To get in shape or have a healthier life style doesn't necessarily mean you have to go to the gym even tho there are some advantages such as meeting people with inspiring stories to motivate you, clubs to join to make your  excerises more fun and general socialising,however there are some disadvantages such as it can be expensive and some gyms are further away form your home so it's difficult to reach or you may feel uncomfortable working out in front of others,who you may feel are in better shape then you. These can be over come by working out at home as the there are numerous exercises that can shape your body, as strength is the ability to lift your own body weight which is why a lot of boxers do push ups and press ups and skipping,as you need to be able to handle you own body weight as if you loose your step you can regain your self because you can handle your own body weight.  Also at home you are in your comfort zone can play music that will help you exercise, to make you more motivated. Furthermore from your home you can wear less clothing that makes you more comfortable as the less clothing you wear the more oxygen that can get to your body and creates less restriction.
