Why Home Workouts Are the Secret to Consistency
The biggest predictor of workout consistency isn't motivation—it's friction. Every barrier between you and exercise (driving to gym, finding parking, waiting for equipment) is an excuse waiting to happen. Home workouts eliminate all of them. Research shows that people who exercise at home are 50% more likely to maintain their habit after 6 months. You don't need equipment, you don't need space, you just need a commitment to move for 10-20 minutes.
Pro Tip
Designate a 'workout corner' in your home—even just a yoga mat's worth of space. Visual cues trigger habits.
