You could get in shape standing in one spot and shaking for 6hrs a day.

There are a lot of better programs to get you fit though. What's hard is figuring out if one's gonna be easier for you to stick to than another.

That's why Get-Fit-Quick schemes are so useful.

They'll teach you the things you 100% should never be doing.

Trying to avoid the mistakes those schemes are riddled with is a perfect guide to building a habit that works for you.

This is what makes them so God-awful:

The transition.

All of the quick solutions ask you to make massive changes to your lifestyle.

You wanna lose weight? Put on some muscle? Let's make that as inconvenient as possible.

Let's make you spend double on groceries this week. Then, start a workout routine that takes up all your free time. When you can pick your phone up again, cancel your plans for the next year - you're gonna be in traction for a while.

It's a lot easier to get in shape and stay that way when it fits nicely into your lifestyle. The changes should be gradual and easy to make, so that your habit is convenient to stick to.

You don't have to live at the gym. You don't even have to go to the gym.
