As a dedicated endurance runner, I love to do supplementary workouts to keep my calves and core strong for forefoot running. I wish however, I had more time to go to the gym. Basically, it’s a matter of finding the time to fit in a strength training session that fits into my busy lifestyle. And of course, finding the time to do that is only half the battle. I have to afford and get my money’s worth in a gym membership, and lets face it, gym memberships can be pricey for what I want in a workout.
So instead, I workout at home and I feel I am more prepared to do so (from a motivational standpoint) –especially during the winter. I actually do more exercises in 1 hour at home, than 2 hours at the gym! And, I have saved more money by investing in home gym products, if you factor in the time and cost required to go to a gym. Today, I have teamed-up with BowFlex to share BowFlex coupon codes with you because we want YOU to be prepared to workout at your OWN financial convenience in the comfort of your OWN home!
