Get Fit at Home

Home fitness is your other option if you're not crazy about the gym and fall is a great time to get your home gym in working order. Remember, you don't need a lot of equipment to create a solid home gym. In fact, 'home gym' can mean anything from a set of resistance tubes to a full spread complete with home gym, cardio machines and floor-to-ceiling mirrors. Use these resources to figure out what you need or to learn about workouts you can do with no equipment at all:

Essential Home Gym Equipment
Exercising on the Cheap
No Equipment Workouts
Advanced Cardio Blast Workout

Another option is home workout videos. Even if you're not a fan of working out at home or working out to videos, it's a good idea to have a few good ones around so you always have that option. Collage Video is a video catalog offering hundreds of videos you can't find in stores or, if you want to try before you buy, check out what's available at your local library. Before you buy any video, be sure to visit Video Fitness to read through hundreds of reviews posted by real exercisers.

Sure, exercise and eating well are important elements of a healthy lifestyle -- but so is having fun.
