Things to consider as you choose

In order to be successful with your Home Workout Program,
you should:
1) First and foremost- determine
what you want to accomplish:
Your Goals.
Lose weight/inches-Get Fit/healthier- To ne up/sculpt-Get off
meds- etc…
Once you have determined your main Goal, make it personal.
Ask yourself.
What would it feel like to: (this is important to give yourself a
visual picture of what you want in order to stay committed to
your goal)
“Success is the outcome of thinking, visualizing,
planning and taking action” author unknown
Look younger? Have others comment, says you look great or
you’ve lost weight!
Fit into a smaller size? Wear some of those clothes that have
been just hanging in your closet for years, or be forced to buy
some new clothes because the old ones are too big.
Have a more active lifestyle? Join a recreational sports team,
play and keep up with kids/grandkids or join a 5K for charity.
Have your Doctor take you off a med?
Be an example/inspiration to others?
2) What’s your style? What type of
workout do you prefer

will increase your chances of success. Your will be more likely
to stick with it if you enjoy it.

3) Be willing to invest in yourself!
“investing in yourself is the best
investment you will ever make. it
will not only improve your life, it will
improve the lives of all those around
you.” ,
By this I don’t mean that you have to spend a lot of money,
but don’t pick a program by it’s price. If the program you think
you will stick with and enjoy, cost a little more, look at it as an
investment in yourself.
After all you’re worth it and sticking to a home workout
program most likely will save you money in the long run, just
think of how much a doctor visit cost! Not to mention the value
of an increase in quality of life!
4) Commit to workout with your
chosen program for at least 90
days!
This is where most of us fail. We start looking for results
too soon. Realize that the shape you’re in now may be the
result of years or decades of neglect. To expect an overnight
turnaround is usually unrealistic, however from the day you
start your journey, your body is adjusting and preparing for
better health. These adjustments usually come with some level
of discomfort. In fact if you are feeling no aches or pains,
you might need to step it up or chose another program that
challenges your body. Just remember that the aches and pains
should be limited to muscle not to joints or tendons. Consult
your physician if you feel you have an injury.
5)Look for programs from Trainers
that are Nationally recognized as
Fitness leaders!
Some of these are:
• Tony Horton*
• Chalene Johnson*
• Shaun T*
• Jillian Michaels
• Les Mills*
• Debbie Siebers*
• Billy Blanks
• Leandro Carvalho*
• Donna Richardson Joyner*
* These trainer’s programs are available through a common
company offering multiple home workout programs including
these and various other trainers.
6) Demand that the program you
chose comes not only with DVD’s,
but with a complete fitness plan.
representative example of a Home Workout Program that
includes: workout DVD’s- program guide-nutritional guide as
well as some equipment.
( including a step by step program guide and a nutritional
guide )
Having supporting information will make the Program easier
to follow as well as more valuable to you as you work through
it. Another aspect that should be included with all programs
is support. Not just customer/tech support but support from
the creators of the programs or other individuals who have a
working knowledge of the program and are available to answer
your questions and concerns.
With the access to the internet that we enjoy these days, the
better programs offer large amounts of information, support
and encouragement online. Some offer customized meal plans,
access to chat and message boards, online videos, workout
tracking and even a virtual coach to work with. (virtual coaches
are supportive individuals on a similar journey that have
used and have access to specific information and training.
They are assigned to purchasers of the programs to offer
support,encouragement and accountability, using email and
other social media tools such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter,
Youtube and so forth to communicate with clients.)

7) Look for Satisfaction
Guarantees:
Just in case you order a program that does not deliver what
you expected or the product has a defective DVD, top providers
of home workout programs usually offer 30 day satisfaction
guarantees on their programs and other items they sell.
(supplements, equipment, health snacks and protein shakes,
etc..)
Bottom line, choosing the right Home
Workout program is all about you, your
goals, your style, your commitment level
and your journey to a Healthier you!
