One of the biggest benefits for joining a gym is that you’re paying for the privilege of working out. That might seem odd that you have to pay to put yourself through exhaustion but it really is a perfect motivating factor. If you’re paying for the membership then you’re going to want to use that membership. This is the opposite having home exercise equipment. That’s because when you bring something in your home there is a sense that you can “get to it” whenever you can. Which is why most home treadmills and other exercise equipment end up being clothes hangers instead of places of workout.
The other problem with working out at home is all the distractions. If you live alone you’ve got a good shot at squeezing in the occasional home workout but if you’ve got a family then you can forget about that. Between the kids asking for something, pets needing attention and the hundred other things you do around the house it is simply impossible to get a work out. On the other hand if you head out to the gym you can turn off your phone and focus on the exercise.
You’re also going to get a lot of support at the gym even without a personal trainer. You’re sharing the space with other folks at all levels of body improvement. They’re not there to judge but to get in shape. If you need a little help with a machine or routine you’re sure to find plenty of willing volunteers who will offer sage advice. Then there are all the terrific classes. Hopefully, the gym you’re considering joining will have a wide range of workout classes. Often these are free with the membership so dive in an enjoy.

Do you know the difference between direct heat and indirect heat? If you want to step up your grilling game you should. For all practical purposes it comes down to a question of temperature and time. Direct heat grilling involves having your meat put over the flame with the lid open. This works for thin cuts of meat like fillets and kabobs that you want to cook fast. Indirect heat is better for larger pieces of meat like steak or roasts. For this the food is cooked off of the flame with the lid closed. In other words set only half of your flames going and put your meat on the side without the flame. It will take longer to cook but will definitely cook all the way through.
You’re favorite shopping partner this holiday season could be a smart phone app. There are dozens of scanner apps that let you wander into a nearby Raleigh store and take a picture of a product’s UPC bar code. The app then shows you if you can get that item at a better price somewhere else. What’s great is that armed with that information, you might be able to convince the store to sell you the item at the discount price. Chances are you’ll get the deal because they want to keep you in the store. This would make you a very smart shopper indeed.
