Do You Have Proper Home Training?

Home Training.

In a short definitive form it means to have manners at home or in the home of another.

In its activity definition form, it means to have a specific and effective workout regimen at home. We do not need a lot of equipment. So, it does warrant us to clutter our basements or closets (or cars for that matter). Basically, are we using our homes wisely?

Look around your house and see if you have the essentials for a good home training workout:

1. Space...check?
2. Stairs...check?
3. Wall space...check?
4. Yard space...miscellaneous check?
5. Sturdy Chairs...check?
6. Ceiling Height Space...check?
7. Bed...check?

Well, there we have it! The bare essentials with an exception to yard space especially for those individuals that have apartments, lofts, condos, dorms, or strict outdoor rules. However, if we have yard space then other essentials come in to the picture such as, trees, grass, and special extra credit incentives, including patios, change in terrain from grass to asphalt, and house wall space for outdoors.

So, what do these essentials mean?

All of these essentials hold true to the phenomenon that we have our own gyms. We live in our own gyms. Do not get me wrong - a truly structural gym is a good place to have membership or to have training session. However, having the capability to perform exercises, which we can include in our workout regimens away from our home gyms; and thus, knowing what to do with what we have in our abodes is more important and more beneficial to us than solely using the structural gym for all of our physical needs. Now, I never said drop your gym membership. After all, that move is always totally up to us as individuals. I respect the economy's hardships but will not settle. The key plan that is emphasized in this case is the privilege to have multiplicity, variety, diversity, and at times, ingenuity embedded in how we physically, and ultimately, mentally demand ourselves.

The properly home trained individual can travel into virtually any home and deliver good manners with appropriate conversation. The properly home trained workout or exercise individual can diversify his or her regimen outside and inside one's own home. Both warrant practice and discipline. Both have plans of establishing the end goal of a good relationship.

So, what else can we gain from the previously mentioned essentials?...Well, with these essentials, as they mimic a typical gym, we have floor space, group space, a wall for throwing balls or for enduring that good pain through wall sits and more, stairs for our glutes, thighs, gastrocs, and hammies (hamstrings), ceiling space for jumps or overhead activities, etc. Most gyms have the same layout but in a different arrangement.

The only thing we are missing at home is a coach/trainer to make sure our form is functional, optimal, and controlled. So, to reiterate - use your own home wisely!

Be fit,

Training because it is a passion. Serving because it is vast.
