​7 Sure-Fire Ways To Get In Shape On A Budget!

Gym Workout

2015 is here, folks, and with it comes another opportunity to fulfill your New Year's resolutions. Perhaps one of those resolutions is to get in better shape, but worries about cost, time and convenience are holding you back. Fear not, getting in shape these days is easier and more affordable than ever!

Whether you like the idea of exercising at a gym, or if you would prefer to get in shape outdoors or at home, you have some great options. But strike now while you're motivated or another year might slip away. So put on your workout gear and read on to learn how to get fit without spending a lot of money.

1. Take Advantage Of Specials At Your Local Gym

Many gyms have great membership deals for people who are starting the New Year with new fitness goals. But do a couple of things before you sign up. Ask prospective gyms for a free trial (most offer them), and then use it! You want to know if this is the right gym for you, and whether you want to commit to traveling back and forth to workout. And read your membership agreement prior to signing! If you decide a gym isn't right for you, you want to make sure you can leave without an early termination fee.

I kept waiting to feel better before starting to workout again last year. Funny thing is I kept feeling worse with no improvement and even less motivation to workout. When I finally started working out, after the first couple days of shock and horror, I started feeling better every day and just a few months later I feel amazing. Don't wait to feel anything folks--just do it like you know you should for a few weeks and then judge how you feel!

Hey Keith, great article!

I found especially true the tip number 2 - that you have to train with a personal trainer. It helps me a lot and I've seen more results after I am training with a trainer. First of all it helps to execute the exercises correctly, second of all it keeps you more disciplined.

Please write something about nutrition as well,
Thanks!
