Not all of us see the need to pay for a gym membership or to deal with the commute of driving 10, 15 or even 20 minutes to the gym just to walk on a treadmill for as long as you took to commute to the gym. Suddenly, the allure of breaking a sweat at home seems like a much better option for beginners and fitness enthusiasts alike. Are home workouts actually effective, or is it better to get your gains in at the gym? We’ll take a look at both the benefits of working out at your own pace and the limitations in equipment and motivation. Suit up in your best workout gear and functional jewelry because we’ll be breaking down the pros and cons of home workouts.

Cons of Home Workouts While working out at home provides flexibility and customization, you may find that you really need access to diverse equipment and classes. You may need in-person and expert guidance from a trainer who can help you with your form and technique that you can’t get on your own at home. Not to mention, working out at the fitness studio or gym is a great excuse to accessorize with silicone rings. QALO has plenty of trendy sweat-proof and waterproof silicone rings to match your style and workout. Work Out at Home with the Best Silicone Rings 1. Limited Equipment — Even if you have a home gym with weights and a treadmill or elliptical machine, you may need more specialized equipment that wouldn’t all fit in your home. A limited amount of equipment at home can restrict the intensity and variety of your workouts. 2. Motivation Challenges — It can be hard to stay motivated when you’re working out at home. Your home life can be full of distractions like the work you have to finish and the laundry you need to put in the dryer. At the gym or studio, you may find that all those worries stay in the back of your mind since they’re out of sight, out of mind. 3. Less Accountability — Working out with an accountability partner at the gym, whether it’s a friend or a personal trainer, can help increase your chance of success. Whether that goal is to lose weight or gain muscle, the American Society of Training and Development found that you’re 65 percent more likely to meet a goal after committing to another person. Working out at home by yourself may result in slower progress and inconsistent exercise habits. While home workouts certainly offer cost savings and convenience, if you’re the kind of athlete who needs accountability and motivation, it may be worth it to go to the gym more often. You don’t have to just pick one or the other. There are plenty of ways to go about both working out at home and at the gym. You can pick three days you go to the gym and two you just do home workouts instead. Experiment until you find out what works best for you.

They’re sweat-proof for all those workout classes — and, not to mention, they’re waterproof too, so don’t be afraid to go for a swim in your home pool or at the gym pool.
