If you want to achieve a healthier lifestyle you should plan on exercising three times a week. You can work out in a gym, at home, or both. Working out in a fitness club is great because of the large variety of exercise equipment and because it has a motivating atmosphere. However, if you do not have time to get to the gym one day you can do some exercises at home with some simple pieces of exercise equipment. Exercises performed with dumbbells or stability balls are great because they can be performed at home or in a gym. So, if you are committed to exercising three times each week, you can try to learn some exercises with each of these pieces of equipment as their versatility will help with your exercise consistency.
