How do you keep fit on a budget. Gym fees can be expensive and a size-able chunk of your monthly salary. But there are plenty of ways to keep yourself looking fit and trim whilst saving dollars to spend on other things. Here are a few ideas to get your heart pumping and the pounds dropping!
- Get a walking group together. Friends, neighbours or work colleagues after work on on your lunchbreak. If you get a regular group it keeps you motivated and less likely to find an excuse not to do it. Explore your local area and discover hidden gardens and lane ways right on your doorstep!
- Use your furniture. Use a coffee table to do tricep dips and cans from the pantry as weights. You can balance up against the wall and door push ups from your front door step. Your own personal gym!
- Take the dog for a run! The family dog may also be in need of some fitness! Its a motivator to get the dog out and exercised and we all know a dog is the perfect way to chat to other dog owners or friendly neighbours. Maybe organise your own puppy group.
- Swim! If your lucky enough to live near the beach go for a dip in the summer or a refreshing jog along the beach in the morning before work. Watching the sunrise on the coast and feeling the sea breeze in your hair is a perfect way to set you up for the day!
The key to any fitness success is motivation and the determination to keep at it and keep positive!
