Exercise For Less

Have you been bitten by the workout bug? 

Gym membership fees and expensive fitness equipment weighing you down? 

Lighten up! You don’t have to spend much to get yourself in shape. 

Here’s how: 

1. TV exercise shows

 Crank up the tube and pretend you’re at the gym. 

2. Fitness ball

Bounce around the house, do your stretches or even use it at your desk in place of a chair. 

3. Floor exercises

Get down for those crunches and push-ups! You can watch a movie to make the time go faster. 

4. Run

There’s nothing like some fresh air – and a great workout. 

5. Dance

Play your favorite tunes and dance up a storm. You can also try gaming your dance steps with a video game like Dance Dance Revolution or Wii Fit. 

6. Housework routine

Lunge while vacuuming, squat when checking the oven and do your stretches when playing on the floor with your toddler.
