Time Allotment

How much time you can afford to dedicate towards fitness week-in and week-out will have obvious implications on what program will work for you.  In-home may seem optimal because of the flexibility, but sometimes these programs are rigid and requires 6-7 days at 1-2 hours per workout.  Taking time to go the gym may not be feasible because of lack of childcare among other factors.

You may hear hype about only needing 10 minutes a day or only 4 hours a week.  While the physical excretion may only be 10 minutes a day or four hours a week, the reality is that the total time commitment to a workout program is going to be more.  Travel time, warm-up, cool down, stretching, meal prep, showering and getting ready are just a few of the activities surrounding a workout that will take up additional time.

A good rule of thumb is to take the estimated workout time of any program and double it.  If you are able to allot this double time, on a daily or weekly basis than the program should fit your needs.  Another item to consider with time is focused or effective time.  While in-home training is a great time saver when it comes to travel, the lack of equipment and loss of focus may not be feasible.  Some people require the immersive environment of a gym or hiking trail to get the best use of focused energy during the workout.  Spending time doing anything ineffectively will yield little to no results.
