Slim Your Waist, Not Your Wallet

0 Comments | Post a Comment |

1001…1002…1003! Oh hey, Buck The Normers! I was just working out my muscles! Getting ripped, pumping the iron and getting ready for the gun show. No, really I was sitting here thinking about eating a cheeseburger…mmmmm cheeseburgers.

If you are like me you do want to slim down your waist but don’t really want to slim down your wallet in the process I found some wonderful tips to keep you and your finances healthy.

Go to the library and check out free workout DVDs and books. I went the other day and was surprised by the huge selection. You could also make special requests for the latest DVDs and books.

YouTube has thousands of free videos to exercise to. Some of these amateur fitness folks could give Tony Horton a run for his money.

Find a work out buddy. Getting a dedicated partner can save you money on a gym membership and it keeps you motivated to actually use it.

Running in the park is still a free activity.

Check out your community papers for free workout classes. Zumba, kickboxing, and yoga were just a few I found in my paper.

Working out at home is also an option. There are hundreds of exercises you can do without ever having to pick up a weight i.e. pushups, lunges, jumping jacks.

If you already have a gym membership that you are paying for you could save money by just going to the gym three times a week as opposed to a full week. By doing so you would be saving money on gas and the amount of laundry you would have to do. Trust me little things add up to big dollars in the long run.
