Free Fitness Exercises
You do not need to have a full gym of expensive exercise equipment to have an effective training program. Also, in the current economic climate we would all love to save a few extra dollars. Here are some exercise activities that will not cost you a cent, and you get the bonus of a bit of fresh air! Just don't spend the money you save on an unhealthy food snack afterwards! You could stay at home and do a Home Workout or do some of these Body weight exercises, but even better get outdoors for these cost-free activities.
Exercises
-
Parks — Running on the grass is much better for your joints compared to a treadmill or along a road. Running outdoors is also more demanding than running at the same speed on a treadmill, plus you get the benefit of the fresh air and the changing scenery. Take your dog or other friend to make it a social and more enjoyable activity too.
Beach — The beach is a great place to go to relax, but also a great place to do your workout. There are countless activities you can do at the beach that will provide you with health benefits, and many of them won't seem like exercise at all. Running in the sand can be hard work, and the extra instability is great for developing stabilizer and core muscle groups. See also this list of training exercises for the beach.-
Hills — For a more demanding workout, head for the hills. Find a hill or better still a sand dune, and do some sprints up. Walk back to recover.
-
Stairs — Choose to take the stairs rather than the lift at every opportunity - little things like this help you keep in shape in the long run. For a workout, find some stairs where there are not too many people around, and do some runs ups. There is nothing like some stairs or hills to get your heart rate elevated.
