Whichever option you choose to go with commitment is going to be a huge factor. Several studies over the years have determined that you are much more likely to stick to a routine at a gym away from home than one in your home. Also variety is a huge issue when it comes to exercise. If you are doing the same exact workout day in and day out it will get very old very fast. It is important to try something new every once in a while, especially if the current plan has become “easy”. You have to continue to push yourself to have a continued level of health.
