Home Workout vs Gym

Home Workout Vs. Gym

Do you really need a gym to get a great workout?

Millions of people have great success with home workouts while others not so much. Lets discuss some most important things you can do to get the most beneficial results.

1. Why?
What's your purpose in working out? Are all your friends doing it or do you really want to be in shape? Are you afraid to look in the mirror or are you trying to flaunt your body in a bikini at the beach?

Whatever the reason... It's important that you remember you can always do WHATEVER you set your mind to. If you want to lose 60 pounds that is totally doable as long as you can always see your future self.

2. Structure
How structured are you? If you want to lose 20 pounds by the end of the month then what is your plan for that? Are you going to do 100 pushups every day or are you going to do a different structured HIIT workout everyday? Are you planning to do the same workout every day or do you have a structured workout for a 30 day period?

3. Enjoyment
Do you enjoy working out or do you dread it? It's important to find a workout you LOVE doing. Even if you've always hated working out in the past that doesn't mean there isn't something you won't enjoy doing... You just need to find it. This is where some time with a personal trainer is really beneficial. If you look forward to your workout each day you'll be much more likely to be consistent and succeed. Even if you don't enjoy working out, you'll almost always feel much better afterwards and eventually begin to love it.

4. Organization & Space
When & where are you going to workout at? Is it in your living room... your bedroom... your kitchen? It doesn't matter but it's important you designate a space for that and have easy access to beginning your workout. Also it's important to have a set time you workout each day to help you create consistency. As you continue to have consistency you'll find the process becomes more enjoyable and easier to do each day until you love it.

Ep. #120 Reflection Is The First Step To Taki...

In this episode, I talk about the role of reflection in the accountability code, sharing a personal story from my book, Doubt Yourself No More. I reflect on trying out for cheerleading in high school, initially to prove a point, but later realizing how reflection evolves when you take action. I explain that reflection is about thinking through your goals, values, and challenges, and as you act on them, your reflection changes, helping you grow and build confidence. This process helps you become more accountable and stay focused on your goals.

Ep. #119 How To Declare Your Commitment To Yo...

In this episode, I share how to set a clear eight-week goal using the Accountability Code, a framework designed to help you take action. Many people struggle with defining their focus, so I walk through six key steps: reflection (identifying your goal), humility (recognizing what’s holding you back), planning (creating a roadmap), implementing (taking action), commitment (declaring your goal), and feedback (evaluating progress). The Accountability Accelerator provides structure and support to help participants stay on track, but even if you're not in the program, you can still apply these steps to make real progress.

Ep. #118 Webinar Cliff Notes! How to Accelera...

In this episode, I talked about accountability and why traditional plans don’t always work. I shared personal experiences, like writing my book and learning to adjust plans to fit my own needs. I also highlighted stories from my clients, like Kim, who successfully hosted events by adapting the accountability code, and Susan, who realized she needed to trust herself more to improve her business. The key takeaway is that being accountable isn’t about following a rigid plan, it’s about adjusting and taking action in a way that works for you.

Bonus Episode! Free Webinar Training March 11...

Hey guys! This is a bonus episode because I forgot to plan for my free webinar on March 11th at noon Eastern Time, and I don’t want you to miss it! It’s all about accountability—why it’s the key to success and how to make it work for you. I share a client story about how small tweaks in her approach made a huge difference and explain why traditional goal-setting often fails. The truth is, accountability isn’t just about willpower—it’s about having the right plan, support, and mindset to follow through.

CHALLENGE TESTIMONIALS

Jessica

With just a 2 pound weight difference after 4 weeks, Jessica was estatic about her progress because look at the difference! She learned how to eat better, release stress, and gain confidence in not just her looks but her abilities too!

Erin

Having babies takes a toll on our bodies that’s for sure. With the Body Sculpting Challenge, you’ll learn how to properly engage your core with EVERY SINGLE EXERCISE you do. You’ll have a tighter, more toned core after just 4 weeks.

Jessica W.

Jessica surprised our whole community with her quick transformation. Due to health limitations she wasn’t able to exercise so she solely focused on her nutrition and guess what? She allowed herself to be the boss! She learned just how powerful our food is!

G. A.

A busy homeschooling mom of 6 exercised smarter, not harder (or longer or even everyday either). She followed my direction to exercise with a plan so her entire body could benefit. No more staring at a busy gym and wondering what to do!

Stephanie

Would you believe her "2017" picture was at 4 years post-partum with her 2nd baby and her “2019” picture was just 9 months post-partum with her 3rd baby? Steph is the perfect example of what a Fun and Sustainable lifestyle looks like. Learn the habit hacks that will work for you over and over no matter what life throws at you.

ME (Marci)

My own transformation has been mostly mental. Sadly I tried so many diets out there only to find that my mind was not in the right place so the physical results never really mattered. Once I learned how to really connect my mind and body I realized that living a fun and sustainable lifestyle trumps what you look like. You can love yourself NO MATTER WHAT!

Jessica

Each person holds their weight differently but no matter what you’ve been born with you can find a way to make your nutrition and movement work for you!

Liz

Nothing makes a transformation look more amazing than confidence! Abs don’t hurt but the coolest part about Liz’s story is that she’s able to keep up with her busy lifestyle as a teacher and mother. Not only does she handle it well she knows without a doubt how dang good she looks!
