Staying Fit on a Budget
If you have removed gym membership from your budget with the goal of saving more this year, here are a few tips on how to stay fit–on a budget.
- Walk more. If you are one of those people who drives to work or commutes to work, you might want to ditch the car for awhile and walk or sprint from the parking lot to your office. While sprinting might race your heart rate like brosk walking, you might want to change or wear appropriate shoes and be wary of potholes lest you injure yourself.
- Instead of riding the elevators or escalators, use the stairs instead.
- Eat healthy. Increase your vegetable intake and lower your carbohydrates from your diet.
- Keep tabs with your health by having an annual check-up.
- Instead of snacking during break times, eat a fruit or two instead.
- Ditch the softdrinks, coffee and alcohol. Opt for more healthier beverages like some fresh fruit drink or better yet, increase your water intake!
- Stop smoking. Not only are you helping yourself, you are also helping to protect your immediate family who could suffer from passive smoking.
