Remember, the show is at 8:30 EST every Monday night! You can head on over right now and set a reminder email as well.
See you there!
I have some suggestions:
Outlets and Target are great to buy fitness apparel. I started out buying the really really cheap cotton stuff and that was terrible. So I have learned that I need to splurge on wicking material (it doesn’t absorb your sweat) although it is definitely pricey. The Champion line at Target is affordable and good quality. I also bought some jogging pants at a Reebok outlet that have lasted me a while. For me, having a good pair of socks and a running bra is essential.
I can’t afford a gym or classes, but I did look into both and found that the most affordable classes around are public classes offered by a local university.
The most frugal exercise options that fit into my budget are outdoor running and indoor exercise videos. For the latter, I use my netflix subscription and the Instant Watch option to have a huge variety of workout videos that I can watch (at no additional subscription fee) instantly on my computer or tv. This means I’m not stuck using the same video over and over; also not dishing out dough for a whole series. I have the 1-at-a-time-unlimited monthly plan for $8.99.
Great Post! I really like the back seat cover idea and will definitely be getting one. I also will be adapting your life kit to fit our family. Thanks.
Linty-I never thought about the netflix on demand viewing-I have the subscription but haven’t really used that option. I’ll have to check it out!
Debbie-covering the back seat is a worthwhile expense as far as I am concerned when you have kiddos. They make SUCH a mess back there! And I can’t tell you how many times that life kit has helped me out-using the tylenol, or fixing a button. .
Sorry Harry, but your post seemed to be spammy-laden with back links to weight loss pills. If I am wrong and you are not employed by the weight loss pill people, please accept my apologies.
Hi there, i know this may be years late, but please may you reply with your email so i can ask you a few Questions about exercise? Thanks!
