Recently I was working out how much money I actually spend on my gym membership for both me and my wife and I was astonished at the cost. Over the last couple of years I’ve spent over 00 on gym memberships! And then I realized that if we were members for 10 years that I would end up spending over 000, assuming that the price doesn’t increase!

Then I started to consider the ridiculous amount of time wasted driving to and from the gym every day. It takes us 20 minutes to drive to the gym and of course another 20 minutes to drive back. During that travel time of 40 minutes we could easily get a good workout in but instead we’re stuck in the car. And this inconvenient drive to the gym is regularly used as a reason not to work out. And of course there’s the gas we burn on the way there and back!

With all things considered it becomes clear that seemingly expensive home gym equipment like the Total Gym XLS is actually a really good deal. Consider this, if I spend 00 on the Total Gym XLS and I use for 10 full years then I’ve actually saved over ,000 compared to what I would have spent on a gym memembership for those 10 years!

With a home gym there are less excuses available for not working out which leads to reaching fitness goals much more quickly. I actually like to do my weight lifting with my Total Gym equipment and then do my cardio exercise with my Wii Fit game or simply taking a jog outside. And yes Wii Fit is really a lot of fun, I highly recommend it.

While I’m on the top of fitness I do want to mention that weight lifting and cardio exercise is not enough on it’s own if you are trying to lose weight fast. You should also start a diet program as well. I don’t believe in the idea of only dieting or only doing exercise, you really need to do both. And the diet that I recommend is called The Day Off Diet. I recommend it because it’s easy to follow and it’s also extremely effective.
