4.  Develop a constructive attitude.  Do not focus on what you are giving up to

exercise on a regular basis, but on what new options you'll have after you
become fit.

5.  Engage your body and mind.  Connect on a deeper level, you'll be more

likely to stay with your routine.  If your exercise time on a stationary bike 
is your 30-minutes away from work or a time for reflection, you're much
more likely to stick with it.  Individuals claim to experience an increased
sense of creativity and an enhanced thought process due to a regular 
exercise program.

6.  Consider many of the physiological benefits.  If a strong and fit body isn't

enough to keep you motivated, consider some of the hidden benefits of
exercise:  lower blood pressure, stronger heart, more efficient pulmonary
system, lower risk of osteoporosis and stress reduction.

■  It's Never Too Late . . . for Fitness

Most of us have very busy schedules and to keep our fitness level intact we

have to be extremely efficient.  These three words, efficiency of effort, form
the core of creating your own home fitness center.  Efficiency of effort means
producing maximum gains with minimal time spent;  this is the goal of most
of us when designing our home fitness program.  

The bottom line is you must be creative and innovative to get the best

results.  With this book and your own creativity a great workout is only a few
moments away;  a different grip on the multi-gym, a varied stepping rhythm
on the stepper, a new intensity on the stationary wind-load simulator or a
more rapid stroke rate on the rower.  By varying your workouts you'll create
maximum gains in the shortest time frames.

As you will see, your home fitness equipment will allow you to reach your

fitness goals and prepare properly for a healthier lifestyle.  Anyone who is
serious about  fitness – or for that matter just improving their overall fitness –
should have a few basic pieces of home fitness equipment.  It makes no 
difference if you are a competitive cyclist or triathlete, an executive or some-
one trying to tone their muscles, the home fitness center is the most efficient
way to help you reach your physical potential.
