If your new year's resolution is to lose weight, keeping the promise may be a little more challenging during the Christmas holidays. The season is a festive time for family and friends and there is always turkey and eggnog wherever you go.

You cannot NOT refuse and it won't be long before you have started piling up a respectable amount of calories evidenced by your very tight pants. By the time the New Year arrives, you get another incentive to keep hammering on your last year’s weight loss resolution.

Losing weight is not rocket science. It starts with a choice. It only takes a little will power to translate it into loads of benefits. If you find it hard to limit your food intake, getting exercise should be your top priority. It’s a simple as that: what you take in should be burned off, so you don’t pack it on your waist.

Join a gym

Working out in a gym is a great idea for those who want to start shedding it off. It has instructors that can guide you on your fitness regime and top of the line equipment you can choose from. You also get to meet a lot of people who share your interest and it ...
... can be a great way to make friends and even get dates.

But joining a gym is not for everyone. First timers may get self conscious and insecure working out side by side with others gym veterans who are already fitter and leaner. They may also be shy in working out in public. They don’t want to be stared at or try out their new gym get up.

Weather can also be a factor when working out in the gym. You maybe working out indoors but getting to the gym requires you to navigate roads and bridges sometimes under extreme weather condition. Who wants to go out while a storm is in full force?

Invest in used fitness equipment

Your schedule plays a critical factor in your choice. Going to the gym can be time consuming and you may have to wait in a queue on that treadmill machine you want to use. No one wants to wait when your time could be used in more worthwhile activities.

Instead of working out at the gym having your own training equipment at home can save you time and money. You can also enjoy the convenience of working out privately while watching TV or listening to your latest audio book.

Getting used fitness equipment can save you a lot of money as long you know what to look for. Pre owned gear costs only a fraction of the same brand new equipment and there are companies that sell refurbished equipment making the product good as new.

Here are 3 equipments you can consider for starting your home gym:

• Precor 546i – An elliptical fitness cross trainer that provides low impact work out by allowing for smooth, natural movements. Its top of the line brother, the EFX 576i, has cross ramp technology and moving handlebar. Cross ramp technology affects the height of elliptical path your foot travels allowing you to concentrate and focus on all major lower body muscles while minimizing fatigue.

• Stepmill 7000pt – This is a revised version of the original stair stepper. It recreates the stair climbing experience with its revolving staircase feature. Unlike ellipticals, it does not contain movable arms, ramps and stride length. It is one of the toughest cardiovascular machines that exercise the thighs, hamstrings and entire lower body.

• Life Fitness 95T – This is a state of the art treadmill designed to deliver the ultimate immersive workout experience.
