Cheap Workouts: How to Exercise on a Budget - The New York Times

bontereng.blogspot.com

You don’t need a fancy home gym or a trainer to build an exercise habit. These ideas will get you started.

If you have a limitless budget, there is no question that you can get into shape. You can hire top-flight trainers, buy yourself a Peloton or a Tonal smart gym, and then splurge on bikes, kayaks and windsurfing gear.

For most of us, though, shelling out thousands of dollars on fitness equipment isn’t practical, especially if you suspect it will end up in a dusty closet once your New Year’s resolution wears off. But here’s a little secret: Getting in shape doesn’t have to cost a fortune.

“I can go to the beach for free,” said Milo F. Bryant, a trainer based in San Diego. “I can pick up some hundred-pound rocks and carry them.” Mr. Bryant (who has also been known to push cars for a workout — he recommended midsize sedans for beginners, only on flat surfaces) said bear crawls are another great, cheap exercise. “You do bear crawls going down steps, your upper body is dying by the end,” he said.

Mr. Bryant noted that he eventually had to start working out at night to avoid all the stares as he lugged rocks around and crawled on steps. But there are plenty of other ways to get a solid workout for less money than a trip to TGI Fridays.
