If you’re an iPhone user, you can find out how many steps and flights of stairs you’ve walked on the health app. Even though a lot of the apps will require a subscription, apps like Nike Training Club (available on both iOS & Android) has tremendous classes and is completely free, plus they offer workouts of all categories.
Participate in indoor workouts
Over time, working out indoors and slowly and quietly evolved as with smart TVs and boxes like Apple TV. Now we’ve got the luxury of being able to access YouTube on our TV’s and watch a full workout and emulate it in the comfort of our living rooms. Plus, to make it interesting, you can participate with a sibling or friend and have a great time on a budget at the same time.
Look for free sports facilities
Another way to maintain your fitness whilst enhancing your funds is to check out the free sports facilities that are closest to you. Amazingly, it doesn’t take a lot of effort, you can google ‘free sports facilities near me’ and you’ve found your answer. You’ll see at least the closest three sports facilities where you’ll be able to get closer to having the ideal body you deserve.
Make your own gym at home
It’s usually thought that the ideal home gym is equipped with expensive equipment but that doesn’t have to be the case unless you want it to be. There’s plenty of budget-friendly equipment available and retailers such as Powerhouse Fitness, allow you to purchase and pay on finance. In case you do prefer your ideal gym with higher class equipment but aren’t currently financially able to make it to as high of a standard that you like, you could start to upgrade to better equipment as you become increasingly financially prosperous in the future.
