The year is almost over and you’re still not able to reach your fitness goal. Admit it, it’s truly hard to resist the temptation of those glorious desert at the mall or the call of your bedroom telling you to sleep rather than workout. But despite of this, you still have time to reach your goals that will later on help you become a better person. And a way to do this is to create a home that fits your active lifestyle.
Your home should be your number one motivator so that you can get the body that you want. Below are some of home must haves that fitness gurus and buffs have in their home to ensure their active lifestyle.
Stairs

A simple staircase in your home can save your health miraculously. Imagine all the exercise that you can do by simply climbing up and down in your home’s staircase. A simple workout idea is getting your stuff from the second floor one by one so that you can get as much legwork as you want.
Huge windows

Having a hard time waking up from your sleep to jog? If your alarm is not doing its job then perhaps it’s time to invest to bigger windows which give you access to daily sunshine. You won’t have a hard time waking up since it’s already the sun calling out at you.
Bright colors

Blue and other mild colors are known for giving you a relaxed and sleepy vibe. These colors won’t be able to help you move up and workout. What you’ll need is to change the paint of your home into something bright like red or yellow. Opting for prints is also a way to incorporate exciting colors to your home.
Indoor pool

One of the best exercises that will ensure you fitness is swimming. A few minutes of swim before or after work can do miracles to your body. Find a condominium that has a great indoor pool. Or better yet create one right in your backyard!
Court

Many condominiums and subdivisions have their own courts perfect for Sunday lawn tennis or a quick basketball. Having a court nearby to your home (if you don’t have one in your backyard) will ensure that you won’t get lazy to work out. A plus is that you can also bond with your family and the other members of your community.
A small gym

Relax. You don’t need to add another room to your home if you want a space where you can stretch your joints and sweat. A simple yoga mat is what you needed to recreate those yoga moves that you see on YouTube. If you want a full body workout, then simply attach your instruments on your bedroom wall like the example above.
