Perhaps this blog will tip the scales for you to make the move from spending time in the recreation centre and getting those gains at home and, in turn, maximizing downtime and time with family.
I was never really much of a Globo-Gym guy (for those who know, will know). I am fortunate enough to be able to work out at home avoiding the need to wait to work in with anyone and share equipment. As well, I can organize and clean up to maintain my equipment and gear.
