Keeping Fit on a Budget

Whoever said physical fitness can only be achieved by enrolling at an upscale gym or boxing classes? Think out of the "fitness fad" box and you'll be amazed to discover how many of our daily, routine tasks can help us keep fit in a fun and inexpensive way. Here are some useful tips:



HAVE A TV WORK OUT!
That's right - just tune in an exercise channel on TV and have a blast doing the latest "dancercise" work out. Enjoy this convenient and hassle-free way of keeping fit in your own home.

EQUIP YOURSELF, THE CHEAP WAY
Once you've decided to work out at home, you'll need some exercise equipment. This doesn't mean you'll have to invest and shell out a big sum of money for equipment. Canvas for second-hand weights, dumbells, tread mill, etc. Chances are, a couple of friends have the very things you are looking for. Who knows maybe they'll give those untouched unused practically new equipment for free?

WALK THAT STRETCH
If you drive to work, try parking at a place some distance away from your building or if you take a bus, get off at the bus stop a few meters away. Walking this distance will invigorate you and jumpstart your hectic day at work.

CLIMB THE STAIRWAY TO HEALTH
In this day and age of high rise buildings and skyscrapers, this may be an insanely impractical idea -- use the stairs! Your office may be located just in the second or third floor so you have no excuse to -- use the stairs! So what if your office is all the way up the 50th floor? Try getting off at the 48th or 47th or even the 45th floor. Then you know what to do -- use the stairs!
