Working out at home definitely takes motivation, but as I always say schedule this time in for yourself it’s just as important as anything else. If you have children let them join in on the fun! If it’s too much of a distraction ask a friend or family member to help you, or set them up with something to do while you’re working out.

And remember form is most important, so if you’re unsure of a certain exercise research it and modifications as needed!
