How to Keep an Active Lifestyle

28 Shares

My new habits for a healthy active lifestyle started with the following realization:

I want an active lifestyle to be a habit. I want healthy and active habits to be part of my life and who I am.

I don’t want to go on a hardcore diet a couple of times per year once i’ve realized that I have gained a little bit of weight. Gaining weight and going on a diet do not make me happy. But an active lifestyle does make me happy (and fit!). And I believe that activity shouldn’t just be a thing we do at the gym once in a while, but it should be part of life.

To me, an active lifestyle means staying active but not being extreme. I could make room in my schedule for a long session at the gym for a few weeks, but to be honest, it’s not practical to keep that up for my entire life.

Home Workout Equipment Made a Big Difference for Me

For me, it also all started with having my favorite home workout equiment. I guess I’m not such a big fan of going to the gym and paying for a membership to do intense hour-long workout sessions! I do enjoy it once in a while, but can’t sustain the habit somehow.

While there have been times when I had a gym membership, which I thoroughly used and enjoyed, I have been working out at home for 3+ years now. Check out what I have learned about getting affordable home working equipment to help you stay active at home:
