Check out my new home fitness planner

A living room is not a squat rack with a cable stack next to it. If your "home programme" still assumes a bench, a bar, and 75 minutes, you will skip it by Thursday.

The version that sticks is shorter, uses a chair and the floor, and is honest about the body in front of it. Age, current weight, how long it has been since you trained, and the reason you said you wanted this — that last one matters more than people admit.

If you are coming back after years off: three days, low impact, leave a rep in the tank. If you already train: you still do not need a sixth day of burpees in the hallway.

That is the job HomeGym Buddy is built to do. Nine questions. Four weeks. You can do it between the sofa and the TV.
