One of the solutions to train in pandemic is to train at home. However that does not mean you can't train with your fellows. Below are seven captivating suggestions revealing how it is possible.

This is a guide that shows step-by-step how to start training at home. It combines the MENTAL attitude with the PHYSICAL tools needed to build a strong motivation that works for everyone.

1. Define how you want to have your body and how you want to feel

Saving your time is one of the many benefits of training at home as there is no need to drive to the gym. After you have done your training, you can immediately do anything at home. When you engage into a gym subscription, you have a goal in your mind for your body and you are asked what are your goals. At the beginning of starting this training program at home, you can re-create the process of a gym subscription and take it honestly. Grab a pen and paper. Read the following questions, choose the ones that resonate the most with you and write quick thoughts that come easily to your mind as answer (the thoughts that come out easily are most honest). Just write even if your mind says "it is impossible", "it does not work", be bold and do it despite your chatty mind.

• Do you want to lose weight?
• Would you like to get better defined muscles?
• Do you look up for strength in order to be able to pick up heavy objects?
• Would you simply want to have more flexibility for the hectic pace of day-to-day life?
• Do you want to have the six-pack outlined and a thin waist?

In addition to these questions that you usually get asked in gyms, here comes a favorite question:

How would you feel if you found happiness in training?

Scientists have said that when we train, hormones dopamine and serotonin are released. Then we feel happiness and a sense of well-being. Although it is scientific based, you don't need to know these names in order to get the benefits. More important than anything else, is knowing what you enjoy about training. Read carefully these questions and let the answers spring from your mind:

• What do you like the most about training?
• What is the idea you have about training that you enjoy right now thinking about?
• How would you be and feel if you were having success at training?

These last questions are fuel for your days. If you have an answer for them, you are already successful even if you didn't start training.

One study conducted by scientists from a university regarding the resolutions of new year, found out that the reason people stick to a new habit after having started, it is because they do not give up something in exchange of sticking to the new habit. They just added the new habit (source: worldeconomicforum). Therefore, habits do fail because people sacrifice themselves or something from their life to get into the new habit. For example, often people stop eating completely fried food and candies once they start training at the gym. Although few weeks later they can't stand missing those foods anymore and begin eating them again. In order to be successful, it is not about cutting those foods forever, it is about eating them and yet implementing a routine of exercising. Or instead of saying "I will stop eating sweets", saying "I will start adding 2 salads to the meals every day". I do believe that we find joy in exercising and that prevails.

2. Plan and make room for your workout time at home

• Would you like training in the morning and before you going to work?
• Or would you rather prefer at the end of the day as a means to relax?

Start by thinking about reserving 30 minutes for your daily workout. Then increase to 45 minutes. Then to an hour. You may want to extend the training time as you gain more stamina and practice. Do it gradually. The human body and muscles can define themselves amazingly. When people do not get the results, what happens is they did not plan how, when and why they want to train. If they do not get the results, then they give up. Yet it was the mind that gave up, it was not the body. The body continues to be able to be in excellent shape. Our brain must be aligned with the body before, reason why there are the questions previously. Now this one is about your favorite moment of training in the day.

3. Invest in a fitness treadmill with impressive features

Personal trainers and doctors recommend running or fast pace walking as the basis of a healthy lifestyle: good for the heart, for the body and even to release stress. It is known as a complete exercise for everyone. Nowadays with the gyms closed or due to hygienic needs, you can choose to walk or run outside.

Having training machines at home is the necessary impulse that lets you exercise freely as you want, when you feel like training and for as long as you want, without interruptions, without the need to leave the machine because someone else is waiting to use it, as often happens in the gyms. If you had the urge to eat a whole chocolate and are full of energy at night and gyms are closed, you can move to the treadmill instantly. If you find distractions at home like, people calling your attention for something, just find a quiet place where to put your treadmill and inform people previously that you will be occupied for the next minutes. Let them know that you will give attention and help them after these next 45 minutes. First make the training time important to yourself, and then when you tell people to not disturb you, they will understand what you mean. It is around 45 minutes of your time, though those moments add up immense value for your well being and health. Athletes and most public personalities train at home with their own machines and that is why they build a strong body and posture.

Your fellow trainers can offer ideas about the exercises more easily and together through the screen you can create healthy exercise competitions. Just be creative. It's amazing what technology lets us to do today. It is up to us to harness its full potential.
