The other day I started adding up the amount of money I spent on me and my wive’s gym membership and I was amazed at the amount it really costs. Over the last two years I’ve actually spent more than 00 on our gym memberships! I then realized that if we were members at the gym for a full decade that we would spend over 000 and that’s even if the price doesn’t go up which it likely will!
I then started to think about how much time we waste driving to and from the gym. The ride to and from the gym is 20 minutes each way. Instead of sitting in a car for those 40 minutes we should instead be spending that time doing something constructive. And of course this drive is often used as an excuse not to go work out. It’s also economically, and environmentally for that matter, important to consider the amount of gas spent on these trips to and from the gym!
With all things considered it becomes clear that seemingly expensive home gym equipment like the Total Gym XLS is actually a really good deal. For example if I spend 00 on it and use it for 10 years, I’ve actually saved ,500 in comparison to a gym membership and that’s not even considering all of the saved gas money!
And with a home gym I no longer have any excuse not to work out so that leads to more working out which of course leads to a higher fitness level. I actually like to do my weight lifting with my Total Gym equipment and then do my cardio exercise with my Wii Fit game or simply taking a jog outside. And yes the Wii Fit video game is really a lot of fun, I highly recommend it.
While I’m on the top of fitness I do want to mention that weight lifting and cardio exercise is not enough on it’s own if you are trying to lose weight fast. It’s a very good idea to begin a diet plan too. I don’t believe in the idea of only dieting or only doing exercise, you really need to do both. And the diet that I recommend is called The Day Off Diet. I recommend it because it’s easy to follow and it’s also extremely effective.
