This weeks workouts

This week is all about control. You don't need a lot of equipment to lose weight nor to increase your fitness levels. This week is split between no weights and heavy dumbbells. Even if you don't belong to a gym you can get an effective workout at home....Why does working out at home sometimes not work for people? Well, this is because of distractions. At the gym you go to workout, there's not much else to do there once you walk in the front door. At home there's cleaning, phones, computer, family, friends, etc...there's distractions bursting out of the walls. If you can be disciplined enough to ignore the phone, and to not see the comfy couch as a means of relaxation, then you'll succeed. So, it's totally do-able, it's just harder to maintain a good schedule.

As with any other part of implementing a life change, it's all about making the DECISION and STICKING with it. Shut off the phone and TV, purchase equipment and set up an exercise area (and don't use it to hand laundry off of!) Be economical. Don't buy a bunch of equipment you'll never use. As this weeks workout show, you don't need much. Be smart. The better the equipment you have the more likely you'll be to use it!

Here's This Weeks Workout.
