If you have an exercise machine at home, there are more chances that it lies idle for long without being used. According to a survey conducted by Consumer Reports last year in the country it was found that there are about 40% of people who have a home gym at home. Such gyms are not only equipped with hi-tech exercising machines, but also have a state of the art technology fused into the very equipment.

But if you come to think of it, do full justice to the machines by exercising enough on them? Is your body aching to get a good workout but your laziness is coming in to the way? If you answered yes both the questions, then it’s affirmative that your machines are being underutilized. Research indicates that if people have been working out earlier, the same people are not working out now as they tend to procrastinate or avoid it completely. In the end, your body suffers.
