Reducing friction.

Hear me out.

The biggest barrier to working out is: "I don't have enough time!"

Having some workout equipment (and some knowledge how to use it) takes away the barrier of needing to go somewhere else to train.

Grab the weights, knock out a few sets of some exercise(s).

Another important mindset switch it going from an "all or nothing" approach to an "at least some and often" approach.

"All or nothing" means if you can't do the full workout (however long or complex that might be) you don't workout at all. Well, I'm sorry, folks, but that's a big fat 0 on the old scoreboard.

"At least some and often" encourages and rewards working out, regardless of how much working out you do. Maybe your workouts usually take 45 minutes, but you only have time or energy for 10 minutes of training. Rather than taking that big fat 0, earn a check mark and do a quick 10 minute workout. Even if it's just 2 sets of 1 exercise.

If my math is correct, that's something close to infinitely more exercise than you'd have if you did nothing.

Having some simple equipment at home makes it really easy to accumulate check marks. And at the end of the year, it's the check marks that matter. Not the number of "proper/formal" workouts you completed.

Combining "at least some and often" with a simple home gym removes barriers, eliminates excuses, and paves the way for tremendous gains which will carryover into every area of life.

So lose the "all or nothing" traditional workout mindset, fetch yourself a couple kettlebells or dumbbells, a set of resistance bands, and a pullup bar, and start stringing together some 10-30 minute workouts more days than not.
