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

7. Bring Your Lunch To Work

Given how busy life is, eating out at work usually means extra fat and calories, not to mention the extra time and expense. By packing your own lunch, you have the opportunity to limit the fat and calories typically present when you eat out. You'll also provide your body with better fuel to get more out of your new fitness routine. And with all the time you save not running out for food, you can go for a walk!

Starting a new exercise program can seem daunting, but nobody said you have to run a marathon your first week. Start by doing a few sit-ups or push-ups on commercial breaks when watching television. Simple activities like these can help jump-start your desire to exercise, and are healthier than visiting the refrigerator. And once you feel comfortable, you can progress to something more challenging.

But be careful, exercise is addictive, and once you get into a habit you'll be surprised by what you can achieve. In the end, your heart will thank you, and if you follow my tips for getting fit on a budget, your wallet will too! And as always, check with your doctor before starting an exercise program.
