4.
Develop a constructive attitude. Do not focus on what you are giving up to
exercise on a regular basis, but on what new options you'll have after you become fit.
5.
Engage your body and mind. Connect on a deeper level, you'll be more
likely to stay with your routine. If your exercise time on a stationary bike is your 30-minutes away from work or a time for reflection, you're much more likely to stick with it. Individuals claim to experience an increased sense of creativity and an enhanced thought process due to a regular exercise program.
6.
Consider many of the physiological benefits. If a strong and fit body isn't
enough to keep you motivated, consider some of the hidden benefits of exercise: lower blood pressure, stronger heart, more ef
ficient pulmonary
system, lower risk of osteoporosis and stress reduction.

It's Ne
ver T
oo Late . . . for F
itness
Most of us have very busy schedules and to keep our fitness level intact we
have to be extremely ef
ficient. These three words, ef
ficiency of ef
fort, form
the core of creating your own home fitness center
. Ef
ficiency of ef
fort means
producing maximum gains with minimal time spent; this is the goal of most of us when designing our home fitness program.
The bottom line is you must be creative and innovative to get the best
results. W
ith this book and your own creativity a great workout is only a few
moments away; a dif
ferent grip on the multi-gym, a varied stepping rhythm
on the stepper
, a new intensity on the stationary wind-load simulator or a
more rapid stroke rate on the rower
. By varying your workouts you'll create
maximum gains in the shortest time frames.
As you will see, your home fitness equipment will allow you to reach your
fitness goals and prepare properly for a healthier lifestyle. Anyone who is serious about fitness
–
o
r
fo
r
that matter just improving their overall fitness –
should have a few basic pieces of home fitness equipment. It makes no dif
ference
if you
are a competitive cyclist or triathlete, an executive or
someone
trying
to tone t
heir muscles, the home fitness center is the most
ef
ficient way to help you reach your physical potential. Edmund R. Burke, Ph.D., is author of the Complete Home Fitness Handbook,
published by Human Kinetics Publishers. It can be found at major book stores or you can order it by calling 1-800-747-4457. He also serves as Director of the Exercise Science Program at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. ■
