The last time I have ever been to a gym was about nearly a year ago. I enrolled myself in a fitness program offered by Slimmers World thinking that my uncontrollable appetite for food and innate laziness toward any form of physical activity will be cured. I so lacked the discipline that I looked up to having a trainer or simply someone who was flat serious about getting fit and all that.
I was introduced to a trainer who charted down my program – from the proper way of stretching, warming up on stationary bikes, toning down my muscles in five exercise equipment to finally hitting the treadmill. After 4 months of attending workout sessions thrice a week, I was perfectly fit and healthy minus a couple of pounds.
The cost of getting into such programs is a bit expensive compared to having your own gym equipment at home. If you really want to save up from entering pricey fitness programs, be creative and practical about it. You can always have your warm-up exercises, jog around the neighborhood or the nearest sports track, and buy a Precor elliptical for your cross-training cardiovascular exercises. It is an investment you can share to everyone in the house and use anytime that suits you without getting billed monthly.
Basically, all you need is discipline and everything else will follow.
