So is working out at home better than the gym?

Question

I want to work out at the gym but my boyfriend says it cost too much and it'll be better doing it at home. My BMI is 41.2 and I don't know where I should be to TTC. I think my weight does have a impact on me. What are ways to start at least? I'm dying for details.

Answer

I went to gmc and bought small equipment a stepper, jump rope, resistance bands. Wrote down a "workout" routine and made it happen. I also bought a $40.00 bike at Walmart and started biking. I lost 60 lbs last summer and conceived my baby last December after TTC for 4+ years. My starting weight was 286 I'm 5'7 not sure what my BMI was. I also used apps like my fitness pal to count calories. Hope this helps 😉

Answer

The gym is better! At home, you have chores, a tv, your couch. Its so easy to skip a workout at home.

Answer

I always cheat on my at-home workouts. The best thing for me is group classes at the gym. I feed off other people's energy and also don't want people to think I'm lazy. But at home, my cat seems to encourage me to get back on the couch..

Answer

I found for me I needed the motivation of being at the community centre gym to actually work out. I tried to do it at home and I just didn't do it lol.

Answer

I have a gym membership. I've gone once. I really only got the membership last month. Lol. I usually do at home workouts though. I lost 80 lbs that way in the last 13 months. I have different ones so I don't get bored. I have a fitness mat, yoga mat, Dumbbells, and a resistance band.

Answer

I work out at home. I bought a mat to lay on for exercise videos, a treadmill and also have an elliptical  ( which I hate). Every morning after I get my daughter on the bus for school, I change into my workout clothes and go downstairs and exercise. Don't get me wrong alot of times I try and talk myself out of it but I know how much better I feel after I've done it and I push through. I usually exercise for an hour a day sometimes more depending on my mood. I'm down almost 30 pounds in 3 months. I still eat what I like so I don't have to starve myself. I've tried the gym and felt like everyone around me was staring. It's hard to feel good about yourself when your bigger and everyone at the gym is a toothpick. (Just my opinion) so for me the comfort of my own home worked best. Good luck to you!! You can do it. :-)

Answer

If you are motivated being at a gym, then go for it! Some people get complacent with at home work outs, some people pay for the gym membership and never use it. Everyone is different and you need to find what motivates and works for you. The only thing I liked about the gym were the free classes, like yoga and kickboxing. 
Right now I don't have a gym membership. I hike ride my bicycle and do some home exercises. Me and my coworkers have Fitbits and we compete to see who gets the most steps. It's a fun way to just be more active, and a little competition doesn't hurt 😋

Answer

Like others said, wherever your motivated and will stick to it.

Gyms cost more but depending which ones offer a lot more too. I loved classes at first then got into lifting.

Now with a baby due in October i will focus on my diet 95% and getting exercise in the last 5%.

You can not workout a bad diet. Diet is most important for weight loss.

Answer

Wherever you feel more motivated. Like I feel more motivated when I'm at the gym.

Answer

Better is wherever you are more likely to remain motivated. For some people it's at home, for others it's a gym.
