Transcript of this Week's Quick Fix:

Working out at home really has nothing to do with what equipment you have, it has to do with your drive and motivation to stick with a plan.

The first piece of "equipment" I generally recommend is a goal setting program to help a client reach a level of accountability.

Otherwise, they'll never see the results that they're looking for.

In the home, it's easy for many people to go astray. Interruptions, deliveries, phones, anything other than the exercise at hand can be a distraction. Over time, these things can become debilitating to a home exercise program.

I've seen hundreds of pieces of great equipment turn in to dusty shelves for old clothing and high school yearbooks! There is always great intentions, but without proper direction, there's not much hope someone will stick to a program.

In terms of other equipment, I recommend different items based on a person's likes, dislikes and usable space.

Exercise balls and bands don't take up a ton of space and are very cheap. Some of the Bowflex models are just as space efficient, but are thousands of dollars more.

Of all the expensive equipment out there, I recommend a bowflex first, then a treadmill, then a eliptical. The rest follow in no particular order!
