Ditch the gym membership for the great outdoors

Gym memberships are an expensive affair, and when paying for each month you may find you don’t get your money’s worth. This is the problem when you find yourself tied to a fixed term contract which you would have to pay out. This should always be considered when considering joining a gym. You will have to buy out of the contract if you feel you don’t wish to continue, giving you little option to opt out.

This kind of problem can be solved by simply building an exercise regime around your life without using a gym. This can save a lot of money each month, and you could put the money saved towards something you enjoy or wish to purchase. If you do feel you need to visit the gym to do training with weights or particular equipment, it is worth finding a pay as you go gym which you can pay a small fee to each time you visit. You may be surprised how much of an added value charge is placed on a gym membership where you have use of the pool and sauna facilities. Visiting gyms at schools and leisure centres can save money in this area.

When building an exercise schedule, you should make sure you enjoy everything surrounding it to make sure you don’t mind sticking to it effectively. You should balance your exercise to contain some times which are more testing than others; this allows you to shuffle the sessions around depending on your energy levels each day.

You can in this instance balance a leisurely walk one day with a long run another day. This allows a little variation to keep you interested. You must make sure when doing exercise outdoors that you have the appropriate clothes to do so. Make sure you have appropriate footwear such as hiking boots or running shoes; this gives you the maximum protection against injury when performing exercise. Another point is to make sure you have clothes to keep you warm when out and about, when running you may not have such a problem keeping warm. However when on a gentler walk, you may feel the chill and you need to make sure you wrap up appropriately to accommodate this.
