It seems when January rolls around, many people vow to make a change and eat healthily and begin a fitness routine. They instantly run to a local gym and sign up. The idea is that if I pay for the membership I will use it and it will be the right way for me to get on the right path.
Sadly, this is not what happens. For many, the thrill of the gym quickly fades, but the fees for the membership continue. Before you jump on the gym bandwagon, you might try to workout at home — for free!

3. Visit the Library
Your local library has DVDs and books you can check out to help you lose weight for free. Of course, many times, you’ll find the DVDs from the 80s, but they can still work to help you get an idea as to the plan you want to create. Not only can you get exercise inspiration, but you can even read about healthy eating and find new recipes.
4. Create an In-Home Fitness Cycle
You don’t even need to pay a dime if you create your own workout cycle. For example, you can walk and down your stairs for 10 minutes, then do 25 situps followed by 25 pushups. Repeat the cycle until you get in a full workout.
5. Download Free Fitness Apps
Take advantage of the app store! Download them to your phone, and you can find instructions to help you find the exercises that will work best for you. A few you should look into include: Workout Trainer, Johnson & Johnson Original 7 Minute Workout, and Sworkit.
6. At Home Workout DVD/Program
This is not entirely free, but it is a one-time investment rather than a recurring monthly payment. Some of the routines you can buy include PX90, Insanity, or even Yoga for Beginners.
It is essential to stay healthy and fit, but that doesn’t mean you have to pay too much to do it.
