Home workouts (Score 1)

Although home workouts can be done, and done well - in my (experienced) opinion, it's often better to get yourself down to the gym. I've always found that when I train at home, I eventually lack the motivation to carry on working out at home, but if I joined a gym - I'd feel I should go there because I'm actually paying for it. Also, once down there, I'd feel that I had to actually get a decent workout to make the commute worthwhile.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to find a good local gym, without all the muscle heads screwing up the atmosphere these days, and you'd be surprised how effective a good 30 to 45 minute workout is during a lunch break, provided it's done maybe three or so times a week (provided you can't make the gym after work).

However, as you said that making it to the gym isn't exactly your cup of tea, a good website is:

I can honestly clarify that Scooby does provide some good information, and provided you study the technique and take the time to do some good reading, you should understand the proper concepts and technique - which after all matter most. Also, I'm not trying to wein you into becoming a body builder, I'm just saying that more muscle really does help. Not just socially, and mentally - but the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn doing nothing at all! :P

I'm just as much of a geek as any other guy, but I'm also a qualified fitness instructor and personal trainer - so I know how to stay fit. Good luck.
