By: The Well Mom/DivineCaroline
Money may be tight but your jeans don’t have to be. Fitness professionals around the country agree that achieving amazing abs and toned thighs is more about your state of mind than the state of your bank account. In fact, trimming your budget may actually give you a good excuse to shake things up.
“Our financial crisis is the perfect opportunity to save a few dollars, but more importantly, to change up your routine to get your body moving differently,” advises Lori Christensen, owner of viXen Training, a Los Angeles-based fitness program for women.
Creativity is key in this austere climate. So here are ten ways to keep yourself strong and sane during these rocky times. These are tips that work for moms or anyone else looking for ways to spend less on staying fit.
1. Get Social
Team up with friends, co-workers, neighbors, or family and you’ll stand a much better chance of sticking with your program. Start a walking or running group in your neighborhood or at your office during lunch. Remember, every bit of activity counts.
