Do it yourself at the gym vs Do it with guidance at home

Are you a gym buff, spending tons of time and money out there pumping iron? Do you read those health and fitness magazines, research the internet to find better and efficient ways to get that body you want? We all want to have that fabulous body, slim, cut and toned. A lot of people have recently turned to various at home workouts, because they are able to do them on their own time and cut the cost of gym fees. Some of these at home programs have really taken off.

While the conventional idea of being fit and active means having a gym membership and pounding a treadmill for a couple of hours, there are other, and often extremely successful options. Some of us have the will and ability to go to the gym and workout, but so many have no idea if what they are doing is going to get them the results desired. So often I see these guys at the gym, squatting, pressing, etc, with terrible form. Using bad form has a number of effects. The first one is the risk of injury they face. Hurting the back, knees, shoulders, etc, is very common and much more likely when you have not been trained to use good form. Secondly, bad form means that you are not working to your potential. With better form, you could be getting results far better than you would otherwise.

So it seems here that what is really lacking for most is the technical expertise that you would have from a personal trainer. But realistically, many cannot afford a personal trainer. For these people, a really tough, advanced home workout with the guidance of professionals is a great tool for your body. Behind the DVDs are a group of experts, not only personal trainers, who develop these programs. As I mentioned before, the P90X workout program is an advanced, twelve step program to physical success. One of the main tell-tale signs of a really good program is the longevity of it. Programs that claim success in less than a few weeks are usually scams. Out bodies and muscles take time to adapt drastically enough that you can see the results above the skin. What I mean by this is we are benefiting from every bit of physical activity we do, however the results are not obvious from looking in the mirror.
Getting guidance from a workout video which specializes in the improvement of your whole body is also a great thing. Individuals are often so focused on one small part of the body which they want to improve that they forget that the body works as a system. If you want to lose the fat on your belly, for example, 300 sit-ups a day won't make a difference. Of course, your abdominal muscles will have great endurance, and be very strong, but you won't lose that layer of fat on them. These workout videos will give you a huge boost in your understanding of what types of movements can benefit which body parts, and how. For this reason, it can be much more beneficial they you ever thought to get yourself some guidance and workout at home. www.eqlifestyles.com
