| Typically this question would sound something like, | | | | equipment |
| "Where is the best place to workout?" The answer is, | | | | -distractions like family, phone other tasks |
| wherever you'll actually do the workout on a regular | | | | -motivational environment lacking, instruction not readily |
| basis. And usually this means wherever it's most | | | | available |
| convenient. Some people enjoy going to the gym in | | | | Outdoors |
| order to escape from their normal environment and | | | | Plusses |
| focus on working out without all of the normal | | | | -get fresh air and sunlight which is good for your health |
| distractions. Others would rather do it at home where | | | | -more enjoyable especially with aerobic exercise |
| they have privacy, don't have to travel anywhere and | | | | -you can do things you can't do indoors |
| won't feel self-conscious. Still others enjoy being | | | | Minuses |
| outside while doing their workouts and may have | | | | -weather can be a limitation in some locations |
| rather nice locations (parks, trails etc.) nearby to do so. | | | | -if you want to use equipment you have to pack and |
| Obviously there are plusses and minuses for each. | | | | unpack |
| Lets go through a few of them. | | | | -safety or other location/time factors may impact |
| Health Club/Gym | | | | The bottom line is you can get a great workout in any |
| Plusses | | | | of these settings, it's just a matter of doing the right |

| -allows you to escape workout distractions | | | | anyone so try doing some of your workouts outside, |
| -offers instructors, and classes, something for | | | | some inside, and if you have a gym membership do |
| everyone | | | | some there. One big advantage of a gym is you have |
| Minuses | | | | a lot more variety especially for a beginner and/or |
| -may be crowded at certain times | | | | someone who is extremely advanced. At the same |
| -can be pricey | | | | time, if you use your creativity you can do some pretty |
| -may be confused by huge number of workout | | | | fun and intense workouts at home. Plus at home it's |
| options | | | | easier to try new things since you have no one around |
| Home | | | | looking at you in a weird way or asking questions |
| Plusses | | | | about what it is you are doing. Now when it comes to |
| -privacy, don't have to deal with strangers around | | | | being outdoors you get a much more realistic workout |
| atching | | | | particularly with the aerobic exercise. Walking or |
| -more time options since you don't have to go | | | | running, riding a real bike or hiking is much more |
| anywhere | | | | beneficial and fun when done outdoors, especially with |
| -more comfort for those who may be out of shape | | | | a friend. Find your personal preferences and you can |
| Minuses | | | | make any setting work for you. |
| -not as much equipment variety, cost of buying | | | | |
