18 Tips to be Fit and Frugal C/O Scott Sonnon

1. Bundle up and ride your bike to work. 2.
Take a change of clothes and a toiletry bag, and you’ll look beautiful AND feel great and proud of yourself!
3. Take the stairs. Yes, even if only for one flight.
4. Park at the back. Don’t burn petro cruising the parking lot waiting for the front row.
5.Play with your kids. Yes, you DO have childcare: YOU! Don’t use them as an excuse to not exercise. Play tag, tackle, wrestle, ball, tickle, tumble, and jump.
6. Save a dog at the SPCA, and take puppy for a trot. Or ask your neighbor or friend to let you take theirs for a run.
7. Empower yourself at home. A home exercise tool like the Clubbell has been the choice of people around the world for thousands of years. With less than the price of 2 months at a gym, and keep it for the rest of your life.
8. Close the blinds and dance for 20 minutes. Or don’t close them and laugh with your neighbors as much as they are.
9. Take the first step! The 1st step of your house or apartment is a great exercise opportunity. 10. Step up and down as fast as you can for one minute; rest 60 seconds, and repeat 10 times. Hold a heavy bag while doing it.
11. Can the weights. Or rather, use your canned goods in a sturdy bag as a sandbag to climb stairs, do squats, lunges and side lunges.
12. Clean up your own mess. You don’t need someone else to do your housecleaning or yardwork; plus, it’s a great exercise opportunity!
13. Ask the boss. Email your employer if you can have some free space to exercise on your break, even with your co-workers.
14. Organize a pick-up game of basketball, baseball, or touch football.
15. Water is cheaper than sports drinks… and WAY better for you.
16. Glad grads: check out if any of your local gyms offer discounts to college alumni or grads.
Insurance break: some employers get insurance breaks if you use their gym affiliate, and give you a discounted premium as well!
17. Move every joint: every day for 10 minutes make circles with every joint in your body. See my FREE Joint Mobility eBOOK if you need help. This gives you the energy of an espresso without the crash or the cash!
18. Have a ball: A stability ball is a great way to play around, even if only watching television.
Top of the hour: stand up and perform one 2 minute yoga pose every hour. Go for 8 long breaths: 4 seconds inhale, 4 second hold, 4 seconds exhale, 4 seconds pause.
