Whether it’s losing a few pounds, toning up, or preparing for a sporting event doesn’t matter. Getting fit is an ambition shared by millions. Nonetheless, with so many other expenses to think about in modern life, finding a way to get fit on a budget is always a bonus.

 

I know from personal experience that this can feel like an impossible task, but it needn’t be that way. Try incorporating these four simple ideas into your life ASAP, and stunning results should follow.

 

Fit On A Budget

Work Out For Less

I’ve already posted about toning your bum at home without the need for additional equipment. However, this is far from being the only way to get fitter on the cheap. There are plenty of other home-based workouts that can be discovered online. Meanwhile, running and cycling require a small initial outlay and nothing else.   

 

Alternatively, you could look to find a sporting activity that can be enjoyed with friends and family. Aside from being cheaper than the gym, it encourages social interactions. When fitness is fun, you’ll be far more likely to keep it up to.

 

Fit Fitness Into Daily Activities

While workouts and designated activity time are crucial in the bid to get fit, they aren’t the only key factors. Squeezing a little extra fitness into your daily habits can make a big difference. Aside from saving money, this can actively save time. That has to be a recipe for success in anyone’s books.

There are many ways to make this work. Dr. Axe shows a variety of workouts that can be completed at your desk. Meanwhile, taking the stairs instead of the elevator or getting off the bus a stop early will help too. Those small lifestyle changes won’t take their toll on your day, but their impact on the body can be huge.

 

Eat Well For Less

Everybody should know that healthy living relies on good nutrition as well as regular exercise. Most people assume that healthy eating has to be expensive, but there are ways around it. The Yogurt Nerd can teach you how to make your own, which will delight your taste buds as well as your wallet. Meanwhile, growing fruit and veg helps too.

 

Meal preps are arguably the best way to save money, though, especially during the week. Check out my Pinterest board on Vegan Meal Prep for some inspiration! 

 

Likewise, trading your Starbucks coffee for a homemade black coffee or green tea will save nearly $5 a day as well as wasted calories. You should feel the difference in no time.

 

Quit Bad Habits

Losing bad habits can be just as beneficial as incorporating good ones, not least for your pocket. Quitting cigarettes is one that will directly help your lungs as well as your general health. Meanwhile, if you have a problem with a particular food (including drinks like sodas), you may wish to cut this out too.
