shortest time frames.
As you will see, your home fitness equipment will allow you to reach your fitness goals and prepare
properly for a healthier lifestyle. Anyone who is serious about fitness – or for that matter just improving
their overall fitness – should have a few basic pieces of home fitness equipment. It makes no difference if
you are a competitive cyclist or triathlete, an executive or someone trying to tone their muscles, the home
fitness center is the most efficient way to help you reach your physical potential.
