Exercising doesn’t need to be really expensive but some folks
will use it as an excuse. . When
confronted with the high cost of gym memberships, home exercise equipment, and
personal trainers, many decide they just cannot afford the cost of getting
healthy. This just isn't the case and it is possible to exercise and get
healthy while spending little to no money. Cheap exercise will take you a long
way towards your weight loss goals and overall health.
Follow these frugal exercise tips to find your way into a healthy body without breaking the bank.

Use what's around your house - lift weights with items like canned vegetables or a gallon of milk.
Do work around your house - Yard work can be very strenuous so get to work raking leaves.
Search online especially youtube - There are many free videos you can find on the internet. Here is one fitness channel http://www.youtube.com/user/BeFit.

free. Take off around the block or head to the nearest park or trail.

Great ideas! This is the way I work out too, mostly, although my husband did buy us a treadmill a few months ago.
One more thing: If you want online support, join Fit Mommy on my blog. The meme has been going on for almost 3 years on various blogs and has helped countless moms meet fitness goals.
Sometimes it's been a huge group of women; right now it's a cozy few and with your approach you'd fit right in.
Yup! Another frugal fit mom here! Anytime I'm tempted to buy another dvd, I remind myself about the ones I already have at home.
FYI - You can link this post up at jillconyers.com's Fitness Friday today, and my Motivation Monday linky on Monday.
Off to check out Fitness Mommy!
