A gym membership can be a major asset to anyone working towards their fitness goals or maintaining a fit and healthy lifestyle . An environment that is totally focused around fitness and training . I personally love it and can ’ t get enough , but not everyone feels that way or even has the luxury of attending a gym even if they wanted to .

These are the top three reasons for people not attending a gym :

1 . No money for a monthly membership fee 2 . Intimidated by the gym environment 3 . No time for the gym or distance is too great to travel

If you can relate to any one of the reasons , I have great news for you . You don ’ t need a gym membership to shed body fat and get in great shape ! Don ’ t let these reasons turn into excuses for you to not make exercise a part of your lifestyle . With a little creativity , mixed with some motivation and a couple of simple at home workout tools , you can be well on your way to the fit physique of your dreams .

Millions of Americans possess gym membership , but the percentage of people that actually utilize the gym on a regular basis is minimal . It is amazing how many people are dishing out monthly fees to a facility that they don ’ t even set foot in ! In fact approximately 40-50 % of people who sign up for gym memberships stop using them within 90 days . Unfortunately just paying for a membership is not going to get you in shape . If you are not a “ gym rat ” an NGN fitness routine – No Gym Necessary - is just the ticket for you to get on track .

The first step to your success on an NGN fitness plan work is to commit to exercising on a regular basis . Distractions are abundant when you are trying to work out at home , so it ’ s important to schedule this in as a part of your day and make it a priority .

Look around your home and find a spot that can be your workout area . This doesn ’ t have to be a large space , just a spot that you can make your own .
