There is a population in this world of people who prefer to workout in solitude. We enjoy being able to wear what we want, smell how we want, and make whatever faces necessary while getting fit. We differ from those that go to the gym in that we have found a way to stay fit without a monthly membership and without an outside source. You could call us fitness independents, content to work out alone and in the comfort of our own homes. It’s here where our at home exercises give us bodies of steel, worthy of envy.
At home exercises have come a long way from the calisthenics of our mothers and the Jane Fonda workouts from decades ago. While body maintenance is fine, at home exercises today make a chiseled physique possible. Now, we fitness independents can realize huge fitness potential without a personal trainer and without even leaving the house.
Unlike our gym going, membership fee paying counterparts, we push through workouts even when no one is watching. We are accountable only to ourselves, choosing a tough fitness road of self mastery and personal motivation. Even when we could quit early and no one would be the wiser, we push through because we know the feeling of accomplishment is even greater when we have overcome a little self resistance.
While some people enjoy the singles scene that seems to permeate many gyms or the shared sweat covered machines, we are content to challenge ourselves and take fitness very seriously. I am not saying this to talk poorly of those who go to the gym with serious goals and determination, merely to point out the differences in the gym goers and the at home independent fitness warriors.
