Get Fit for _____________.

Cheap or FREE!

So your doctor has cleared you to start doing some physical activity but the budget isn’t as padded as it used to be, right?  Here are six ideas for getting fit…cheap!

1. Workout Videos – $0 (CHA CHING BABY!)
   You can find lots of free exercise information and workout videos online and at your library for strengthening and flexibility, aerobics/cardio workouts, and Pilates. 
2. Walking – $0
   Walking is one of the best forms of exercise – it’s cheap and it’s accessible to most everyone!
3. Play badminton
   Of all the racket sports, badminton is the most accessible.  It’s great for everyone, even if you have a disability.  This type of aerobic activity is realtively low speed and doesn’t require a high degree of skill and fitness to begin with.
4. Put on your dancing shoes!
   Dance studios, YMCAs, or Community Centers offer classes suited to fit your dancing skill level and they range from ballroom dancing to the sexy salsa! 
5. Cycling
   Before running out to buy a bicycle, rent one and take it for a test spin to see if it’s an activity you’ll enjoy.
6. SWIM!
   Swimming is one of the most popular types of exercise and is a great way to tone up and lose weight.  Most pools offer lessons if you are a beginner so check out a swimming club or call the local YMCA or Community Center

Whatever you do – get your MASS MOVING!  For the health of it!
