Don’t exhaust your budget: Work out for less

Don't exhaust your budget: Work out for less

If you think that a good work out schedule requires spending a great deal of cash on gym memberships and pricy equipment, it is time to think again. Just because you are on a tight budget, it doesn’t mean that you can’t stay in the best shape possible. In this blog post, we are going to be talking you through multiple ways that you can stay fit while not draining your finances.

Invest in multi-use equipment

If you want to create your own home gym environment, rather than investing in equipment which only has a single use, it is worth getting some which has multiple purposes. For example, an exercise ball can be used to support your body weight during training exercises as well as for cardio work. An exercise mat gives you a good base from which to practice yoga, stretching or more high intensity workouts.

Workout at home or outside

Rather than spending a great deal of cash on an expensive gym membership, you could instead try working out at home. There are plenty of exercise videos which you can get depending on what your workout priorities are. Otherwise, you can get outside for some walking, running or sporting activities. The feeling of getting out into nature can help to spur you on to achieve new fitness heights.

Use free exercise resources

The most obvious exercise resource out there is the internet which provides hour upon hour of video content, as well as tips, guides and photos. Another great resource is your friends and family, so if they have expensive equipment that you could borrow, it is worth asking them. Otherwise, there are likely to be plenty of free clubs out there including walking and running societies which you could join.

Choose affordable fitness gear

Just because you have fancy equipment, it doesn’t mean that you are automatically going to have a great workout. So, always shop around for the best deal that you can get your hands on and check JD Sports discount codes amongst other things. Some items give you a great workout without costing the Earth, so take a look at things like dumbbells, resistance bands and jump ropes. Alternatively, you could go for second hand equipment so you are much more likely to snag yourself a good deal.

Try bodyweight workouts

There are plenty of workouts that you can engage in simply using your own bodyweight. A soft surface and a bit of inspirational music are all you will need when you are taking part in squats, lunges, push ups, crunches and tricep dips. If you are looking to fit some cardio into your routine, you could try jumping jacks, jogging on the spot, side steps, knee lifts, and power squats. If you are looking to give yourself more of a challenge, you could try slowing the routine down to increase the muscle’s time under tension.

Try out these tips and you should find that your regular workout routine becomes a whole lot more affordable.
