Blogmas Day 4: The benefits of working out alone

  • No distraction, you can focus 100% on yourself
  • You can workout when it’s most convenient for you and don’t have to work around someone else’s busy schedule
  • No long breaks between sets due to conversation
  • You can tailor your workouts to your bodys needs and fitness goals
  • For me my workouts are my “Me-time” (mental health) it’s a great stress relief to put on my headphones, blast my music and just kick ass.
  • I personally feel more motivated working out on my own and pushing myself to the limits (I feel like my workouts are more intense by myself)

I have built my own little Home Gym so I’m very used to working out on my own. I might show you around in a different post (it’s not super fancy, the garage is not pretty…but it’s functional).
