Get fit on a budget

 There`s no need for a gym membership

Staying fit or even loosing weight is a challenge its self.  With so many things do like working, going to school and meeting other obligations in your personal life it’s easy to find a million reason not to workout.  I am sharing a few wallet friendly ideas that will allow you to stay in shape while saving money.

1. Buy a couple workout DVD`s or watch videos on YouTube-  If you think about it buying a couple DVD`s will last you a lifetime and you can use them over and over.

Having a set of workout DVD`s give you access to a 24/7 free gym in the comfort of your home.  You may also need a mat and couple weights that will make your workouts more challenging.  YouTube videos are free and there are several youtubers who have great workout routines that will definitely save you money.  My personal favorites are the Jillian Michaels DVD`s, Mari Winsor cardio Pilates, and the One Day Fat blast by the Tone It Up Girls on YouTube.

2. Download apps on you smartphone – Smartphones can do almost anything.  There are several apps that will help you stay healthy. Nike Training Club (NTC) is an amazing app that gives you the option of choosing several workouts that will either tone your body in 30-45 minutes or choose a focus workout that last about 15 minutes. Additionally you have the choice to use your music playlist during the workout. Just incase you are not familiar with certain exercises; NTC also shows a quick demonstration. I use this workout on the days when I want to get a quick workout in before starting my day.

3. Start training for a marathon or RUN- Running/jogging around your neighborhood is a quick way to stay active and ITS FREE. If you want to keep track of your progress I would suggest downloading the NIKE + running app that track your distance and calories burn. Running for a cause is a great way to stay in shape. By training for a 5K Marathon or Half marathon gives you a reason or a challenge for yourself not only to stay active but also making a difference.
