Home Workout vs Gym

Home Workout Vs. Gym

Do you really need a gym to get a great workout?

Millions of people have great success with home workouts while others not so much. Lets discuss some most important things you can do to get the most beneficial results.

1. Why?
What's your purpose in working out? Are all your friends doing it or do you really want to be in shape? Are you afraid to look in the mirror or are you trying to flaunt your body in a bikini at the beach?

Whatever the reason... It's important that you remember you can always do WHATEVER you set your mind to. If you want to lose 60 pounds that is totally doable as long as you can always see your future self.

2. Structure
How structured are you? If you want to lose 20 pounds by the end of the month then what is your plan for that? Are you going to do 100 pushups every day or are you going to do a different structured HIIT workout everyday? Are you planning to do the same workout every day or do you have a structured workout for a 30 day period?

3. Enjoyment
Do you enjoy working out or do you dread it? It's important to find a workout you LOVE doing. Even if you've always hated working out in the past that doesn't mean there isn't something you won't enjoy doing... You just need to find it. This is where some time with a personal trainer is really beneficial. If you look forward to your workout each day you'll be much more likely to be consistent and succeed. Even if you don't enjoy working out, you'll almost always feel much better afterwards and eventually begin to love it.

4. Organization & Space
When & where are you going to workout at? Is it in your living room... your bedroom... your kitchen? It doesn't matter but it's important you designate a space for that and have easy access to beginning your workout. Also it's important to have a set time you workout each day to help you create consistency. As you continue to have consistency you'll find the process becomes more enjoyable and easier to do each day until you love it.

Ep. #141 Confidence is Proof of Passed Succes...

In this episode, I talked about confidence, how people see us, and how that affects our growth in both life and business. I shared personal stories, from watching Wednesday with my kids, to getting compliments about my hair, to playing tennis and realizing I was better than I gave myself credit for. The main lesson was that when we accept compliments and believe in ourselves, we show up with more confidence, and that changes how others see us too.

Ep. #140 Stop Getting Sold to and Do This Ins...

In this episode, I talk about the common feeling of “everyone’s trying to sell me something” and how to avoid wasting time or money on the wrong solutions. I share my own experiences of jumping into offers too quickly, thinking they were signs, only to regret it later. The key lesson is that if I’m actively solving my own problems, I can spot whether an opportunity truly supports my goals or is just a distraction. I explain the Accountability Code, which starts with reflection, humility, and planning, so I can decide what fits my long-term vision before committing.

In this episode, I talked about BNI (Business Networking International) and how it helped me grow my business. I first discovered it when a friend invited me to her presentation and I found out it was a structured weekly meeting where local business owners share referrals, learn together, and hold each other accountable. I explained their core values like “Givers Gain” and accountability, and how being around serious, supportive people gave me motivation and a sense of community.

In this episode of Your Loving Kick in the Pants, I shared a story from my book Becoming Boss Minded about how to write copy that actually converts. Even if writing isn’t your main focus, I explained why learning how to guide people’s decisions is so powerful. We talked about how stepping just a little outside your comfort zone, what I call “finding the edge”, is the key to getting results, whether you’re selling, persuading, or just asking people to take action.

CHALLENGE TESTIMONIALS

Jessica

With just a 2 pound weight difference after 4 weeks, Jessica was estatic about her progress because look at the difference! She learned how to eat better, release stress, and gain confidence in not just her looks but her abilities too!

Erin

Having babies takes a toll on our bodies that’s for sure. With the Body Sculpting Challenge, you’ll learn how to properly engage your core with EVERY SINGLE EXERCISE you do. You’ll have a tighter, more toned core after just 4 weeks.

Jessica W.

Jessica surprised our whole community with her quick transformation. Due to health limitations she wasn’t able to exercise so she solely focused on her nutrition and guess what? She allowed herself to be the boss! She learned just how powerful our food is!

G. A.

A busy homeschooling mom of 6 exercised smarter, not harder (or longer or even everyday either). She followed my direction to exercise with a plan so her entire body could benefit. No more staring at a busy gym and wondering what to do!

Stephanie

Would you believe her "2017" picture was at 4 years post-partum with her 2nd baby and her “2019” picture was just 9 months post-partum with her 3rd baby? Steph is the perfect example of what a Fun and Sustainable lifestyle looks like. Learn the habit hacks that will work for you over and over no matter what life throws at you.

ME (Marci)

My own transformation has been mostly mental. Sadly I tried so many diets out there only to find that my mind was not in the right place so the physical results never really mattered. Once I learned how to really connect my mind and body I realized that living a fun and sustainable lifestyle trumps what you look like. You can love yourself NO MATTER WHAT!

Jessica

Each person holds their weight differently but no matter what you’ve been born with you can find a way to make your nutrition and movement work for you!

Liz

Nothing makes a transformation look more amazing than confidence! Abs don’t hurt but the coolest part about Liz’s story is that she’s able to keep up with her busy lifestyle as a teacher and mother. Not only does she handle it well she knows without a doubt how dang good she looks!
