1) I can train whenever I want to, no competition or line ups for machine or training equipment.
2) No yuck factor of others sweating all over the equipment before I use it.
3) I can play the music that I enjoy, at the decibel levels that suit me right.
4) I control the temperature I enjoy working out at, which is somewhere in the 10 degree Celsius range.
5) Best of all, no outrageous gym fees.
The downside is that I have no trainer or partner. Though I have no problems with motivation at all, I do have some issues with no one correcting improper form. Due to my office layout, I can't have any mirrored walls, so the video clips I filmed were very informative as to the incorrect form I'm using for certain exercises.
Take these videos with a grain of salt (or tablespoon). I'm not trying to achieve muscle mass, nor any extreme level of fitness. Just trying to stay in basic shape for someone my age, doing circuits that I put together. Figured I'd share my workout session videos, which I\ll break down into the warmup, a couple circuits, and the cooldown session.
The warmup session in this clip is my basic warmup before any workout.
The next clip is one set from my mixed bodyweight and dumbell circuit home workout. I typically do 3 sets of this one twice a week. Varied mix of core, abs and upper body workout.
Here is a short clip of some isometric exercises I do as part of one of my circuits, will be adding a few more and uploading an updated version of this clip.
Here is a circuit that works agility, balance, and endurance. All body weight exercises, still build up a nice sweat towards end.
Finally, the cool down / stretch session is not to be neglected. It helps maintain muscle flexibility, and resets the body after a strenuous workout.
Hope you find the videos informative, feel free to comment on them as well.
