In this day and age, everyone and their second cousin have experimented with working out at home at least once in their lives. What with the ability to acquire every known piece of gym equipment and send it to your house, it’s easier than it ever was to maintain an exercise regiment remotely. But there are some who say there should be limits to such luxuries. Working out at home is fine, but we have to ask—should you be working out in your bedroom?
Not If You Can Avoid It
If you’re living with a handful of roommates and your room is truly the only safe haven where you can be yourself, then you’re good to go. Work out in your room. You’ll never truly have the same kind of freedom in the shared living room, so you might as well do it behind closed doors.
But if this isn’t an issue in your home, then it’s probably best to find yourself a dedicated room for working out—one that isn’t your bedroom.
The reason for this is simple: your energy levels change from room to room, and let’s just say that the bedroom doesn’t exactly promote high levels of energy. It’s the place you sleep, the place you relax, the place you want to stay put in when the morning comes. Therefore, in order to achieve the best workout performance, find a room in your house that’s conducive to high energy levels and an upbeat attitude.
