My goal

Look we get it. You’re tired. You don’t have time for the gym. You work all day. Fast food is a lot easier than packing a lunch. We know it’s difficult to stay in shape.

You get out of college and hit the real world and suddenly a gym is not 4 minutes from your bed, and you have to be at a desk all day. So you let the pounds slowly pack on.

You don’t really notice it. It’s kind of like that phenomena where nothing changes day-to-day, but looking back everything is different.

If you pack on just 1 pound a month, in 2 years you will be nearly 25 pounds fatter. Your gut will sag over your belt, your health will diminish, you will need to buy new clothes, and your sex life will decline- it’s not a pretty path. So what do you do?

Stop trying to go to the gym after work, you’re exhausted, and you need to pack your clothes and it just won’t work. Working out in the morning is your best bet because it wakes you up, stimulates your metabolism, and gives you energy throughout the day.

But who has time to wake up earlier to go to the gym? So you workout at home, before you shower and eat breakfast. You can do some P90x if you’re brave, hit it hard with a few pull ups, push-ups, and sit-ups with your iron gym, or you can try this 2 minute calorie blasting home workout.

We have yet to try it, but can feel the energy rushing through us and our tired bed head eyes waking up after preforming this three times a week.

A slim waist, broad shoulders, and toned arms sure beats a gut and double chin. You can keep going down the path you’re going, or wake up and smell the iron. [Hat tip]

With a name straight out of infomercial island, we were very skeptical about Iron Gym’s usefulness as a home gym workout system. However, despite the corny name we were pleasantly surprised with how great it works.

It sturdily holds onto the door frame for a wide variety of push ups, props down on the ground for pushups, and wraps around the bottom of a door jamb to hold your feet in place while you do sit ups. Don’t let the commercial fool you though, you get zero range of motion on the dips.

Yeah, sure buddy

Despite this, its still a phenomenal work out device that is great for getting a quick pump on the days you can’t make it to the gym. A quick 10 minute upper-body blast before you hit the showers and you’ll feel like you can take on the world. Combine it with the P90X system and you’ll wonder why you ever wasted your money on a gym membership.
