The holidays are over and you had resolved to start exercising in the New Year but have found yourself cash strapped after the festivities. Here are some tips to see you, and your wallet, through the January pinch.
1. Pay-as-you-go
Most gyms offer a pay-per-session system so take advantage of this to attend a couple of classes or to use the weights room to tone up.
2. Workout DVDs
With thousands of workout DVDs on the market, there is a workout to suit everyone’s goals, and pockets. Whether it is strength training, yoga, zumba or stretching, hit up your local DVD shop for a fun and affordable way to exercise at home.
3. Outdoor activities
As long as you have suitable gear, it costs nearly nothing to exercise outdoors. Road running, bike riding in Karura or hiking the Ngong Hills are some of the affordable options for anyone looking to get fit while enjoying the great outdoors.
4. Self training
Magazines like Eve Woman offer step-by-step instructions for workouts you can do at home with minimal equipment. Look up back editions online for a fun and varied range of workouts.
