Looking for an inexpensive way to tone up, get fit or simply lose a bit of weight so you can look good on the beach this summer? Well, look no further! I as a fitness expert will let you in on 5 easy but effective tips to get fit that don't involve complicated gym equipment and won't cost you an arm and a leg.
*Method #1: Using Workout DVDs: One of the most convenient way to get fit is to use workout DVDs. Not only are they easy of the wallet, but you also get the added benefit of working out in complete privacy from the comfort of your own home.
Workout DVDs are economical and easily available at most stores such as Wal-Mart or Target and many others. As an alternative you can order your fitness DVDs online from the website of your choice, if you prefer to shop online. There are a lot of websites to choose from, some that provide the option to read reviews and even preview clips of the DVDs before you place your order - www.collagevideo.com is one such site.
*Method #2: Using a Jump Rope: Using a jump rope is a great way to get fit on a budget as it gives a fantastic cardio workout, and jump ropes are generally quite inexpensive. Also, just so you know, jumping rope at a moderate speed for 15 minutes can often times give you the same results as running a ten minute mile! The plastic jump ropes are generally better than the cloth ones, and the ones that have soft foam handles are often easier and more comfortable to handle.
*Method #3: Using Kettlebells: Kettlebell workouts are a great way to lose fat and tone your muscles and they are quite economical.
*Method #4: Outdoor Interval Running: Outdoor interval running is both an effective and time efficient workout. Best of all, other than perhaps a one time investment of getting yourself a good pair of running shoes, running is free! If you're running outdoors in hot, humid weather, be sure to dress lightly and stay well hydrated so that you don't run the risk of getting overheated.
Method #5: Playing Outside With Your Kids: Playing outside with your kids, not only helps you get into shape and keeps you fit, but does the same for your kids as well and is fun too. Playing basketball, kicking a soccer ball around and playing tag are just a few examples of fun ways to keep fit. - 23802
