How to Get Fit without Breaking the Bank


Getting more physically fit is a big goal for a lot of us. Unfortunately, though, not everyone can afford to buy an expensive gym membership, sign up for costly dance lessons, or buy a fancy piece of exercise equipment. 


If you’re in the “can’t afford” category, don’t worry, and don’t make excuses. There are still many ways that you can get in great shape, all without breaking the bank.

Get Outside and Use Your Body
To start with, know that it’s a complete myth that you need anything special to get in your exercise. In fact, some of the best exercise involves nothing but your body.

If you want to run, walk, or jog, you don’t need anything except yourself and access to the outdoors. Pretty easy, right? So, with that in mind, lace up your sneakers, no matter how old they are, and get outside!

Buy a Workout DVD or Two
Another super easy and super affordable way to workout is to buy a workout DVD or two. You can generally find these for under $20 at your local department store. Or, if you really want to save some money, head to your local thrift store for used DVDs, which are even cheaper and still work just as well. 

And, if you don’t want to spend a dime, don’t worry. YouTube has workout videos and instructions on pretty much every kind of workout you can imagine.

If none of these free or cheap ways of getting into shape appeal to you, that’s okay. There are some people out there who just really prefer to hit up a gym or take a class. 

If that’s you, the key is to get your finances in better shape so that you can afford to do the things you love. By working with a financial advisor, applying deductions where possible, and getting your taxes in tip-top shape, chances are that you can afford to exercise in any way you desire.
