Why Going to gym is better than working out at home?

With the price of home gym equipments going down, more and more people prefer using them than going to gym. Besides being affordable and handy, they offer the benefit of working out in the privacy of our room, and at anytime of the day.

Wait a second! Did I say privacy?

It’s a proven fact that we perform better when being watched by others. Going to gym is therefore more rewarding that working out alone in home. Our brain is very sensitive to being watched; it affects our decision-making skills and our performance. In a positive context, it gathers motivation to affect desired changes.

While it’s good to have some simple exercise equipments at home, it’s definitely injudicious to cut off the gym membership. A good gymnasium offers a broad range of different types of exercise equipment like weight trainers, elliptical trainers, street striders, exercise machines, treadmills, and other gears to enhance the training effect of a particular workout regimen. This is not possible at home unless we’re prepared to spend a huge sum of money assembling them. Even if we do that, we won’t find expert advice of a trainer concerning our fitness goal.  Going to gym should be the first priority if we’re really concerned about reaching our fitness goals.

If going to gym is not viable due to some reasons,we can try to gather likeminded friends and work out together—the same psychological effect of being watched applies here. If that too is unfeasible, the last thing we can do is work out in a room with a big mirror where we can see your own reflection. Seriously, that helps!
