It’s time for your New Year’s resolution! Get in shape, save money, and do both at the same time! Leading a healthy lifestyle does not have to break your bank. Here are some savvy ways to save and get fit. At the gym: Everyday opportunities: Shop Smart: Exercise and fitness bring about great rewards to your body and mind. Remember to stay focused on your goals and that you can achieve your desired results without spending much to do it.
Certified Personal Training and Nutritional Coaching available at Red Rock Fitness OKC - Look for used fitness equipment before going for new. Many barely used pieces are available in fitness specialty stores and can be found in the “for sale” section of your local newspaper and craigslist. - Instead of buying fitness DVDs, try renting them. This will allow you to change up the workout often and beat boredom. - Walk more. Park farther away, take the stairs, walk your dog and play with your kids. All of these are basic and fun, and they help you burn extra calories - Make a workout out of household chores. Vacuuming, mopping, cleaning the garage and doing yard work will all get your heart rate up at no cost. - Health club memberships often include an initiation fee. Ask the membership sales rep to waive or reduce this fee if they can. While this additional charge does go to good use, there is no harm in seeing if they can save you a few dollars. - Personal training isn’t just for the rich and famous. Most trainers offer buddy sessions and group personal training which drastically reduces the cost of the regular one on one session. You can also try training for 30 minutes opposed to 60 minutes. A skilled trainer can design a great workout for almost anyone to complete in under an hour. - Suggest a corporate membership at your work place. Fitness centers often give reduced rates for a group membership. If your company doesn’t support an entire staff membership re-imbursement, grab some co-workers and go to sign up at the gym at the same time.
