You'll have more success with your fitness goals if you keep it simple.
- Don't rely on having to drive to a gym or health club to get in your workout. Train at home. You won't have the excuse that you didn't bring your clothes, or someone was using your favorite cardio machine, or all the other excuses.
- Find a program that will only take you 20-30 minutes a day. Realistically most of us can only devote a short amount of time, so don't set yourself up for failure in trying to budget 60 minutes a day...it may never happen.
- Buy the basic pieces of fitness equipment and learn how to use them properly. Some of my favorites are:
My last word of advice is to use your bodyweight for many of your exercises. You'll be able to do lunges, push-ups, squats, and many other bodyweight exercises and be in great shape, plus you can do these exercises anywhere.
No excuses, and keep it simple...will get the job done.
